Notes
- "Generations: Fractured" was supposed to be part of the cancelled "Generations" event which was to be published under the 5G Initiative.
- Although the ending states that the story continues in "Generations: Future State", it is actually continued in Generations Shattered #1.
- 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.
- The title is also a play on Detective Comics #26.
Trivia
- The Comics Elite Variant cover is a homage to Detective Comics #27.
