This work contains examples of:
- Adaptation Origin Connection:
- Superman makes his public debut by saving the spacecraft piloted by the soon-to-be Fantastic Four. Also, Johnny Storm is the one who gave him his superhero name.
- The Ancient One was one of Bruce's mentors at Nanda Parbat, with Stephen Strange as Bruce's sparing partner.
- The evil entity that Black Widow (Claire Voyant) serves is Mephisto, instead of a demon claiming to be Satan in the comics.
- Adaptational Early Appearance: Carlie Cooper is Peter Parker's classmate in high school here, while they met well into their adulthood in the comics.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Bruce got the idea of being Batman when, of all things, Alfred complains about bat guano on the Bat-computer.
- Friendly Rivalry: Between Perry White and J. Jonah Jameson.Perry: I scoop Jonah, so then he scoops me, and so on and so forth, so we keep each other at the tops of our games. It's a good system.
- It Amused Me:Batman: It takes a lot of intelligence and effort to make your pills act the way they do. Why do it?
Joker: Because it's funny!
Batman: FUNNY?!
Joker: Yes, hilarious, isn't it. - Lampshade Hanging: In The Golden Age, when Alan Scott and Captain America meet the Eternal Brain.Scott: (Face Palms) You know what? Heck with it. If a little green meteorite can talk to me like I'm having a bad hallucination and make me believe it, then I guess I can believe in a talking Brain in a Jar.
- Mythology Gag:
- Superman making his public debut by saving the Fantastic Four's spacecraft is similar to The Man of Steel, which had Superman reveal himself to the public by saving "an experimental space-plane". Although,
it was originally intended to be a space shuttle in the comic as well, until the Challenger disaster changed it. - Kryptonite was referred to as "K-metal", which came from an unpublished Superman story written by Jerry Siegel in 1940 called "K-Metal from Krypton" (the precursor to Kryptonite).
- Johnny suggested the name "Fantastic Five" for the team along with Superman.
- Like in The Dark Knight Trilogy, Bruce was taught under Ra's al Ghul. Also, Lucius Fox is a Secret-Keeper.
- The Daily Bugle wrote an article with the headline "LOOK OUT! Here comes the Spider-Man."
- Peter's meeting with Jameson over his photos of Spider-Man (including the "Crap. Crap. Front page material. Crap..." line) is similar to the scene in the 2002 live-action film.
- Superman making his public debut by saving the Fantastic Four's spacecraft is similar to The Man of Steel, which had Superman reveal himself to the public by saving "an experimental space-plane". Although,
- Naked People Are Funny: Johnny stood naked in front of the team, due to his clothes being burned after flaming on during a scuffle with Ben.
- Not So Similar: The Spectre tells Black Widow (Claire Voyant) that their missions are nothing similar.
- Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Inverted. In this verse, the Joker started out as an enemy of The Question before his encounter with Batman.
- Starter Villain: Toyman for both Superman and the Fantastic Four, thought the latter were the ones to fight him the most due to former being incapacitated by exposure to the kryptonite.
- Ultimate Universe: While using elements of both universes, this work has the rise of Superheroes happening in Modern Day with Superman saving the Fantastic Four.
- Villain Team-Up: "Big Lou" Moroni has an alliance with The Hand.
- You're Insane!:Joker: One minute someone's energetic and euphoric, the next they're rending random people's flesh! Tragedy mixed in with the surprising and unexpected - isn't that what comedy is all about?
Batman: You're insane!
Joker: True, but I'm not stupid. - You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Max Dillon's reaction to Spider-Man's Spider-Signal. Spidey realize he's right.Max Dillon: That's the gayest crap I've ever seen.
