Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMartha suggests the names Christopher, Kevin, and Kirk. 'Christopher' and 'Kirk' refer to famous live-action Superman actors; Christopher Reeve who played Superman in Superman (1978) plus all of its sequels and Kirk Alyn who was the first actor to portray Superman onscreen and did so in Superman (1948). 'Kevin' actually refers to voice actor Kevin Conroy who became famous for voicing fellow DC Comics hero Batman in Batman: The Animated Series (1992) which was made by the same creative team as this series.
- Quotes
Martha Kent: That was Lana. Third time tonight, Clark. Won't you talk to her?
Teenage Clark Kent: Oh, what can I say, Ma? I don't even know how it happened. Suddenly, I was running faster than I've ever run in my life. I ripped the camper apart like it was cardboard. And the fire never touched me. I've always felt I was different, even before you and Pa told me I was adopted, but how is it possible to do these things?
Jonathan Kent: I think it's time, Martha.
[cut to them leading Clark into the barn]
Jonathan Kent: [opening a crate] We never showed you this, son. I guess we didn't know how to explain it. Still don't.
[Clark sees his Kryptonian ship]
Jonathan Kent: You know how some babies are found in baskets? Well, this is how we found you.
Teenage Clark Kent: You're kidding, right?
[seeing their looks]
Teenage Clark Kent: You're not. So... where did I come from?
Martha Kent: We don't know. There wasn't much inside. Just some blankets and... this.
Jonathan Kent: [showing him a metal box] Never could get the darn thing open. Maybe you've got the magic touch.
- ConnectionsEdited into Superman: The Last Son of Krypton (1996)
We also see a classmate, Lana Lang, who admits to having a crush on Clark since he was three. Her cracked voice sounds a lot like Margot Kidder who played Lois Lane in the '80s Superman movies but it is Kelly Schmidt.
By the way, any comments I make in this review or in other episodes where the material looks new to me is only in comparison to the TV show of the '50s or the movies of the '80s. I don't know the comic book versions of Clark/Superman and all his wild enemies.
In another too-fast-of-a-transition, Clark goes from teen to new reporter on the Daily Planet. (What happened to the part where Clark's dad dies? Where is the segment which explains why he leaves for Metropolis??)
We see an updated Lois, right of the bat, kind of snotty type that Hollywood likes, the kind of person with an "attitude." Then we are introduced to Lex Luthor, whose company ("Lexcorp") makes defense items, like a new indestructible robot, for the military. Why am not surprised they show Luthor, a villain, aligned with the military? It's so typical Liberal Hollywood, where the military and anyone connected with them is always the bad guy.
