Superman faces off against the Kryptonite Man with his new arsenal of kryptonite, courtesy, of his mortal enemy, Lex Luthor.
Superman uses the rainbow kryptonite to say his name backwards. So to summon his imaginary imp from the 5th dimension. The imp used storytelling continuity to destroy kryptonite man.
Previously, Lois broke up with Superman. Because she is getting older and wants a family. And Superman stays the same. Lois wants somebody to grow with in age and in meaning
I like how Lois is like. I not raising baby Superman by myself. She has the whole justice league help raise baby Superman.

Because "I raised you until you became a legal adult and now we can date" would be big yikes.

(There are stories I've written by which I'd rather not be judged.) But man, it is hard to resist that impression when this is held up as the series' happy ending.
I don't think the "now we can date" moment ever comes in a scenario where Lois will be 60 before Clark is of legal age. This feels more like Lois exchanging one role in his life for another. But of course, she's still going to remember what his kiss felt like and...
As a premise for the kind of head-trippy horror that Prince and Morazzo deliver in Ice Cream Man (or delivered? I haven't seen a new one in a while), the idea of "woman breaks up with her boyfriend for theoretical family, ends up raising him from infancy along with his and her friends" could be an interesting take. But as an unironic now-everything-is-okay capper to a story about the prototypical superhero? FRIGGIN' WEIRD, MAN.
