Complete story — includes the ending

Teaser: From the files of the Bat-Computer, Batman and Robin fight King Tut while wearing a special mummified uniform as Vicki Vale watches and take photographs. Main plot: Lex Luthor sends a red Kryptonite necklace to Lois Lane, causing Superman to be infected and become evil. Now Batman must work with Krypto to hold off Superman until the effects of the Red Kryptonite wear off. At the end of the show, The World's Finest stop an alien invasion and are honoured by America. Note: The Main plot is a homage to Silver Age Superman stories and mythology: Jimmy Olsen and his signal watch, Lois Lane with her Silver Age haircut and wedding dreams about Superman, Luthor as a fat evil scientist, Krypto the superdog, Red Kryptonite, the embottled city of Kandor, Mxyzptlk with prominent tooth and returning to the fifth dimension when spelling his name backwards, and Brainiac with his monkey Koko. The Metropolis Mayor is named Swan, after comic artist Curt Swan. Ben Jones switched the episode's teaser with the one intended for "Sword of the Atom!" because this episode was running too long. The episode was included on the season 2 part 2 DVD volume.
