* [[Commander Steel]] saves [[Shayera]] by picking up a [[Parademon]]'s shield and throwing it spinning through the air, in a nod to Marvel Comics' [[w:c:marvel:Captain America|Captain America]], whom he resembles. Before this, [[Shayera]]'s wing is impaled by a Parademon's spear, resembling how [[w:c:marvel:Angel|Angel]] (another Marvel hero) had his wings originally crippled.

* Each major invasion of Earth that has taken place throughout the series has a similar goal of building a weapon that can destroy the planet. For example, Darkseid's goal of creating "Apocalypse on Earth" using drills refers back to the very first episode, "[[Secret Origins]]", where the Imperium's goal is creating darkness on Earth using drills of their own. Another reference is when the Thanagarians try to destroy the Earth by using a hyperspace bypass. Every attempt, of course, failed thanks to the Justice League.

* Batman evades Darkseid's Omega Beams until they hit a Parademon, prompting him to state that no one had ever avoided the Omega Beams; in the ''Final Crisis'' story arc of the comics, Batman is seemingly killed by Darkseid's very Omega Beams. Also, minutes after, the Flashes (Barry Allen and Wally West) manage to outrun both the Omega Beams ''and'' the [[Black Racer]] by vibrating through Dan Turpin's body, thus making the beams hit him and expel Darkseid's essence from the body.
