Synopsis for "The Curse of the Atomic Skull"

Believing he is the character of an old serial, the Atomic Skull imitates all dialogue and actions from the show, confusing Superman with the movie's character, Rocket Man. Superman takes Skull out of the cinema, but Skull steals a bike and grabs Lois Lane (confusing her with the movie counterpart and Skull's love interest, Zelda). The chase takes them to the ruins of S.T.A.R. Labs, where Emil Hamilton (following the role of Dr. Electron) helps Superman absorb the Atomic Skull's radioactive energy, turning Joseph to his normal self again.
