Superman: The Animated Series

Correction: It should also be pointed out that Bowman didn't murder the lady for her jewelry. While his motives were unknown (and irrelevant), he simply used the jewelry to frame Walker.

Correction: A plot hole is when there is a logical inconsistency that benefits a story despite not making any sense. A reason not being given for a character's actions is not a plot hole, nor is it any other kind of mistake.

Not only is it not known why Bowman killed the woman, no explanation is ever given as to why he chose to frame Walker so it still benefits as a plot hole.

No, it doesn't. As I already mentioned, a plot hole is an inconsistency that benefits the story despite not making any sense. Explanations not being provided for character decisions is just that - missing information. Calling it a plot hole is categorically false.

Mxyzpixilated - S2-E8

Character mistake: In the third instance where Superman manages to get rid of Mxyzptlk, he uses an article full of typos which spell the latter's name backwards as KLTPZYXM. Among the incorrect words is the word "citrimes", in which Superman has included an I and a T, so the correct word in context with the rest of the text should read "crimes" and thus the errors would spell KL-I-TPZYXM. Since there are no vowels in MXYZPTLK, however, what is the additional I doing here - and why didn't Mxyzptlk bother to mark it as a mistake, either?

Mxyzpixilated - S2-E8

Superman: A game has rules. Your stunts are just random idiocy.
Mxyzptlk: Okay, I'll give you a rule. You make me say, spell or otherwise reveal my name backwards, and I'll split until our dimensions come into alignment again in about, oh, three months, say give or take.
Superman: I can't even say your name forward. How am I supposed to say it backward?
Mxyzptlk: No, dope! You don't have to say it backward. You have to get ME to say it.
Superman: Say what?
Mxyzptlk: Kltpzyxm! Gosh, you're thick! Now, for the last time - ah, nuts. [Disappears.].
