* MythologyGag: After spending weeks in space following Parasite's rampage on Stryker's Island, Clark is surprised to learn people thought he was dead, he {{hand wave}}s it by saying he survived after being buried in an old, well stocked bomb shelter. At the end of the [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman Superman Returns arc,]] during the rebuilding of Metropolis, Superman looks on as a construction crew digs out Clark (actually [[spoiler: ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} who shape shifted into the form of Clark]]) who tells everyone he survived Doomsday's rampage by hiding in an old bomb shelter for a month when the building above collapsed.

* ClarkKenting: [[TropeMaker Of course]]. In addition to the presence of glasses, when he appears as Clark he slouches, his hair is ruffled, he cannot walk two feet without tripping over something and his voice is markedly different. These features are frequently mentioned within the various ''Superman'' comics, and were included in all live-action [[Film/SupermanFilmSeries films]], but this is the first animated feature to include them. He's no longer pretending, however, near the end when his sickness is becoming overwhelming.
* CoverBlowingSuperpower: When Clark is interviewing Luthor in prison and [[spoiler:Parasite]] breaks free, he needs to rescue the guards and protect Luthor, all without being seen doing superhuman feats or suspiciously disappearing from view. {{Foreshadowed}} when Clark jostling a man prevents him from being seriously injured or killed by a loose block of concrete.

"Cannot" rather than "can not" is correct here.

* EurekaMoment: When Luthor finally defeats Superman and drags him out in front of a waiting crowd of onlookers and police, he falls silent after announcing his plans to move into the White House and blowing up a police car, leading Nasthalthia to wonder what's up. Luthor then marvels at just what he can now perceive now that he has Superman's senses, and in turn, recognizes just why Superman is the way he is.
-->"I can see the entire electromagnetic spectrum. And those... must be atoms. Little clouds of possibility. Einstein couldn't connect the gravitational force to the other three, but if he could have seen this! It's so obvious! The fundamental forces are yoked by consciousness! Everything's connected! Every... one. And this is how he sees things all the time, every day. It's a cruel joke. The mechanistic clockwork of reality, hinging on a precious impossible defiance of entropy, on life! And the clockwork doesn't care! It's like- like it's all just us in here, together! ''We're all we've got.''"

But he uses his last days to write a Kryptonian genome database that would allow Lois to bear Superman's child, and gives it to Dr. Quintum as his final act of repentance.]]
