Trivia: Peyton List voices Batgirl. Peyton List also voices Poison Ivy. This is not the same person getting credited twice. It's two different people. Normally the SAG doesn't allow two living members to have the same name, but they accidentally missed the younger Peyton List (Batgirl). The SAG should have made the younger List use a middle initial or stage name. Incidentally, the younger List got her start in an uncredited role in an episode of "As the World Turns" which also featured the older List.

Smallville (2001)
Question: In this episode, Lionel falls to his death. While still on the steps, covered with a tarp, the cop tells Lex that she needs a positive identification, so Lex must look at the dead body to confirm it's Lionel. Lionel was a well known public figure, and they obviously knew who he was well enough to get Lex to identify him. I've seen cops do this in other shows, so is it really a policy or practice to get family members to give a positive identification? Would they ever ask for it at the scene?

Continuity mistake: When Kara and Clark get off the elevator, there's no-one around them as they're walking away. In the next shot of Kara and the elevator, 3 people have suddenly gathered to look at the broken elevator. The elevator was off camera for less than 2 seconds, not enough time for 3 different people to get into the position they're in when they weren't close by to begin with.

Smallville (2001)
Question: Ignoring the meteor metahuman powers, couldn't Jonathan Kent say the signature was a forgery, and he didn't sign it? It didn't seem to be notarized. He doesn't remember signing it or know what Rickman said to him to get him to sign it, so what would the courts or a lawyer say if Kent just said that's not his signature, or he didn't sign it? And how ironclad could the contract be without the date filled out?"Twentieth" day is typed out, but the month and year is blank.

Smallville (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Lionel is watching the video and drawing Kryptonian symbols, some of the symbols change in between shots. For example, when he draws "minion" one of the dots is touching the square. When he writes the word, everything is nice and neat and the dots aren't touching anything.

Answer: This is a common TV/movie trope that sets up a dramatic "reveal." It mostly streamlines the plot and eliminates the need to film an entirely separate scene. In real life, identity is handled at the morgue. A photograph of the corpse would be shown to family, a close friend, or other associate. This is done in a visitor's room and not in the lab. The family can supply photos that the coroner could compare with the body. A person's identity can be verified by other physical traits-birthmarks, scars, medical conditions, etc. In extreme cases, DNA testing would be used.
