Line 35:
** Even after he saves Metropolis from Tyrell, most of the citizens seem to [[Beware the Superman|openly distrust him]]--for all his heroism, he's still considered a freakish outsider by most.
* [[Disturbed Doves]]: Several of them in the book. [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]?
* [[Easily -Thwarted Alien Invasion]]: The climax hinges on one of these.
* [[Expy]]: This version of Clark Kent comes across as [[Spider Man (Comic Book)|Peter Parker]] dressed up as Superman.
* [[Fight Off the Kryptonite]]: Done to Clark with red sun radiation. Leads to a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.
Line 45:
* [[Heroic Bystander]]: Jim Olsen. Ace photographer.
* [[Human Aliens]]: Tyrell's race all look like a cross between David Bowie and Lobo.
* [[ItsIt's All About Me]]: We get it Clark. You have a lot of options, just pick something to do and stop complaining.
* [[Kryptonite Is Everywhere]]: Surprisingly averted.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Clark's reaction to having a genocidal alien take his adoptive home hostage.]]
Line 54:
** Sort-of. Obviously it would be difficult for any of his enemies to utilize this weakness.
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Leads right into a [[No Holds Barred Beatdown]].
* [[Ripped Fromfrom the Headlines]]: The Daily Planet's depiction is heavily rooted in the current state of the newspaper industry. At the beginning, Perry White openly complains about the blogosphere ruining the integrity and quality of the news, and makes it clear that the paper may soon go out of business. In the end, getting exclusive coverage of Superman's battle with Tyrell is the one thing that saves the Planet from completely folding.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Just ''who'' proposed the destruction of Krypton to Tyrell's people, and they did is never explained.
* [[Shout Out]]: In addition to looking like [[David Bowie]], Tyrell may be a subtle one to ''[[Blade Runner]]''--he's named after the [[Mad Scientist]] from that film, he has white hair like Roy Batty, and the marks on his face match the pattern of Pris' makeup.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Clark delivers one of these to the villain out of sheer boredom with his speech.
* [[Super Intelligence]]: [[Superman]] has it in this version.
* [[Teach Him Anger]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|Good going there, Tyrell.]]
