|
| Lex Luthor appears at the beginning, but has no lines.
| The villainess Livewire was created purposely for this show, just like Harley Quinn was created for Batman: The Animated Series.
|

| Leslie Willis: No one's that nice for free, people! The Man of Steel is pulling the steal wall over your eyes! Don't buy into that act of his! Just say NO to Superman.
| Leslie Willis: Hmm, looks like the natives are restless. Line 3, speak your tinny little mind!
Bibbo: Yeah, you darn right I will, missy, 'cause I don't appreciate your scurvy remarks about me pal Superman.
Leslie Willis: Get a loud of this old fogy! What's the matter, gramps, not getting enough prunes?
Bibbo: Now you listen to me, smart lady, I don't think--
Leslie Willis: No, you don't think, do you dope? This Superman is nothing more than the world's strongest conman!
| Leslie Willis: Listen, what's the deal with you and Superman, huh?
Lois: What-what are you talking about?
Leslie Willis: Come on, you're always getting exclusives with him... Just how exclusive are you two?
(Clark looks uncomfortable)
Lois: It's not like that...
Leslie Willis: Oh, it's not, huh? I guess we'll never know if his pjs have that big red 'S'on them too.
| Lois: Do you really believe that garbage you say about Superman? Or is it just a way to get ratings?
Leslie Willis: Look, baby, to make it in this town I had to be better, sharper and louder than any man to half as much noticed! And nothing was handed to me on a silver platter either, unlike your friend Superman.
Lois: Some attitude you got there...
Leslie Willis: Ah, pays the bills.
| Lois: Huh, looks like Mother Nature isn't one of your faithful fans.
Leslie Willis: She'll come around. Everybody else does...
| (About Leslie's 3rd Anniversary Celebration)
Lois: I can't believe they're not pulling off this fiasco!
Jimmy: I've seen street riots more orderly than this...
| Lois: And the crowd turns ugly...
Jimmy: The crowd showed up ugly!
| Leslie Willis: See, Superman, I'm the rain master of this circus, and I tell this clowns what to do, not the papers and not some pumped up freak of nature in a cape!
| Perry White: Only this sure brings back the old days. When I was your age we didn't have computers or fax machines, or--
Lois: Yeah, yeah, and you walked 10 miles in your bare feet to work every day...
| Perry White: Typical. Today the airwaves...
Lois: ...Tomorrow the world.
| Livewire: (to Superman) So much for Mr. Goody Two-boots.
| Livewire: Sorry, blue boy, but you can't stop me anymore than you can stop the rain, the wind, or lightning!
| Livewire: Well, at least now we know you hit girls!!
|
| |
| When we first see Superman and Lois watching the concert in the rain, we can clearly see Superman is holding the umbrella, but when Superman 'quietly slips away', she is now holding it. Presumably this is slight of hand animation to show us his chivalry on the one hand, and also facilitate his quiet departure on the other. Otherwise it seems fairly illogical that Superman would ask Lois to hold it if he, in fact, wanted to creep away unnoticed.

| Leslie Willis: Oh yeah, the Live Wire is back on attack, folks. The Queen Babe of All Media. Your Mistress of the Airwaves, the one, the only Leslie Willis.
Leslie Willis seems to be modeled off of Howard Stern, a renowned Shock Jock who is also denominated as the "King of All Media".
| Livewire: If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere!
This is a paraphrase of one verse of Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York."
