Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Superman encounters a clone of himself who decays into a flawed version dubbed Bizarro. The clone continuously argues, “You no am Superman. Me am Superman!” until he discovers the truth of his origins, a secret cloning operation in the mountains, led by none other than Lex Luthor. Lex hopes to create an army of Supermen at his disposal.
Our Take
A middling episode with a genuinely sad core, as Bizarro’s broken speech and fading body make him more pitiful than villainous. Tim Daly does good work voicing both versions, but the cloning plot rushes through its ideas and Luthor’s scheme feels undercooked. Worth a watch for Bizarro alone, just don’t expect much around him.
