History WesternAnimation / SupermanManOfTomorrow

** When the launched rocket begins to fail, Ron Troupe says, "Look! Up in the sky!"

** In her RousingSpeech, Lois says that journalists like her and Clark fight for truth and justice in their own ways. Superman is known to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.
** Lex Luthor notes that Superman is as strong as a locomotive. Superman admits he's stronger. "More powerful than a locomotive."

-> ''"My name is Kal-El of Krypton and I come in peace."''

* LastOfHisKind: Clark is the last Kryptonian since their planet died. J'onn is also the last of the Martians. [[spoiler:{{Subverted}} at the end. Lobo claims that the "last of their race" thing is usually a bluff made by bounty hunters to get more money. He's admitted to seeing more Martians in the universe and would personally bet that there are more Kryptonians as well.]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: This film really leans into the immigration aspect of Superman more than previous version, creating comparisons to real life racism and xenophobia. Clark, while not being born on Earth, can pass for human and outwardly resembles a white man. J'onn's natural alien form forces him to shape shift to hide better, and since he wasn't raised on Earth this brings to mind immigrants who feel the need to hide their culture to fit in. Parasite meanwhile is human and a war vet, but to the rest of the world he looks like an alien invader and they treat him with hostility with Clark even telling the scared crowd that Parasite was born here (in America) and is just like them. This resembles situations where people experience racism and are accused of being immigrants for how they look despite being born in America.

* RealityEnsues:
** As Lois only just started at the Daily Planet straight out of grad school, when Perry rewards her with a top reporter position, she finds herself unwelcome and regarded as a gatecrashing glory-hound by all the veteran reporters and staff.
** Being new to Metropolis and just starting out interning at the Daily Planet, Clark's apartment is only a rather cramped studio.
** Superman plans to have Luthor shoot him into space to regain his powers, only for Luthor to point out that Superman has no training in space travel and would likely die in the process.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Or actually antihero here, as it's completely Lobo's fault that Rudy Jones becomes the Parasite, even though it was accident.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: (Or antihero actually.) Here, it's completely Lobo's fault that Rudy Jones becomes the Parasite, even though by accident.

* ShoutOut: Parasite's final form in the climax is slightly like Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'s design in the [[Film/Godzilla1998 1998 American film]] (but with a scrawny build and without a tail), and also shoots blasts from his mouth like Godzilla's long tradition.

* {{BFG}}: Lobo has several of them. [[spoiler: Luthor also has one]].

* IComeInPeace: Spoken word-for-word by Superman.
