** When the Joker gazes at Calypso's nuke, he comes up with the idea of taking it and [[Franchise/Injustice pranking Superman with it]]. Fortunately Lex is able to talk him out of it by reminding Joker that Superman is way above his league. The Joker agrees and says he could have face a horrible end if he ticked Superman off.

However, he gets distracted from mistaking a random speck in the air for Yankee Doodle Pigeon, and chases after it [[DefiedTrope before he can do so]].
* DiscontinuityNod: One that becomes important to the plot: Calypso's ride in this episode is his Soviet mobile missile launcher from his playable appearance in the non-canon ''Twisted Metal 4''. The important thing about his vehicle is the NUKE on top of it, which he gets to use late in the episode.
