Trivia
- Although Spider-Man and Superman had "met" in previous crossovers, they were (and are) out-of-continuity stories. The events of Avengers/JLA are thought to be in continuity, as the Krona egg created at the end of the event was shown in a subsequent JLA adventure. Of course, characters from neither company can be shown thinking too clearly about the crossovers, as it would likely be a copyright violation.
