-Due to Kryptonian traditions, Lady Zara was married to Kal-El as an infant.
-Lex Luthor took a sample of Lois Lane's DNA and
created a clone of her similar to the Superman
clone (Vatman). She develops feelings for Clark
Kent. The clone differs from the original Lois in
personality and physical appearance. She prefers
bright colors and wears her hair in a bouffant style.
-Luthor made two types of clones. Type A's have a
lifespan of around 100 years and Type B's about two weeks. Lois II is the second type.
-Jimmy Olsen was played by Michael Landes in the first season of the series and by Justin Whalin for the second through fourth seasons. In the fourth season episode "Brutal Youth", Jack Larson portrayed Jimmy under the effects of an aging ray. Larson previously played Jimmy Olsen in Adventures of Superman.
-Apart from Ultrawoman and Resplendent Man (both of whom gained Kryptonian powers from Superman), the show never had Clark interact
directly with other superheroes. A female convict, in
"The People vs. Lois Lane", mistakes Superman for
The Caped Crusader.
-Tim and Amber Lake are shown to have stolen the
Batmobile. It is the same car that was used in the
Burtonverse movies Batman and Batman Returns.
This episode aired shortly after the release of Batman
Forever, which introduced a new Batmobile. The implications of this appearance are unclear.
-After the series was retooled following the first season, Cat Grant's character was dropped from the show and was never mentioned again.
-Clark's nickname is 'C.K.' courtesy of Jimmy.
-The clone was never issued an actual name in the series. The Kents simply refer to her by her biological donor's name. The fans have dubbed her 'Clois'.

-In "Faster Than a Speeding Vixen", a cop compares

businessman Arthur Chow, of Hong Kong, and
Elena Pappas, of Athens, Greece, with a net worth
of over $20 billion, and an annual income of an
additional $2 billion.
-This version of Perry White is a huge fan of Elvis Presley, and frequently exclaims "Great shades of Elvis!", as opposed to White's traditional exclamation of "Great Caesar's ghost!", though he said it once in the episode "The Phoenix".
-Jaxon Xavier the illegitimate son of Lex Luthor was born November 12, 1962.
-In "Virtually Destroyed", we learn Jimmy knows how to hack computers.
-Unlike other versions of Lex Luthor, he has a full head
of hair for the majority of the series. The actor, John Shea,
addressed this by stating "Hey, this is the '90s. Do you
think a billionaire like Luthor couldn't get himself a full
head of hair?" He lost his hair upon his revival from the
dead but grew it back later.
-John Shea was chosen for the part of Lex Luthor because
he had the looks and charm of a romantic leading man;
LeVine wanted a Lex Luthor who could serve as a romantic
rival for Superman.
-In "All Shook Up", Perry mentioned that he was in Lebanon from 1982 until after the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing.
-K Callan distinguished herself from the other actresses auditioning to play Martha Kent by wearing a pink tracksuit. Whereas the other actresses presented themselves as stereotypical farmers, Callan understood that the show's producers were looking for a modernized Martha Kent.
-The sets were designed to have a timeless appearance, such that the show could seem to be taking place in the 1950s or the near future and not become dated in later years.
-The series ended on a cliffhanger in which Lois and Clark find an infant in Clark's old bassinet, along with a note that claimed the child
belonged to them. Brad Buckner, executive producer,
and writer for the third and fourth seasons, later
revealed the planned story was that the child "Was
Kryptonian royalty, stashed by his mother to keep
him safe from assassins".
-Lois and Clark finally wed in the episode "Swear To
God, This Time We're Not Kidding". The same week,
DC Comics released Superman: The Wedding Album, featuring the marriage of Lois and Clark.
-The new writing staff all enjoyed coming up with excuses for Clark to use to terminate conversations so that he could run off and change to Superman, so these excuses and Lois's increasing hurt and frustration at them were made both an ongoing subplot and running joke throughout the season.
