- John Byrne was possibly contacted by DC but chose to not participate.

- José Luis García-López came out of retirement for this issue.

- Each page in the "Never-Ending Battle" story is an homage of a different piece of Superman's history:

The first page shows Superman in his first ever costume, from Action Comics #1.

The second page shows the first evolution of Superman's symbol. This change took place in Action Comics #7.

The third page gives Superman's shield a black background first seen during the 1940's.

The fourth page is a direct reference to "The Midget Menace", a story from Superman #102.

The fifth page is a reference to the 1951 Superman and the Mole Men film starring George Reeves.

The sixth page shows Superman being burned by a dragon in order to save Lois Lane. This page looks almost identical to the cover of Superman #142 from 1961.

The seventh page has Superman fighting other Supermen. This is a callback to Action Comics #418 from 1972.

The eighth page shows Superman being struck by lightning. This is a direct reference to when the same thing happens in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.

The ninth page shows Superman fighting Silver Banshee, who first appeared in Action Comics #595.

The tenth page shows Superman, Superboy and John Henry Irons fighting Mongul in the "Return of Superman" storyline.

The eleventh page shows Superman imprisoned in the Phantom Zone by Jax-Ur and Mala. This happened in the two part "Blasts from the Past" episode from Superman: The Animated Series.

The twelfth page is a direct reference to the Kingdom Come comic.

The thirteenth page shows four different incarnations Superman has gone through since the entire DC Universe was rebooted in "Flashpoint".
