* BookEnds:
** Jon's journey in the movie begins and ends with his Little League baseball game. At the start, he strikes out because he can't focus with Melvin's jeering and Clark's absence getting to him. At the end, his parents and his new BestFriend Damian are all there to support him, with Damian silencing Marvin with a paralyzing PressurePoint attack. This, combined with Jon's newfound confidence and superpowers, lets him easily bunt the ball far away enough to easily run around the bases.
** Similarly, at the start of the movie, Clark leaves Jon with [[IHaveToGoIronMyDog an awkward excuse]] to save the Watchtower from burning up in orbit. [[spoiler:At the end of the movie, Jon and Damian purposefully crash the Watchtower in an attempt to burn Starro up in atmospheric reentry. The boys are saved from an untimely doom by a newly freed Clark, who catches the bridge of the Watchtower just in time.]]

* CasualDangerDialogue: Jon and Damian have this kind of exchange along with ItsBeenAnHonor at the end of the movie when [[spoiler:they're willing to burn themselves to death along with Starro in atmospheric reentry if it means saving the world. Despite their impending doom, Jon and Damian are perfectly calm about the whole situation and even share a laugh and a fist bump.]]

* ChekhovsClassroom: Lois gives Jon advice on how to write his report for school at the beginning of the movie, telling him to "find your angle" and that "in most stories we already know the ending". Clark also returns home and tells Jon about a seemingly frivolous article he's writing about new discoveries involving the strange behavior of ants in relation to their HiveMind and queen. This information leads to Jon and Damian's EurekaMoment in deducing the origin of Starro's AlienInvasion and how to free the world from its influence.

But while Starro is badly burned from nesting near the bottom of the Watchtower, Jon and Damian aren't even sweating even as the rest of the infrastructure below them is lit ablaze.]]
* CurseCutShort: Since the movie rated PG-13, the more egregious curses tend to be cut short by something. For instance, the broadcast cuts out when Lois yells at Jon to "Burn this motherfu-". Similarly, when confronting the brainwashed Teen Titans aboard the Watchtower, Damian remarks, "We're in deep shi-" just as Martian Manhunter tears the bulkhead doors open.

* OutOfCharacterAlert: When Jon and Damian are first confronted by a brainwashed Lois, Damian insists she is even though Jon is skeptical. Damian tells Jon to test her to confirm his suspicions, leading to this exchange:
-->'''Jon:''' Hey, Mom. Can I go play video games and break into that tub of ice cream you've been trying to hide in the freezer?\\
'''Lois:''' ''[in CreepyMonotone]'' That sounds like a marvelous idea. Now come and give me a hug.\\

She insists the lighter is just in there as a reminder since she quit smoking, but soon whips the can and lighter out to burn Starro when it reveals it has already possessed Lex. She then tells Jon that [[KillItWithFire Starro is weak to intense heat]] and to [[CurseCutShort burn this motherfu-]] before the broadcast cuts out.

* BrokenAesop: Jonathan's principal tells him that he should be patient with his bully Melvin because he has problems, and that if he took the time they could become friends. While this naturally foreshadows his relationship with Damian, the film treats Melvim as a ButtMonkey without giving him redeeming qualities. The message also falls apart because Damian genuinely wants to have friends meaning there's layers underneath his arrogance and rudeness, while Melvim simply likes to pick on Jonathan while never expressing any remorse. This is despite this apparently being the main theme the creators of the film were going for.

* KillItWithFire: Starro is vulnerable to intense heat, meaning that Jon's HeatVision and other repeated sources of fire and heat can be used to injure it. [[spoiler:The finale reveals that the main Starro is far less vulnerable than its spores, meaning that heat vision will only bother it rather than seriously hurt it. This convinces Jon and Damian to plunge the Watchtower into the atmosphere in hopes that the heat of atmospheric reentry would kill Starro. But Starro only goes down for good when Clark tosses it at Jon to bat it back into the upper atmosphere, the resulting atmospheric friction finally burning it to ashes.]]

* AdaptationalOriginConnection: It's implied that the Starro spore that latched onto baby Kal-El's ship at the start of the film was the main Starro controlling the rest by the present, meaning that sending Kal-El to Earth saved Starro from being killed on Krypton.
* AscendedFanboy: Jonathan was already a fan of superheroes, especially Superman and Batman, so he couldn't be happier to learn that he's half-alien and that he has powers.
* CharacterDevelopment: Jonathan starts the film as an AscendedFanboy who can't wait to become a superhero, but during the invasion starts to realise the dangers involved and by the end understands what Clark meant by how being a hero requires sacrifice. Damian also changes from being incredibly arrogant and mean to Jonathan to becoming a better team player, even agreeing at the end that he and Jonathan should keep working together as the Super Sons.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Subverted as several characters are referred to by their codenames. However Jonathan isn't called Superboy since he notes that it's taken, likely referencing Conner Kent.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: While he doesn't show it, Damian really wanted to be part of the Teen Titans and was hurt when Wonder Girl explains how they voted to not make him an official member. After she tells him how he's not a team player and doesn't care about anyone, he spends some time moping and talking about how he would form his own team to assault Titans Tower to prove how well they would work together.
* SociopathicHero: As usual, Damian has a very warped view on right and wrong due to the training Talia and Ra's gave him. He pushed Jonathan off a cliff to test his powers while bragging how he's killed people, temporarily paralyzes Jonathan's bully through a pressure point twice, tells Jonathan to kill a mind-controlled Lois, and mentions that he will kill Batman if he has to. However he's still a hero who's prepared to [[spoiler:sacrifice himself at the end of the film to kill Starro]] and genuinely wants friends, and while still finding it funny to push Jonathan off the Smallville water tower Damian does come to care about him.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Damian and Jonathan grow into this overtime, despite at first hating each other.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Jonathan is upset about how often Clark has to leave and how he misses his baseball games, but once he learns he's Superman he's overjoyed and forgives him.
* WouldntHitAGirl: During the battle against the mind-controlled heroes, Jonathan at first apologizes when he hits Wonder Girl. Then he realizes that she is trying to kill him and that he should be fighting back.
* AdaptationalOriginConnection: It's implied that the Starro spore that latched onto baby Kal-El's ship at the start of the film was the main Starro controlling the rest by the present, meaning that sending Kal-El to Earth saved Starro from being killed on Krypton.
* AscendedFanboy: Jonathan was already a fan of superheroes, especially Superman and Batman, so he couldn't be happier to learn that he's half-alien and that he has powers.
* CharacterDevelopment: Jonathan starts the film as an AscendedFanboy who can't wait to become a superhero, but during the invasion starts to realise the dangers involved and by the end understands what Clark meant by how being a hero requires sacrifice. Damian also changes from being incredibly arrogant and mean to Jonathan to becoming a better team player, even agreeing at the end that he and Jonathan should keep working together as the Super Sons.
