Notes

• "Generations: Fractured" was supposed to be part of the cancelled "Generations" event, which was to be published under the 5G initiative. The story is continued in Generations Shattered #1, although the ending states it continues in "Generations: Future State". This story is also reprinted in DC Comics: Generations.
• "A Gift" is part of "The Joker War" event.
• The design of the Teen Titans in "Many Happy Returns" was based on the animated Teen Titans TV series.
• The story "Detective #26" is named to evoke the feeling of being a prequel to Detective Comics #27, which contained the first comic appearance of Batman.

Trivia

• The Comics Elite Variant cover is a homage to Detective Comics #27.
