* BatmanParody: The episode ends with a parody of Franchise/{{Batman}}'s DeathByOriginStory. Daffy and Tina leave a movie theater playing ''Film/TheMarkOfZorro'', with the two of them wearing the same kind of clothes Thomas and Martha Wayne are usually wearing in most continuities (and Tina even having a pearl necklace). Daffy suggests they go home by "going down this dark and desolated alley". They come across a mugger who steals Tina's necklace. In a twist, he's stopped by what appears to be Batman, who is then revealed to be Bugs as "Bat-Rabbit", the latter even saying "I'm Bat-Rabbit." in a gravelly voice similar to Creator/ChristianBale's [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy Batman voice]].

Added DiffLines:

* BigWordShout: Played for laughs when a defeated Super Rabbit gets back to the fortress.
-->'''Super Rabbit:''' FATHER!\\
'''Jor-El:''' ''[appearing]'' I'm here, Son. Why are you shouting?


Added DiffLines:

* ComesGreatResponsibility: Rather than a symbol of hope, Super Rabbit acts boastful and arrogant, all while failing to take stock that villains only attack Metropolis to pick a fight with him. After losing to Zod's crew, Super Rabbit is called out by his father on his behavior and takes stock of things. Once Zod is defeated, Super Rabbit gives up his powers on the grounds that he didn't have the humility to properly use them. Incidentally, that's what convinces Daffy that the whole story was a lie, as he just can't believe anyone would give up such power.


Added DiffLines:

* GuileHero: Jor-El points out that Super Rabbit can't beat three super-powered beings in a standard fight and advises uses wits to outsmart his opponents. Super Rabbit ends up playing to Faora and Thumpinator's grievances so that he can face Zod one-on-one. He continues using tactics and trickery against Zod rather than relying on brute force.


Added DiffLines:

* ALessonInDefeat: Jor-El feels that Super Rabbit deserved to lose, due to his arrogance and showboating.


Added DiffLines:

* ThatsAllFolks: Bugs reuses his tag from the classic shorts by simply saying, "And dat's de end!"
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Zod right before his very large statue falls on him.
* TooDumbToLive: As part of the BatmanParody, Daffy suggests heading into "a dark and desolate alley" in order to save two measly seconds. He and Tina get mugged almost immediately.


Added DiffLines:

* WomenAreWiser: Faora consistently proves to be the cooler head, such as when advocating simply outright killing the only being capable of challenging them.
* YouExclamation: Zod to Super Rabbit ahead of their rematch.

When Daffy finds a carrot-shaped, diamond-like pbject among Bugs' things, Bugs tells him his past: His true name is Kal-El AKA Super Rabbit, and comes from the planet Crypton ("Crypton with a C, not a K"). He narrates to Daffy how he stopped his superhero career after fighting General Zod (portrayed by Daffy).

Added DiffLines:

* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Super Rabbit rips a suit of powered armour off Lex Luthor to reveal that Lex is wearing boxers with the Superman symbol on them.
* InterspeciesRomance: Zod and Faora. He's a duck and she's human... er, ''Cryptonian''.
* KangarooCourt: The tribunal sitting in judgement on Zod, Faora, and Thumpinator pronounce them guilty before Jor-El has finished his opening statement. Jor-El, who is prosecuting, expresses his exasperation that they keep doing this.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Super Rabbit balls up Lex Luthor's power suit and bats it into outer space. Lex points out that he has just sent an unstable nuclear power source into orbit. Sure enough, the suit explodes, freeing Zod and the others from the Phantom Zone.


Added DiffLines:

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Krypton" is spelled with a C instead of a K, thus "Crypton".


Added DiffLines:

* WhatTheHellHero: Jor-El calls out Super Rabbit for this; pointing out that most of his current problems he has brought on himself because of his arrogance.


Added DiffLines:

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Faora asks Zod why they have to make Kal-El kneel before them. Why not just dispose of him and take over the Earth?
