Profanity

  • In a letter, it says "Beware - you fools!" along with a serious threat.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • In one scene, little smoke can be seen during a conversation scene, making it implied a character must have smoked something.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Using his deadly machine, a villain threatens to destroy everybody who laughed at him, and eventually cause the "greatest destruction the world has ever known".
  • Compared to what's seen in most modern Superman animated films, such as "Superman: Unbound" and "Superman/Doomsday", the level of intensity shown here is basically nothing. This short cartoon can be watched by children.
