* ''ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily'' was possibly the first 'mainline' comic to acknowledge the events of ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'', noting the superhero community and especially Jason are furious with the Joker for what he did to Barbara. Later, the wheelchair-bound Barbara is seen attending Jason's funeral.

** Which is a brilliant GeniusBonus by Gaiman. The idea is that Superman only survived so he could feel the despair of being the last Kryptonian - but of course, Despair always fails.
** This story also features a character called Killalla of the Glow, who is implied to be one of the first aliens to master the energy later marshaled by the Green Lantern Corps.
*** Heck, she's as-good-as-stated to be one of the Guardians, before the female Oans [[OneGenderRace went their separate way]].
** It's never directly stated, but there are enough hints to figure out that Matthew the raven was [[spoiler:Matthew Cable]], from Creator/AlanMoore's series [[spoiler:''ComicBook/SwampThing'']], before he died. Gaiman owes a lot to Moore in getting his career started; there are several nods in Sandman to Moore's work in the DCU.
* Writers and artists often use scenes set in the Batcave's [[SuperheroTrophyShelf trophy room]] to give a Continuity Nod to previous ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' stories. Traditionally included are the giant penny from a 1947 fight with The Penny Plunderer, a T-Rex from a 1946 adventure on Dinosaur Island, and a memorial to Jason Todd, first seen in ''ComicBook/TheDarkKnightReturns''.
** Also, Batman once investigated murders at a movie set, where the movie being shot was a WWI flying action/drama. The misunderstood VillainProtagonist of said film was Hans von Hammer, in our world the main character of Creator/DCComics' ''ComicBook/EnemyAce'' series.
* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'':
** In ''ComicBook/SupergirlRebirth'' #1, Director Chase mentions that Supergirl's space pod's landing place was Siberia (which happened way back in ''[[ComicBook/{{Supergirl 2011}} Supergirl Vol 6]]'' #1).
** In ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} story ''ComicBook/YoungLove'' Pre-Crisis Supergirl remembers several moments of her childhood:
*** Arriving on Earth and meeting Superman (''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #252)
*** Dick Malverne taking a picture of Supergirl by chance (Action Comics #256)
*** Linda accompanying her parents on a beach-picnic (Action Comics #282)
*** Linda and Dick going skating (Action Comics #283)
*** Their reunion in ''[[ComicBook/{{Supergirl 1982}} Supergirl Vol 2]]'' #23 when they are in their twenties.
* Occurs regularly in ''ComicBook/AstroCity'', as befitting a series with a single writer. Most Continuity Nods appear as sidelong references to other characters and events in the chronological past/present, even if the subject hasn't had a published appearance yet.
** [[TheCape Samaritan]] briefly mutters "3.2" when he arrives to visit Steeljack in "The Tarnished Angel." This is a reference to Samaritan's DayInTheLife story, "In Dreams," where it's shown he keeps track of how many seconds he spends flying from one scene to another.
** In "Show 'Em All", as Jack-In-The-Box dodges The Junkman's aerosol bombs, he casually mentions having "recent experience" in dodging mid-air explosions. This refers to a single panel from the earlier "Confession" story arc, where Jack-In-The-Box eludes capture from a missile-firing helicopter.
** Also from "Confession", Brian begins his super-hero career by working as a busboy in Bruiser's Bar & Grill, run by retired [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] hero [[OldSuperhero The Black Badge]]. Both the Black Badge and Bruisers' play small but pivotal roles in the later "Dark Ages" story arc.
** Creator/KurtBusiek ''loves'' to put Continuity Nods in all of his works, helped by his encyclopedic knowledge of comic book history.
* During Creator/PaulCornell's ''ComicBook/TheBlackRing'' story arc in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'', one issue was about ComicBook/VandalSavage having a prophecy relating to ComicBook/LexLuthor. It featured two flashbacks to previous meetings between the two. One was from the relatively recent ''ComicBook/SalvationRun'', the other was from ''ComicBook/TheFlash'' #124, back in 1997.
* In Issue #2 of ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'', Red Hood gets an air hostess' number. They met in Batman #426, 20 years ago. She still remembers his drink order, although in modern continuity, they probably met 2-3 years ago. And he mentions 'A Death in the Family', although that is a ShoutOut. Her name is Isabel Ardila, by the way.
** In issue #6, it's revealed that Red Hood's costume is actually one of Nightwing's old costumes. Though in-universe information is lacking thanks to the recent reboot, it seems to be based on Nightwing's ''Renegade'' costume.
** The ''Night of the Owls'' tie-in nods to the revelation in ''Batman'' that[[spoiler: Haley's Circus (of which Nightwing was a performer) was a recruitment service for the Court of Owls. It may also be a reference to Red Hood's pre-''Crisis'' history as a circus performer.]]
** The ''Death of the Family'' tie-in has [[spoiler:the Joker forcing Jason to relive the circumstances of his death in the original ''A Death in the Family'' arc.]]
