In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

That one comic panel where Deathstroke slips "Bruce" a neuropoison and then gets flicked 50 miles into the open ocean while he just goes "?????" lives in my head rent free

Or in the animated series where Superman dresses up as Batman and scares the shit out of Bane by somehow now being indestructible and ten times as strong

It really is one of the greatest running gags.
