Trivia

 * This issue provides the revamped first meeting between Superman and Lois Lane. The flashback is in line with the continuity established by the Superman: Birthright, which differs significantly from the Post-Crisis origin established by John Byrne in the Man of Steel limited series. The story also pays homage to the work of Richard Donner who directed the first Superman movie starring the late actor, Christopher Reeve. There are several parallels between Donner's film and the dynamics of this story.


 * "Bizarro: Birthwrong" is an obvious parody of the Superman: Birthright storyline.
