Superman is not referenced in every episode

The debate about how often Superman is referenced in "Seinfeld" still goes on today, with some insisting that the Man of Steel is always there, like clockwork — except he's not. In fact, a guide to Superman references, called Superman Homepage, highlights the many episodes in which he's not referenced at all. According to this episode rundown, some memorable items in Seinfeld's apartment don't show up until later in the show, despite some fans likely thinking they are always set decorations. These items include a Superman statue that is often in the background of scenes but doesn't show up until Season 5, while a magnet on Jerry Seinfeld's fridge is also a common sight, but doesn't pop in until Season 4.

In a Reddit discussion about Superman references in "Seinfeld," u/mygawd posted an Easter Egg Archive page that breaks down references further, finding over 50 episodes with no reference to the Justice League leader. But there are still more than 120 episodes with some kind of Superman reference and over 20 in which there is a verbal nod. According to "Seinfeld" writer Peter Mehlman, who guest-wrote an article for the publication Parade, one of the reasons Superman is referenced so often in the sitcom is that he is a direct moral contrast to the main characters, as the superhero represents all that is good with the world and people, while "the 'Seinfeld' characters were devoted to lying, cheating, and getting their own way."
