(SPOILERS if you haven't seen the show yet):

Lois Lane has a cut out clip of Vicki Vale. Vicki Vale is a journalist in Gotham City. Her first appearance was in Batman #49 (1948) as seen in the panel here (W: Bill Finger, A: Lew Sayre and Bob Kane, I: Charles Paris, L: Ira Schnapp).

Looks like Jimmy is a fan of Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Good video game taste.

Jimmy mentions a psychic starfish and the one starfish in the DC universe who is psychic is Starro the Conqueror, who's first appearance is in Brave and the Bold 28 (1960) (the cover art here is done by Mike Sekowsky, Murphy Anderson, and Ira Schnapp) and has the power to mind control people.

Lois, after barging into Perry White's office about a story, mentions Mt. Simonson. This is a neat name drop to Superman: The Man of Steel writer Louise Simonson, one of the nicest comic book writers you'll ever meet. She helped co-create John Henry Irons a.k.a Steel with artist of the Superman: The Man of Steel comic, Jon Bogdanove (really hope we get to see Irons in this show too).

Jon Bogdanove also gets a name drop here as does...

Dan Jurgen, comic book writer and artist on the Superman comic in the 90s (also one of my favorite Superman artists).

Now who are these kids that call themselves the Newskid Legion? Well, they are a VERY deep DC cut and reference to the Newsboy Legion back in the 1940s. The group was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, LEGENDARY comic book creators.

The page here is from Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #16 (1986) with the art by Jack Kirby and Karl Kesel. Most of the Newskid Legion is named after the Newsboy Legion members

Gabby and Big Words here share names with their Newsboy Legion counterparts as does Flip Johnson...

who shares names with Walter "Flip" Johnson here on the cover of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olson #137 (1971) which was done by Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, and Gaspar Saladino.

Patty, the cartoonist of the Newskid Legion homages this panel from Adventures of Superman #500 (1993) (W: Karl Kesel, P: Tom Grummet, I: Doug Hazelwood, C: Glenn Whitmore, L: Albert DeGuzman), the first appearance of Superboy, Conner Kent/ Kon-El.

But who is the one below that drawing? We'll his name is in Big Word's word puzzle, in the show. It's Jim Harper, the Guardian.

Jim Harper becomes the Newsboy Legion's legal guardian despite their causing trouble for him. The page here is from Star Spangled Comics #7, the Newsboy Legion and the Guardian's first appearance, by Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, and Whitney Ellsworth. You might've seen the Guardian on the recent Young Justice cartoon.

When Lois, Clark, and Jimmy go investigate about the smuggled robots in Metropolis, Jimmy makes a reference to super intelligent gorillas in France. This is a subtle hint at Monsieur Mallah, the Doom Patrol villain who will be in the show along with his partner, the Brain. Both made their first appearance in Doom Patrol #86 (1964) .

The cover art here is done by Arnold Drake, Bob Brown, and Ira Schnapp.

Later in the episode we see Clark receive his powers and he is surrounded with electricity, giving off Superman Blue vibes when in the comics, Superman gained electricity powers and became Electric Blue Superman who's first appearance was in Superman #123 (1997) (cover art by Ron Frenz, Joe Rubenstein, Patrick Martin, and Todd Klein.

The Adventures of Superman (1987) #501

Watch how fast Kon would have had immediate, blatant, minor-status if Cadmus really did put the order for him to return. Kon would have had an ID stating 15 years old, a legal guardian, a curfew, the whole shebang.

There would have been no nebulous gray area due to 'being a clone', Kon would have had someone claim 'he's a minor and he's a runaway' probably instantly and it would have changed his entire narrative probably. That or they would have pulled a 'well he's a clone he's technically property so y'know, he needs to stay here and what are ya gonna do about it?'

They actually wanted to recall him but didn't because he was too public of a figure already. I wonder sometimes how his story might have gone had he NOT sensationalized himself all within a day of being alive. How fast he might have been targeted for recall by Cadmus, if they would have enlisted the help of other heroes to try and fetch him. It's an interesting thought to play with that I am ping-ponging in my head.

If My Adventures With Superman does introduce any other superheroes, I think it would be cool if they used other heroes who reside in Metropolis rather then just jumping to Batman. Most adoptions of Superman tend to showcase Superman as the lone defender of Metropolis when that isn't the case at all since it's the home of several other heroes such as Steel, Black Lightning, Guardian, Gangbuster, and more.

actually hilarious that bruce's whole thing with superman is he's spent all these years hoarding kryptonite and obsessively making all these 900 point plans for how to take him out because obviously no human could go up against him in a fight, and then you go read superman comics and every single super-person is getting their shit rocked by guardian (also just some guy with 0 powers) on a semi-regular basis no convoluted plots, kryptonite, or body armor necessary
