Line 4:
* [[Awesome Music]]: Yes, the game sucked, but the music is actually kind of catchy.
** The ending music was pretty good, fitting the [[Shaggy Dog Story|tone]] well.
* [[Badass Decay]]: Even in a virtual world, the decay of [[Darkseid]] is inexcusable as stated above. This is made even worse by the fact that this game is based on ''[[Superman: theThe Animated Series]]'', in which Darkseid nearly killed Superman each time they fought, set in the [[DCAU]]. And Darkseid is, without a doubt, the most evil and powerful villain in the entire DC Animated Universe.
* [[Bile Fascination]]: Its reputation is so bad so that it has to be seen to be believed.
* [[First Installment Wins|First Level Wins]]: The rings are so iconic, and so difficult to traverse, that most playthroughs and reviews of the game don't actually go beyond the first level; many people aren't aware that there is more to the game than just flying through rings -... not to mention how what comes after the rings is arguably ''worse''. [[Proton Jon]], the person who has arguably done the most to challenge this assumption, has said that this was part of the reason he wanted to do a [[Let's Play]] in the first place.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Pass through the rings!
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: If this game had been released after "Legacy", Professor Hamilton probably wouldn't have been included as one of Superman's "friends" that he has to rescue.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]:
** "There's no time to waste!"
* [[Memetic Mutation]]:* Pass through the rings!
** "If you want to save your friends, solve my maze!"
** ''Lex Wins.'' '''*evil laugh*'''
* [[Mis BlamedMisblamed]]: Believe it or not, Titus, at least as far as complete and total blame is concerned. Sure, they made the game, but [[Warner Brothers]] and DC made it extremely difficult to make anything decent. This is backed up by an interview with one of the Caen brothers, done by [[Proton Jon]] in his LP of the game.
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: Lex Luthor's [[Evil Laugh]] upon failing objectives will happen ''a lot'' due to how horrendously unstable the game is.
* [[Never Live It Down]]: Whether deserved or not, this game has become the green, foggy face of [[Titus Software|Titus]]. It has also cursed Superman with a reputation of having [[The Problem with Licensed Games]].
* [[The Problem Withwith Licensed Games]]: Is noted to be one of the worst games of all time, due to a rushed schedule and [[Executive Meddling]] from [[Warner Brothers]] and DC.
 
* [[Signature Scene]]: The infamous first level where you fly through rings. There's actually much more to the game, but this is the part that ''everyone'' knows.
* [[So Bad It's Good|So Bad, It's Good]]: Depending on how you look at it. In particular, [[Proton Jon]] notes that it can be fun to try and discover as many glitches as you can.
* [[That One Level]]: The first level, of course.
* [[That One Puzzle]]: The final level of the game has a puzzle where you travel through portals aboard Brainiac's ship. A number in the middle of the screen changes whenever you go through a portal. The puzzle ends when the number equals 2000. Sound like a simple puzzle? It is... except this portion of the level is heavily glitched so that ''you die at complete random''.
** Using a Gameshark to give yourself infinite health isn't even enough to get around this glitch.
