* InspirationForTheWork: Morrison and Quitely both cite a Superman cosplayer they encountered at a convention as their primary inspiration for how to portray the character, noting his laid-back posture and attitude that denoted a man who couldn't be harmed by anything.

* ShrugOfGod: When asked about the book's continuity with ''[[ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder All-Star Batman And Robin]]'', Morrison is vague and indifferent about it.

** On the subject of the Unknown Superman's existence beyond a disguise Clark used to visit Pa Kent in the past, Morrison simply said they liked to think there ''was'' such a character in some "dark century" but still never outright gave a definite answer.

Morrison toyed with the idea that Leo Quintum was [[CanonCharacterAllAlong an avatar of Lightray]] of the ComicBook/NewGods before deciding to simply make him a CanonForeigner.
** There was consideration by Morrison of doing a trio of two-issue spinoffs expanding the world before deciding to leave All-Star as a singular work:
*** ''Superman vs. Satan!'', about a younger pre-flight Superman in his first year in Metropolis, which eventually became the basis of [[ComicBook/ActionComicsNew52 Morrison's Action Comics run]].
*** ''Son of Superman'', about the test-tube child of Lois and Clark hinted at in the book's final pages, and his team-up with Batman's son inspired by the original 1970s Super Sons stories; ideas from this later folded into the chapter ''The Just'' in ComicBook/TheMultiversity.
*** ''Men of Tomorrow'', a "huge, generational Superman Squad cosmic epic".

Not an example, as the author had to have died during production (hence why the trope is renamed Died During Production).

* CreatorBreakdown: Morrison's father died during the writing of this book, which probably led to the scenes where Clark Kent had to deal with Jonathan Kent's death as well as talk with Jor-El in the afterlife.

* {{Jossed}}: A ''very'' popular theory is that Leo Quintum is, in fact, Lex Luthor, having undergone a HeelFaceTurn and traveled back in time. Morrison themself, however, jossed that theory.
