Note: With this issue, Editora Cinco in Colombia increases the price of its books from $100.00 to $120.00. This is the fourth and final increase overall, before the series is cancelled due to the outrageous price and low sales.  The first two price hikes had been for $10 each; the third increase was $40, and the final one was $20, making the cost of a single comic inaccessible to the regular public.

Note: This is the final issue of the series that focuses on Superman. The villain featured in the story is Chemo, which was also the villain in the first issue of the title, three years prior. Superman makes a cameo in issue #77, and a guest appearance in issue #78. The Man of Steel does not appear in the final issue of his own title, #80.

Note: This is the last "original" story  printed by Editora Cinco in Colombia for the "Batman" title. All the subsequent issues are reprints of previous issues from the same series, starting with issue #54, which is a reprint of issue #1, and so on. To an extent, this could be considered the final issue of the series, as the remaining nine issues are all reprints.
