True Love's Kiss: Superman waking Lois from her coma really looks like this, even if it is actually the residue of the serum in him that cured her.

Adaptational Villainy: Mercy is a lot less morally ambiguous. She is fully supportive of Lex's secret pact with Brainiac.

Shipper on Deck: John and Martha are very supportive of Clark telling Lois his secret, as well as his feelings for her. Though mostly to dissuade his crush on Mercy, Lois tries to encourage Jimmy to spend time with Sara.

Lotus-Eater Machine: Superman has to go fetch some Applied Phlebotinum from the Phantom Zone to save Lois Lane and defeat Brainiac. It seems like he's done it and got back, and cured Lois and revealed his secret identity, and they're officially together now. When she starts talking about forgetting about defeating Brainiac, he realises it's all just an illusion that the Phantom Zone is using to keep him from escaping, and breaks free of the illusion.

Informed Deformity: Downplayed example. Jimmy actively avoids Sara, seeing her as unattractive in comparison to Mercy simply for wearing glasses. This is in spite of her having the exact same slender body type as virtually every major female character in the film.

Same Character, But Different
 Superman: Brainiac Attacks / int_9890e176
comment
Same Character, But Different: It was not written to be part of the DCAU, but the Superman: The Animated Series art style was used, so it was quite jarring when some characters acted nothing like you expected, with Brainiac himself a powerful but standard-issue bad guy, and Lex Luthor being basically his old-school-film-series self.

Oh, Crap!: Lex Luthor shouldn't have expected to be able to plant a self-destruct mechanism on a Kryptonian supercomputer without it noticing... Lex Luthor is practically doing this for the whole movie.

Ms. Fanservice: Mercy spends a great deal of her screentime doing little more than showing off her long, toned yet shapely legs. The same goes for Lois Lane, who also shows off her long shapely legs through her skirt and wears a sexy black dress that looks great on her.

 Superman: Brainiac Attacks / int_c67af1b0
comment
Big Bad Wannabe: Lex Luthor, for all his ambitions of world domination, is hopelessly outclassed by Brainiac. He makes a deal with Brainiac to help dispose of Superman, whereupon he will seemingly chase Brainiac out of Earth, making himself a hero in the eyes of the populace. Unsurprisingly, Brainiac ends up turning on him. It turns out Luthor anticipated that, which is why he planted a self-destruct sequence on him. What he didn't anticipate was Brainiac already knowing about, and subsequently removing, said self-destruct sequence, leaving Luthor to be quickly flattened.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Gender-Inverted. Jimmy has a crush on Mercy Graves, and even states that her being on the "dark side" only increases the allure. He seems to drop it after she beats the crap out of him, though. Similarly, Mercy admits she thinks Jimmy is cute, but it doesn’t stop her from immediately trying to kill him.
