Superman/Lois (in unison): "I'm sorry I ruined our date."
We're three episodes away from the finale and we get this event of an episode that threw things for a massive loop. Yes, the evil Superman trope made its way onto this show and it's all thanks to a certain someone.
The someone being Mister Mxyzptlk (David Errigo Jr) who decided to interrupt Superman's very planned and organised date with Lois by telling the former that the latter had been kidnapped. Except she wasn't quite as it turned out that Lois and Jimmy themselves had their own company to keep up.
The company being a Legion of Lois Lanes, including a male version named Lewis (Osiric Chau) along with a female version of Jimmy named Jelani who later proved to be an ally to our trio. The other Lois Lanes (and Lewis) had their own mission: stopping Mxy and taking out Superman as well.
Mxy's need for Superman was simple enough - he was useful in getting a clue to getting his magic hat back and Mxy wasted no time in trading in the Man of Steel for the fun Lois to get the very hat he desired. He succeeded, there was a cool fight scene and then he was hoisted by his petard and depowered.
Of course that wasn't the last of Mxy. Soon as our Superman and Lois finally got to the "I love yous" part of their relationship, a spanner got thrown in the works. The spanner being Lois now aware of evil Supermen from different Earths. Something which Mxy was only too happy to revel in her figuring out.
However Mxy did allude to knowing a lot more than just that. Will this Superman also succumb to evil? I don't see it happening myself but with three episodes left and still the Task Force X plot to be resolved, who's to say what will happen before the season ends.
- We saw various animated versions of both Superman and Lois while Jelani was also confirmed to be a Flamebird too.
- Jimmy was very excited by Superman's spaceship and the Lois Lanes one too.
- This series is set in Earth 12. Superman also became aware of Krypton being his homework thanks to Mxy.
- Chronology: Not long from where the last episode left off. Lois in our world is also 23 years old, the youngest version we've had in animation I think.
Kiss, Kiss, Fall In Portal was another strong effort as we build towards the finale. We've had a lot of Multiverse stuff with DC this year and this was another delightful look into it. I'm really loving this show.
