* CallingTheOldManOut: Invoked with Jon criticising the alternate Superman for his attitude towards Conner/Superboy, thus encouraging Superman to open up more to his clone to the extent that he introduces Conner and Jon to his parents.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: As the meeting with the Kent family makes clear, Superman shouldn't have neglected Connor, and it was wrong to treat him the way he did. However, Superman also has a point that Connor was created as a weapon by unknown parties and that he doesn't want his parents hurt, not to mention that he feels violated that someone took his genetics and made Connor without his knowledge. He does promise to try to make things up to Conner.

* DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment: While Jon and Damian obviously form swift if awkward bonds with their fathers' counterparts, Damian in particular is swiftly protective of not only the alternate Tim Drake, but also the alternate versions of Cassandra Cain and Ravi (an old teacher of Damian's in his original world, Ravi sacrificed his sight to save Damian from a punishment due to a childhood mistake). As they continue to spend time in this world, not only does Jon help Superman open up to Conner/Superboy, but Damian [[spoiler:is able to help Cassandra, Ravi and his infant counterpart leave the League of Shadows to live in Wayne Manor, and also introduces the 'local' Tim Drake to the rest of the Bat-Family]].
* RelativeError: Invoked; when Robin mentions that Damian wants to save someone from the League of Shadows' base, M'gann jokingly asks if he just got a girlfriend before Damian clarifies that he's actually trying to save his sister (albeit his ''adopted'' sister, and only her counterpart at that).

* ShutUpHannibal: When Jon confronts Luthor about the mental programming he implanted in Superboy;
-->'''Luthor:''' “Here’s what you don’t seem to understand: Superman is capable of destroying the world on a whim. He could sneeze the wrong way and take out half of Metropolis. Hell, you had a temper tantrum last night and almost wiped Infinity Island off the map and you’re only half-Kryptonian. I can’t have that kind of power out there. Not unless it works for me. I commissioned Project Kr so there would be a controllable Superman deterrent. Now I find out that the greatest living weapon on the planet can make his own little nuclear bomb that’s even more powerful than he is. So yes, I do have to do this. I have to get rid of you and I have to get rid of him. When that’s done, I can be the good guy. I’ll cure cancer, end hunger, do everything needed to fix this world, but I can’t do that until Superman has been dealt with.”\\
'''Jon Kent:''' “Sorry to say this, sir, but that is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. And I’ve grown up in a world where people run around blindfolded through traffic and eat Tide Pods for fun. You don’t have to kill Superman to cure cancer and fix the world’s food shortages. The fact that you could do all that and you won’t until you murder my dad just makes you a selfish, sociopathic asshole.”
