Trivia

 * With his first comic appearing in 1938, chronologically-speaking, Superman is the oldest Death Battle combatant with Batman the second-oldest.
 * Superman was the first DC Comics character with a non-Marvel comics opponent. The second was The Joker.
 * Even if the pre-Crisis canon is ignored, Superman is possibly the fastest and most indestructible character yet. It is confirmed that he can fly several times faster than light speed and has survived a supernova blast. He is also one of the strongest characters, on par with the nearly unlimited strength of He-Man and Thor (who in their universes share the title of Strongest Man). Superman was able to singe-handedly move the planet Earth. However Superman's limits fluctuate constantly due to how the authors want Superman to be depicted as and because Superman's power is determined by his exposure to sunlight.
 * Pre-Crisis Superman has been depicted as flying so fast that he can timetravel or distort the entire universe, and strong enough to effortlessly move an entire solar system using only a chain.
 * Post-Crisis Superman is no longer the fastest combatant on Death Battle. That title now belongs to The Flash, who has been proven to be faster.
 * Post-Crisis Superman is also no longer the most resilient combatant on Death Battle. That title now belongs to Doomsday, who's ability to adapt to his opponents' powers and abilities theoretically makes him indestructible to anything thrown at him, and not even Superman is strong enough to kill him twice in a row.
 * His opponent, Goku, shares some similarities with Superman in their origin stories (i.e., Superman and Goku sent to Earth from their planets' destruction). Main difference is Goku's mission was to conquer the planet and Superman's mission to save lives, and the core of their character in their respected series (Goku fights to defeat himself while Superman fights for others).
 * Superman has the highest number of kills out of all of the Death Battle combatants, killing not only his opponent, but everyone on Earth.
 * Which at the Original airing, Earth had a population of just over 7 Billion (And that's only human life.)
 * Superman's character model was taken from Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe in the first match, and later from Injustice: Gods Among Us as the New 52 version for the rematch.
 * Both Ben Singer and Chad James revealed on Death Battle Live that they dislike Superman and prefers Goku as a character but had to put their bias aside to determine the winner.
 * Superman is so far the only Death Battle combatant to defeat the same opponent twice.
 * Superman's voice actor, ItsJustSomeRandomGuy, voices the character on his YouTube series, Hi I'm a Marvel and I'm a DC. He also promoted the fight with videos made in his style to commemorate the occasion.
 * Superman is also the ninth Death Battle Combatant to be featured on The Desk of Death Battle hosted by Jocelyn the Intern herself.
 * In addition, Superman is the third Death Battle Combatant to be featured on The Desk of Death Battle more then once, the last two being Spider-Man and Batman.
 * Post-Crisis Superman has a more in depth explanation then Pre-Crisis to his powers.
