Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Mister Mxyzptlk, returns and tricks Bizarro into attacking Superman. The Man of Steel must use both brawn and intellect to fight the formidable duo.

Our Take

A breezy cartoon romp that pairs two of the show’s best troublemakers, and the gags mostly land thanks to Mxyzptlk’s nonstop showboating. Bizarro’s sweetness gives the chaos some heart, though the plot resolves too easily to feel like a real fight. Fun, disposable, and worth a watch if you enjoy these characters, but it won’t stick with you afterward.
