1* In the ''Gotham Resistance'' tie-in story, Green Arrow and Damian are going through a maze where GA has been laying out arrows at junctions so he can find his way back. First, Damian points out that there is a heavy magnetic pull in a part of the maze, so all the arrows have been turned the wrong way since he left them there. Then the whole thing turns out to be moot, because Harley Quinn has been collecting the arrows as she and Killer Croc went through the maze.
2* In issue #4, we are reintroduced to Starro the Conqueror. Mister Terrific thinks he killed him earlier, but Starro says he regrew himself from a piece of himself after he exploded. What follows is this annotation:
3-->'''Tay:'''[[note]]Rebecca Taylor, one of the series' editors[[/note]] See issue... Um, [[Creator/ScottSnyder Scott]], Greg [Capullo]... When did this happen?\
4''[just an icon of a hand making the sign of the horns]''
5** Similarly, the first part has Flash drop a reference to Aquaman’s harpoon, with the annotation simply reading “The90s”, rather than any issue or run in particular.
6** After getting depowered by Starro, Hal vows to kick his ass as soon as his powers come back. When Mr. Terrific points out that technically, starfishes don't have asses, Hal vows to find one. Cut to a later scene:
7-->'''Starro:''' OHHHH, IT HURTS!
8-->'''Terrific:''' I have seen many things across many universes, but ''that'' was new.
9-->'''Hal:''' I ''told'' you he had one.
10-->'''Tay:''' Starro has five, actually. (Don't ask.)
11** The new Starro in general. In a marked departure from the other villains we've seen in this comic so far, he's now a sassy, snide and belligerent asshole who talks like [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]] shitposting on Instagram.
12--> '''Starro:''' HAHAHA, I'm back, losers!
13* In the ''Bats Out of Hell'' tie-in story, three of the teams of heroes get sucked into portals created by the Dark Knights. What's funny is the last thing Deathstroke says before he and Aquaman get sucked into theirs:
14-->"[[OnlyInItForTheMoney My rate is going up!]]"
15* This exchange from the last issue:
16--> '''Robin:''' See, Nightwing! Father always returns!
17--> '''Nightwing:''' Yeah. Riding a Joker dragon... and glowing... because of course he is.
18** On the subject of riding a Joker dragon, there's Bruce letting off a very un-Batmanly "Hee-Yah!" as he soars through the air.
19* After the Batman Who Laughs shoots Batman with the very same gun that killed Thomas and Martha Wayne and after he does a speech on how moral codes slow you down, Batman tells him to just shoot him already. But before Batman Who Laughs can shoot, he gets shot in the back by the Joker's "BANG!" flag gun.
20--> '''Batman:''' ''(to Batman Who Laughs)'' Yeah, I wasn't talking to ''you''.
21* In "Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt", T.O. Morrow, Will Magnus and some other scientists are on Blackhawk Island. Morrow uses an egg boiling in water to show that the boiling point of water has been raised, indicating that the laws of physics are breaking down. Magnus, however, asks:
22-->'''Will Magnus:''' You still want this egg? I wasn't sure if it was a demonstration or actual breakfast.\
23'''T.O. Morrow:''' Not now, William! [[SkewedPriorities It's hard-boiled. The damn thing's ruined.]]
24* At the party at Wayne Manor after the final battle with Barbatos... Alfred is the drummer in a band headed by Jon and Damian. Alfred even lets his hair down enough to tie his necktie around his head as he rocks out!
25** ComicBook/SwampThing is attending the party as well - and has actually grown a red bowtie.
26* Uncertain if it was this or {{Narm}}, but Batman reveals that he has... A BABY DARKSEID! And he's not afraid to use it!
27* The Dark Multiverse is a multiverse made up of worst case scenarios that should never have existed...one of the universes shown is Superman Blue, [[AudienceAlienatingEra/TheDCU when Superman became an energy being.]]
28* One of Bruce's jaunts through Barbatos' LotusEaterMachine sees him attending an impromptu concert by Jon and Damian, where he insists on giving an overly sentimental speech. Cue Diana stopping him:
29-->'''Diana:''' Great Hera, this is painful to watch. Bruce, we get it, and we love you. But you need to get a better writer for non-dark, non-brooding moments. Lois?
30-->'''Lois:''' Noooo way. I'm off the clock, Di. I am here solely... to ''RAWK!''
31* At one point, Batman is distancing himself from the Justice League, so Wonder Woman tracks him and the bat-family down to the Amazon rainforest, and she has to chase after an ATV with Damian at the wheel. Wondy insists that they can't win and Damian's response is...
