Question: Since when do they execute people so quickly on death row once the corrupt cop is exposed for being the real killer?
Answer: Time passes quickly. It doesn't show every minute of every day. When he was executed, several months, maybe a couple of years, had gone by. They wanted to show him finally deducing that Clark Kent was Superman.
Monkey Fun - S2-E13
Other mistake: Season 2 episode 13 "Monkey Fun": Just before the enlarged Titano appears at the zoo, there is a family watching normal-sized monkeys in a cage. The family father (farthest on the right) has a drawing disorder with his eyes: their pupils look up and down, respectively, giving him a rather goofy expression.
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.].
Trivia: When Kyle is knocked into the airfield by Siniestro, he crashes into a Sabre jet. As he recovers, we read the pilot's name as Col. Hal Jordan. This is the name of the second, Silver Age Green Lantern.
Answer: To add to the other answers, in the U.S. the average time on death row before execution is close to 20 years due to lengthy appeals, legal challenges, evolving state policies, and complex judicial processes. In modern times, it never happens as it does in movies and TV.
