Bloopers & Inconsistencies

Even in a fictitious reality that accepts the notion of super-powered individuals, this episode still demonstrates several logistical improbabilities.

  • Hal defeats Sinestro by putting him in a giant energy bottle. But a plot point throughout the series is that Hal's ring won't effect anything yellow...and Sinestro still has his yellow power ring.
  • Superman imprisons Bizzaro in the Lincoln Memorial...which Bizzaro should be able to escape from easily.
  • Bizarro's ray will cause the recipients to grow to 100 feet tall, which he describes as twice Giganta's size, putting Giganta's maximum height at 50 feet. But in the opening to each show, where Apache Chief chases Giganta around a city, they are both shown to be taller than eight- or nine-story buildings, which would not only make them taller than merely 50 feet, it would make them taller than the 100 feet Bizarro's giants are. In fact, Apache Chief must enlist the help of the Atom to grow more then 50 feet tall in The Man in the Moon.

Other
