Notes
- Batman and Superman discovering the existence of the Sixth Dimension much earlier in their lifetimes should be a continuity error as it only happened during the The Sixth Dimension saga.
- This implies that either their memory is wiped out at the ending of the storyline or this is reality change due to the rebirth of the Multiverse.
- Superman described the first three dimensions as dealing with geometry and shape, while the next three dimensions deal with time. The Fifth Dimension is where time has the energy to create infinite possibilities and the Sixth Dimension is where all time exists at once. However, this does not fit with The Sixth Dimension saga which depicted the Fifth Dimension and the Sixth Dimension as realms outside of time.
- While in the Second Dimension, Batman and Superman heavily resemble their Super Friends counterparts from Earth 1956.
- This story also introduces Bat-Mite's Super Friends counterpart which never appeared in the original series.
Trivia
- The Olsen Squad members are obviously references to the many Jimmy Olsen transformations from the Pre-Crisis continuity, including:
- Elastic Lad from Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #31;
- Human Flame Thrower from Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #33;
- Human Octopus from Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #41;
- Wolf-Man from Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #44;
- Giant Turtle Man from Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #53;
- Human Porcupine from Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #65;
- Flamebird from Superman #158.
- The Second Dimension is more commonly known as The In-Between.[1]
- The octopus-like creature in the Sixth Dimension also resemble the same creature from The Flash (Volume 6).
- The gauntlet that Mxyzptlk conjurs to hit the Imps is a homage to Marvel's Infinity Gauntlet.
- The first Bat-Mite panels, where he is on a Zrfff roafs and, as a lightning falls behind him, states "I am the Night", are homages to the iconic Batman scene from the Batman animated series.
- This scene was similarly referenced for the first time in Wonder Woman #778.
- One of Metropolis streets is named after the DC artist, Tamra Bonvillain.
