1* HilariousInHindsight:
2** In the "With a Vengeance Arc", Batman and Superman take on the Maximums, a team of alternate-reality superheroes who are all obviously based on Marvel's ''ComicBook/TheUltimates''. Not long afterwards, Loeb actually ended up writing ''ComicBook/TheUltimates3''.
3** During ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'s debut, Superman, annoyed with their hesitance to go after Kara, unintentionally offended Batman and Wonder Woman by bringing up Jason Todd and Donna Troy, both of whom were dead at the time. A year later, as part of the lead-up to ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', Jason and Donna came back.
4* HoYay: The point of the series was to make Clark and Bruce friends again, and boy did it. They think about each other all the time, they hang out all the time, Bruce meets Clark's family, and Clark looks out for Bruce's family.
5* JustHereForGodzilla: Fans of ComicBook/TeenTitans read the "Mash-Up" story just to see a version (albeit an alternate dream universe version) of the iconic New Teen Titans team, featuring [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Night]][[ComicBook/GreenLantern Lantern]], [[ComicBook/{{Starfire}} Star]] [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Canary]], [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna]] [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Wonder]], [[ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} Aqua]][[ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} Borg]], [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Hawk]][[ComicBook/BeastBoy Beast]], ComicBook/TheFlash (Wally and Barry), [[ComicBook/TheJudasContract Terra]][[ComicBook/RedTornado nado]], and PosthumousCharacter [[ComicBook/{{Raven}} Rav]][[ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} anna]]).
6* MemeticMutation: Issue #56 gives the memetic Batman's line "No, no, stay with me! Don't leave me!". For context, Batman gains Superman's powers and is driven insane, forcing Zatanna to lure him back to Crime Alley with an illusion of his parents to stop him. As the illusions fade away in his arms, he yells out the above line in despair. This meme is often used online to represent having lose something beloved.
7* StrawmanHasAPoint: At the climax of ''The Search for Kryptonite'' Amanda Waller argues for keeping a large store of Kryptonite on hand in case Superman goes crazy. The message is supposed to be "The American government is controlling and paranoid" (all the American flags around the base really sell it), but she has a point about someone having something around to keep Superman in check. Even worse, at the end of the story Batman himself is shown to have his own store of Kryptonite, which just brings up the question of why the guy responsible for ''ComicBook/JLATowerOfBabel'' is the only person equipped to handle a rogue Superman.
8* UnexpectedCharacter: In ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004'', [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara Zor-El]] makes her first appearance in the mainstream universe since 1986.
