    Not 'Super,' But A Decent Part II

    This is not as funny as last episode's "The Main Man: Part I," but it's still entertaining as Superman gets out of his glass prison, regains most of his strength, and even gets "Lobo" (The Main Man") to be his ally against "The Preserver" so they can both get out of there: one back to Earth and the other back to his planet "Zarnia."

    The two find it isn't easy to get away from the giant ship and zoo-like atmosphere where all sorts of traps and weird monsters await them as "The Preserver" keeps close tabs on them.

    An action-packed and colorful episode with entertaining and often humor creatures like "The Geek." The best color was near the end when "The Preserver" morphs into some giant red creature who is very cool looking. This was good comic-book stuff.

    • Trivia
      The mind controlling alien menace, Starro, can be seen in one of the Preserver's tanks as Superman and Lobo flee their enclosures.
    • Goofs
      Lobo tells Superman that his ship can be found in the "south hanger" aboard the Preserver's ship. There is no "south" on a vessel in space. Sides of the ship can be expressed as fore, aft, starboard, port, ventral or dorsal, but cardinal directions only apply on a planet with a core magnetic field.
    • Quotes

      [after Superman lets him out]

      Lobo: Hey, Blue. Thanks.

      [punches him]

      Superman: What was that for?

      Lobo: Didn't want you to think I'd gone soft.
