Comment:
Various reminiscences are seen in this story, but they all refer either to generic moments or previously published stories, and have therefore not been noted.
Synopsis:
Gordon Selkirk, Clark's college roommate, drops in on Clark's parents on a cross-country trip to find out more about how Clark came to be the person he is. Later, Clark/Superman realises this was actually Batman, who explains that he wanted to meet his parents to find out how he was raised. The two of them sit down for a proper conversation, something they've not had for a long time.
