** The title is an obvious play on ''Film/ApocalypseNow''. On the DVD commentary, Bruce Timmm confirmed that in addition to Coppola's film, the episode title was also an homage to ''The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans'' crossover from the Eighties (which was titled ''Apokolips... Now''), which also fits with the tribute to Creator/JackKirby since, in addition to creating Darkseid and the New Gods, he was also responsible for creating the original X-Men team with Creator/StanLee.

Supes doesn't bite and it's clear Darkseid didn't seriously expect him to take it anyway. It was more of a token "Well, don't say I never gave you a choice" gesture.
