A shot from the Simpsons opening?◊ It seems like it's more obvious that those are all past characters. And I'm sure I could find a better quality picture.

Mispasted the link.
Fight smart, not fair.Way too wide
Well, yeah, it's a huge composite. The idea is that I could get a high-definition version of any one of those frames and we could use that.
The Simpsons crop◊ (350) from the wide image above

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Looks pretty good. It's obvious to me that those are all callbacks, but does anyone that isn't familiar with The Simpsons want to weigh in?

I think the original was pretty clear. I had only read the trope title, and saw the picture in this thread, without caption, and I understood what the trope was. All I know from the series I've read on TV Tropes.
I got Loads And Loads Of Characters from the Simpsons image. Also, since it's a picture from the intro, it seems more like a presentation than a continuity nod.
The superhero examples don't work, since they're from different continuities. That's not a part of the trope as I understand it.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.If you mean one with DC superheroes, I think the DCAU is usually considered a single continuity. Still, that's not obvious to someone unfamiliar with it.
Bump. Still need image.
Let's just put the original one back. It wasn't misleading - there was nothing wrong with it.
Clock is set.
I like the previous image also. Weak but way better than nothing. No good reason for it to have been pulled.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
I liked the lots of batmen pic myself.
What about this one from the fourth Futurama movie? Too small?

I think it looks more like Loads And Loads Of Characters than The Simpsons one.

I misread the post. Sorry.
