Trivia

• The episode was named after the song of the same name by Ween that played during both the opening scene with Kal-El of the Inverse World as well as the final scene of Superman being arrested by the United States government.
• The fight that the Kal-El of the Inverse World has in his flashback parallels the fight that Superman has at the episode's end to an extent, with the only difference being that the former won his fight and the latter lost his fight.
• When Jordan suggests teaming up with Jonathan, he says they can call themselves "The Fraternals" which is a likely reference to the 2021 film Eternals.
• Sam Lane, while getting Lois and Lucy in the same room, compares Jordan's long hair to "pirates in the islands" movies. Lois corrects him with Pirates of the Caribbean series and Lucy says that Sam isn't familiar with any movie not named Delta Force.
