Trivia

• J'onn claims to have invented the name "kryptonite", which is unique to this series.

• From this episode onwards Calista Flockhart is no longer a series regular. This is due to the show's production team relocating from Los Angeles to Vancouver Canada, as Flockhart was averse to moving out of LA. Despite this, she continues to be in involved in the show (albeit as a recurring/guest star).
• The episode's title is a reference to The Adventures of Superman comics, as well as the Adventures of Supergirl digital tie-in comic book series.

• Clark references "Great Caesar's Ghost" to Perry White which he says in the TV series The Adventures of Superman.
• Cat's new assistant, Miss Teschmacher, is a reference to Lex Luthor's assistant from Superman: The Movie and its sequel, Superman II.

• Winn mentions an earthquake that Superman stopped in the San Andreas fault, a reference to Superman: The Movie.
