Failed a Spot Check: After the Kingdom Come Superman and Batman witness their counterparts being captured on the word of "Thunderman", Batman reveals to Superman that he's actually double-checked Thunderman's alleged origin and the facts don't match up. When Superman protests that he's a living lie detector and would have known if Thunderman was lying, Batman counters that Superman can only spot lies if he's looking for them. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Batman/Superman: World's Finest (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In issue #6, Superman poses as a circus strongman, which the character is originally partially based on. The cover for issue #8 is a homage to Batman #1. In issue #8, Supergirl reminds Superman that he put her in an orphanage in the 1959 story "The Supergirl From Krypton". Issue #13 references "The Supergirl-Batgirl Plot" when Supergirl and Batgirl express disbelief in Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite posing as them and actually fooling Superman and Batman. Superman at one point quips to David that if he knew how useful having a sidekick was, he'd have put Jimmy Olsen in a costume. (Which, in previous continuities, he did. Many times. Including several stints as the Kandorian crimefighting duo, Nightwing and Flamebird.) Issue #18 is an entirely new "first meeting" between the two heroes, but includes a brief appearance by Magpie, from the continuity-before-last's first meeting in The Man of Steel, and Spellbinder, who in pre-Crisis continuity fought Batman and Superman separately. Superman also references "The Super Dog from Krypton" when he mentions his Kryptonian dog. In the same issue, when Bruce tells Clark he's deduced his identity, he matter-of-factly reveals his own, saying there wasn't much point in trying to keep it secret unless he wore a lead-lined cowl. When Batman tells Superman he's deduced his identity in Adventures of Superman #440, he is wearing a lead-lined cowl (it doesn't help). In #20, Superman discovers that Earth-22 has no record of any encounters with beings from another universe. This possibly reflects that it was originally a possible future, not of Earth Prime, but of New Earth prior to Infinite Crisis, when DC's official policy was that there were no alternate universes, or simply that in the period of it that they are visiting, the stories where they interact with other timelines (The Kingdom, Thy Kingdom Come, Absolute Power, Infinite Frontier, etc.) had not yet ocurred from either world's perspective. In Issue #22, Metron of the New Gods recaps the fate of the Third World, and says that after it was torn asunder to create Apokolips and New Genesis, the Urgrundians were brought to Valhalla, the warriors' paradise of Norse mythology, and we see a panel of an Urgrundian warrior wielding a familiar-looking hammer with lightning bolts all around. One of many references to the Fourth World being meant as a Spiritual Sequel to Jack Kirby's run on Thor. | |

Disability Immunity: Lex Luthor attempts to basically use this by recruiting the Joker to read a map that can supposedly lead him to a source of magical power that would allow Luthor to defeat Superman; according to legend, everyone who has ever attempted to read this map has been driven mad, so Luthor reasons that the Joker won't be affected by that particular issue as he's already insane. | |

Resolved Noodle Incident | |
| Batman/Superman: World's Finest (Comic Book) / int_315b877e | comment |
Resolved Noodle Incident: Issue #12 reveals the full specifics of what happened during Robin and Supergirl's disastrous date (and why Dick and Kara are still feuding about it to this day): Supergirl asked Robin out on a date due to the fact that he was able to save himself easily during a Man-Bat invasion. They both wore their costumes due to the fact that they hadn't revealed their identities and Dick didn't want to blow his. Kara was flirting with the server. To try and smooth things over, Robin tried to explain how he performed with his acrobatic parents until they died and Batman took him in. A monkey named Bingo was loosed on the city due to a sleazy apartment owner, causing a truck filled with bowling balls to crash when the monkey landed on the cab. Robin was forced to handle the avalanche of bowling balls by himself while Supergirl casually handled the wrecked cars and any injured people. The monkey lept onto Robin and pushed away, shoving the two of them into a fountain. | |

| Batman/Superman: World's Finest (Comic Book) / int_47e61b99 | comment |
Narnia Time: The relationship of time between Prime Earth and Earth-22 is weird, possibly because Earth-22 only exists as a "near future". When Superman and Batman travel there, they initally find themselves at the end of Kingdom Come, before bouncing back to some years prior to it, which arguably makes more sense. What's been "a few months" for them has still been long enough for Boy Thunder to become Thunderman, though. | |

Likewise, the series depicts Garth as Aqualad wearing a version of his original costume where the shorts were replaced with long pants. | |

It's All My Fault: David blames himself for fooling around with his parents' prototype rocket, preventing them from finishing it on time to save their entire family. His intense Survivor Guilt and shame over this makes him crack under the pressure when Batman tasks him with using carefully controlled applications of his powers to free trapped miners who are running out of air in a shaft full of flammable gas. But that same shame ultimately motivates him to go back and do it despite the risk of blowing himself and the miners to kingdom come. | |

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: For David/Magog, killing Gog and preventing Darkseid from gaining the Anti-Life Equation was a great victory. But as Darkseid refutes, the battle doesn't even register too much in the grand scheme of his plans for universal conquest. And as he leaves, he tells David that he ultimately just regards him as an annoyance that wasted his time rather than a grand hero who foiled his plans. | |

They are Zebra Man, Bag o'Bones, Ferlin Nyxly, Dr. Phoenix the Abominable Snowman, and Acid Master. While the first one had a supporting role on the Suicide Squad, and the second one became an Outsiders villain, the others hadn't appeared in decades (Vyndktvx from Action Comics (New 52) was loosely based on Nyxly, but is a very different character). Issue #15 features cameos of several lesser known robotic villains who hadn't appeared in years, like Mekanique, Ultivac, The Magneto and The Claw. | |

Hypocrite | |
| Batman/Superman: World's Finest (Comic Book) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Simon Stagg gets murdered and Rex Mason is the most likely suspect. Superman believes he's innocent while Batman tells him not to be so naive as to take the chance he isn't without properly investigating. Unfortunately evidence comes to light that makes Bruce Wayne look like an even bigger suspect, as he has more to gain from Stagg's death. When the Daily Planet runs a piece on it, Batman takes Clark to task for allowing it to happen, even though Clark tries to explain that he has no way of disproving it without compromising their identities and the Planet is running on similarly objective logic that Bruce himself is. | |

Call-Forward: In issue #14, when trying to figure out who killed Simon Stagg, Robin says that Bruce wouldn't kill anyone so forward, he'd probably hire someone to do it, someone with a personal grudge. This is basically the plot of Bruce Wayne: Fugitive. After killing Gog, David gets chewed out by the other heroes for crossing a line that was completely avoidable. Alan Scott in particular warns David that setting an example this way will undoubtedly cause a severe domino effect. | |

Composite Character: The final splash of issue #24 shows post-Kingdom Come heroes of Earth-22, including some kind of multi-elemental that looks like Metamorpho combined with Swamp Thing, and a figure in what appears to be a Batman Beyond costume with a Nightwing mask and an "R" insignia. | |

Medieval Morons: As stranded in the year 1892, Robin tries to solve the murder of two circus workers. Dick insists to his co-workers that the circus's bear and lion are innocent, but he does not explain why, since he assumes those folks cannnot even begin to understand 21st century science... even though his first clue -if the bear and the lion had mauled those men, their fur should have been covered with blood- requires no understanding of modern forensic science. Nonetheless, he assumes 19th century people are too backwards to use simple common sense. | |
