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

* ShrugOfGod: When asked about the book's continuity with ''[[ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder All Star Batman And Robin]]'', Morrison is vague and indifferent about it. According to him, the continuity ''is'' possible since ''Batman'' takes place during the start of the Dark Knight's career while ''Superman'' was at the near-end of the Man of Steel's life.

* RecycledScript: A few moments in this series will seem pretty familiar if you read Morrison's ''ComicBook/NewXMen''. There's a poignant scene involving a spaceship hurtling into the sun, a particularly nasty [[BaldOfEvil bald supervillain]] who [[spoiler:eventually gets [[HeelFaceTurn reeducated]] by the heroes]], a forward-thinking academic who wants to lead human society into a new era, and a story about a future generation of heroes who use TimeTravel to stop a villain from conquering Earth. Most noticeably: the series ends with the death of a MessianicArchetype thematically associated with the sun, with that character eventually [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence transcending time and space]] and traveling back in time to comfort one of the main characters at the grave of a loved one.

Naturally, Waid's ''ComicBook/SupermanBirthright'' and Millar's ''Comicbook/SupermanRedSon'' also borrow some from this pool of inspiration.
