Superman: The Animated Series: Difference between revisions

* [[Arms Dealer]]: Luthor apparently has numerous sources of income, since he claims to employ two-thirds of Metropolis whether they know it or not, but the only one that gets any screentime is his weapons manufacturing.

* [[A-Team Firing]]: Averted throughout most of the series, except for the crossover "World's Finest," which brought Batman and the Joker to Metropolis and seemed to be trying to make up for not using the trope before. When the Joker kidnaps Lois his [[Mooks|henchmen]] shoot at Bruce Wayne and, though they initially appear to be firing at his feet in a deliberate attempt to force him to fall off the roof, by the the time he actually falls they are firing dozens of shots at him from five feet away, [[Knife Outline|outlining his entire body]], without hitting him even once. When he finally does fall off the roof he lands on a scaffold and the criminals continue to shoot at him, firing so many bulets ''they knock the scaffold off the building and actually demolish the wooden floor he is standing on'', still without hitting Bruce.

* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: It might not have reached the point of actual "love" just yet, but Lois's teary-eyed confession to Superman about her feelings towards his alter-ego Clark Kent (whom at the time was believed to be dead) in the episode "The Late Mr. Kent" reveals that she is starting to think about him as more than just competition from a small town in Kansas.

** [[Word of God]] said they wrote Lois as being attracted to Clark [[He Is Not My Boyfriend|but in denial.]]

* [[Hometown Nickname]]: Lois calls Clark "Smallville".

* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Parasite figures out his ability to drain energy rather quickly, but was confused when he began to lose what he had gained after a few hours. It took him a while to recognize the time limit and need to re-drain people.

* [[Human Aliens]]: Kryptonians, of course, as well as the [[New Gods]] (Apart from the Parademons and a few of the ruling class).

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Superman's first battle is against the Lexo-Suit 5000, a combat machine which, at this point, is regarded as the most powerful weapon on the planet.
