(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 Dan Jurgens, Joe Rubenstein, Patrick Martin, and Todd Klein.

Events In The History And Of The Life Of Elvis Presley Today On The 10th Of November In 1971.

Elvis Presley Boston Gardens November 10th, In 1971 (8.30 pm) | Boston, MA.

Concert Date: November 10, 1971 (8.30 pm). Boston, MA. Boston Gardens

Concert Reviw From Rolling Stone : In Praise of Elvis Presley : By Jon Landau

He stands there in a black jump suit with gold spangles and an orange cape. When he stretches out his hands the cape forms a half sun under his outstretched arms and he looks like the true legend of rock 'n' roll. He parades in front of 15,000 people and waits for the applause to wash over him and it comes as it always does and as he knows it will. After strutting from one end of the stage to the other after waiting until he feels just right, and until the audience can't wait another second, he turns to a back-up musican who hands him his acoustic guitar. With the rhythm section churning, he stands in front of the mike, holds but does not play the guitar and sings, 'That's alright mama, that's alright for you, just any way you do'. It was his very first record and it doesn't sound quite the same as when he did it 17 years ago at the Sun studios in Memphis. But I am moved by the fact that he is doing it at all. Following a first half consisting of a wonderful performance by the Sweet Inspirations, a typically tasteless (but well received) attempt at humor on the part of a Las Vegas comedian, and an intermission, the offical Elvis Presley Tour MC called people back to their seats. rare b/w live candid photo's of Elvis Presley by Jon landau and fans audience members and a fans review of this awesome! show concert with the ticket as well.

Mike and Christian met when they were 16, working in the same music shop. Both are bisexual and life partners. They dont believe personally in marriage, and the person they decided to spend there life with happened to be a man.

A gorgeous pin-up of Infinity Inc's stalwart leader!

And that should give me plenty of time to get rid of this star-spangled frisbee of yours.

This is what that flamboyant showman Mike Todd calls “an intimate affair for a few chums.” What it really is is Madison Square Garden decked out in spangles and balloons for a spectacular salute to the first anniversary of his prize-winning motion picture Around the World in 80 Days. Todd invited 18,000 people to the gala affair on October 17, 1957.

Courtney Whitmore, The Star-Spangled Kid, more popularly known as Stargirl

Born to Barbara Whitmore and Samuel Kurtis, Court and her mother moved to Blue Valley, Nebraska shortly after Barb's second marriage to Patrick Dugan, formerly the adult sidekick "Stripsey" to the original Star-Spangled Kid, Sylvester "Sly" Pemberton. After parting ways, Pat used the money he had earned from the Pemberton Estate--both in his capacity as Sly's "chauffeur" and later his engineering work and technical advisement for Infinity Inc.--to build the mechanized battlesuit "STRIPE" (Special Tactics Robotic Integrated Power Enhancer), inspired by his son Mike's interest in giant robot toys and cartoons. Sly himself had moved on to the name "Skyman" as the number of active Starmen only continued to increase, though Sly's superhero career would be tragically cut short by the machinations of the Thorul Society...

With Barb pregnant and his old partner dead, Pat hoped to quietly retire from heroism in Blue Valley, focusing on life as a mechanic.

Courtney had other ideas.

Sharing her father's belief in "Stellarization" or the ability of individuals to draw power from star formations (first conceptualized by Stephen "The Gambler" Sharpe, then popularized by Sharpe's protege infamous cult leader Amos Fortune, founder of the Royal Flush Syndicate) with her step-brother Mike, the new siblings sought out any of Sly's effects that had recently come into Pat's possession. They lucked out with an old Knight-Tech Cosmic Staff--an incredibly old design, seemingly predating even the Cosmic Rod used by Theodore Knight during his time as the Golden Age Starman--which failed to respond at all to Mike...but took a keen interest in Court, coming alive at her touch.

While the staff itself was obviously a technological marvel, Court was surprised to find her own body becoming stronger and faster, channeling the cosmic power of the stars. Little did she or Mike know, awakening the staff had set off a chain of events that would quickly force them into the center of an almost century-long struggle between Justice and Injustice...

The starman legacy is gigantic.

I always knew that the starman legacy was big but never really sat down to just count it you know? So today I did and holy shit it's fucking infinite, like it's not just a bunch of dudes going by starman and associates.

It's more like starman + phantom lady + star-spangled kid + girl of 1000 gimmicks/gimmic girl/gimmix?? + Manhuter + martian manhunter + brainwave + mist.

Here's the list of superheroes and btw this is by legacy and not family ties:

1) Ted knight - starman I

2) Sylvester Pemberton - star-spangled kid I, skyman I

3) Sandra Knight - phantom lady I

4) Dan Richards - manhunter I

5) Paul Kirk - manhuter II

6) Roh Kar - martian manhunter I

7) Arnold Munro - iron Munro I, gladiator one

8) Pat Dugan - Stripesy I , S.T.R.I.P.E I

9) Merry Pemberton - girl of 1000 gimmicks I

10) Doris Lee - starman II

11) The starman of 1951 - starman III

12) Mikaal Tomas - starman IV

13) Prince Gavyn - starman V

14) Henry King Jr - brainwave jr, brainwave II

15) Mark Shaw - manhuter III

16) Will Payton - starman VI

17) David knight - starman VII

18) Dee Tyler - phantom lady II

19) Jack Knight - starman VIII

20) Chase Lawer - manhunter VI

21) J'onn j'onzz - martian manhunter II

22) Courtney Whitemore - star-spangled kid II, star girl I, starwoman I (IX)

23) Stormy Knight - Phantom lady III

24) Jacqueline Pemberton - Gimmic girl, gimmix

25) Jennifer knight - phantom lady IV

26) Kirk DePaul - manhuter V

27) Kate Spencer - manhuter VI

28) M'gann M'orzz - miss martian, martian manhunter III

29) Jacob Colby - skyman II

30) Mike Dugan - Stripesy II, S.T.R.I.P.E II

31) Sophia Becker - Phantom lady V

32) Patricia Dugan - starwoman II (X)

33) Ramsey Robinson - manhuter VII

34) Kyle knight - mist III

35) Thom Kallor - Starboy - starman XI

36) Farris Knight - starman XII

12 starmans, 7 manhunters, 5 phantom ladies, 3 martian manhunters, 2 gimmic girls, 2 S.T.R.I.P.ES, 2 skymans, 2 star-spangled kids, 1 brainwave, 1 iron Munro and 1 mist.

I say only superheroes because a lot of these people have supervillain relatives, it's also interesting to note that this the oldest super powered lineage in DC because Ramsey Robinson is the great-great-grandson of Hugo Munro the protagonist of the 1930 novel called Gladiator (one of the inspirations for superman) by Philip Wylie.
