• This issue is reprinted in DC Comics: Generations.

Trivia

• The main cover contains many homages, including:
  • Batman's iconic jump from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #1;
  • Superman crying over Supergirl's dead body from Crisis on Infinite Earths #7;
  • Superman's destroyed cape from Superman (Volume 2) #75.
  • Bane breaking Batman's back in Batman #497;
