Luthor's Loco Looking Glass: Luthor sends a strange mirror to the Daily Planet building and captures Jimmy Olsen, forcing Superman to find his friend and his foe before it's too late.
The Neanderthal Caveman Caper
The Warlock's Revenge: Once again, the Warlock is free and out for vicarious vengeance on Superman.
Luthor's Loco Looking Glass includes examples of the following tropes:
- Amusement Park of Doom: Luthor sets up his base of operation in an abandoned amusement pier, including a death trap involving sharks. For some reason, the Tunnel of Love also has horror figures in it.
- Fed to the Beast: Luthor sends a matter transfer machine disguised as a mirror to the Daily Planet, hoping to trap Clark Kent. He accidentally nabs Jimmy instead. His plot du jour consists of putting the hostage on a retracting floor over a Shark Pool, seemingly for no reason other than to upset Superman by killing one of his friends.
- Hall of Mirrors: Luthor temporarily traps Superman in one, using it to gloat and to mock his adversary. Superman breaks several of the mirrors, but after the last one just lets him into a second set, he flies out.
- Nobody Here but Us Statues: Superman hides among the statues in the Tunnel of Love to wait for his escaping nemesis. He scares Luthor when he suddenly reveals himself.
- Shark Pool: Lex Luthor puts Jimmy Olsen in a Death Trap involving a sliding floor over a pool of sharks. Luckily, Superman comes to the rescue seconds after he's dumped into the water.
- Shout-Out: Gloating while Superman is hunting for him in the hall of mirrors, Luthor uses the classic "mirror, mirror" rhyme to declare himself the world's smartest person.
- Trauma Button Ending: The events of the episode start when Luthor has a matter transfer machine disguised as a mirror sent to the Daily Planet and Jimmy falls into it. At the end, Clark offers him a hand mirror to see a smudge on his face more clearly, which Jimmy emphatically refuses.
- Tunnel of Love: Luthor attempts to escape Superman by fleeing through the Amusement Park of Doom's Tunnel of Love (which looks more like a Chamber of Horrors).
The Warlock's Revenge includes examples of the following tropes:
- Know When to Fold 'Em: The Warlock wants to borrow his sister's magical ruby to use its powers to exact revenge on Superman but she refuses because she's sure that the Warlock will fail again and Superman will destroy the ruby. The Warlock just takes the ruby by force and it leads to Superman eventually proving her right.
- Surprise Slide Staircase: The Warlock magically transforms the stairs beneath Lois Lane's feet into a slide to dump her into a busy street.
- Trauma Button Ending: The Warlock brings a monster movie poster to life to menace Lois. After everything is wrapped up, Clark says she needs some down time and suggests they see the same movie.
