Continuity mistake: After Jimmy quits the Daily Planet, Lois barges into Perry's office demanding to know why and discovers that he is drinking. One shot shows him tip up his glass and drink most of the contents, leaving only a small amount with the four ice cubes. It cuts to Lois for a moment then back to Perry as he says to not sugar coat it, and now his glass is half full, when he nearly emptied it moments before. (00:33:50)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Lois and Perry are arguing in his office, and you see his door. The handle of the door is on the right side. But 30 minutes later in the film when they are talking there again, the door handle has switched to the other side. It's most noticeable when Perry says "easy to lose sight of I guess in a world without Superman." And then takes a drink. (00:03:20 - 00:33:35)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: As the camera is zooming in on the electronics shop, you can see the doorway and a welcome mat out front of it. But when the thugs break the window and start stealing TVs out of it, the doorway is barely visible, but the bottom half of it is now wall that connects the other sides, and the welcome mat has been cut down to a small little thing barely what it was. It then goes back to normal in the overhead shot. Also the building to the right of the electronics shop changes up in the overhead shot. (00:32:45)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Towards the beginning of the film, you see Clark pick up and then set down a picture of his mother down by his computer towers. Then 30 minutes into the film you see Lois look across over at that same picture after Superman's death and the computer towers change in design. (00:04:30 - 00:30:45)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: After the scene in the Daily Planet where Lois and Perry are talking about Clark missing and that Lois should go see friends or family, it cuts to her driving down a road by large corn fields going to Martha Kent's house. She is driving with her right hand on the top of the steering wheel and her left arm hanging out the window, but with her hand and wrist propped up on the seal. It then cuts to a different angle as the car is driving by and suddenly her left arm looks extremely weird in some animation error. It appears it is just the elbow of her arm out the window, but that it has somehow merged with the door and she has become part of the car. Also her right hand is no longer at the top of her steering wheel and her head rest on her seat is suddenly not extended up as much. (00:30:55)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: After Superman's funeral, Lois is sitting in her cubicle at the Daily Planet reading a newspaper. When Perry White walks up and talks about there not being word from Clark Kent, it cuts to a shot from further back. Some of the papers on the wall behind her vanish, the pencil on her desk vanishes, the papers pinned to her bulletin board to her right change shape slightly, especially the one towards the center bottom becomes straighter instead of crooked and longer, also displaying different text. And the distance between the edge of her bulletin board and the other cubicle wall increases. (00:30:15)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene showing Superman's funeral, there is a yellow guard rail around the memorial stand with his coffin in front of the podium. Standing in front of the yellow rail are 13 police officers in full uniform, 7 on one side and 6 on the other. The shot cuts to the audience for a moment, and then shows the podium and memorial again from a distance shot, and suddenly all the police standing by the coffin have vanished. (00:28:10)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: As Superman is emerging from the smoke after the impact, the amount of damage to his suit on his right shoulder changes between shots of him, the close up of Lois and the back to him. The damage on the chest area also changes from appearing near perfect to very jagged. And the blood dripping down from his mouth also becomes thinner. (00:26:50)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Superman grabs Doomsday and rockets upwards with him to save a little girl and to take the creature into space. When he first starts going up, Doomsday's arms are forced down at his sides, but slightly in front of him from the force. But when the shot cuts to a distance shot, suddenly Doomsday's arms are stretched up in the air like how Superman normal flies. (00:25:25)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Lois is reading a newspaper in her cubicle about the death of Superman, and there is a pencil on her desk on top of some papers. A few shots later when Perry White gets closer to her to tell her that Kent is probably fine, the pencil turns around facing a different direction, and the papers it is on move also. A stapler also suddenly appears next to her computer, and the brown book on the far end of her desk moves closer to her and turns around so the spine is facing the wall to Lois right and the pages facing her computer when it was the spine facing her computer first. (00:30:35)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: After Lois and Jimmy settle down by some rubble to watch the fight more, Doomsday is shown picking Superman up by his head before he begins punching his gut. In that shot, Doomsday's right arm is straight down by his side, and also the bone spikes have vanished off his knuckles. It then cuts to a close up and suddenly Doomsday's arm is drawn back some behind his back, and his knuckle spikes reappear. (00:24:45)
12th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: After Superman is flung out of the subway and hits a building, then lands on the ground face down, Doomsday leaps out of the hole and you can see what appears to be a brown 80's SUV, or a truck with a camper, behind him next to some civilians. The camera angle changes a side shot of him as Doomsday turns his attention to the civilians and charges them, and now the SUV has vanished. (00:23:40)
12th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: When Superman is launched out of the ground from his fight in the subway with Doomsday, he smashes into a brown building with yellow windows. The windows on the left side of the building are in a tall vertical column, with several horizontal rows of yellow windows on the rest of the building. When Superman hits the building, you can see he hits between the area of two horizontal rows of yellow windows. But it cuts to a close up and suddenly he is lined up with one of the rows. (00:23:35)
12th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Doomsday picks Superman up by the head and is about to start pounding him in the gut when Lois and Jimmy run up to some rubble behind the creature and duck down. Jimmy then raises up his camera to his face to snap a picture, but when it changes to a shot from behind Jimmy and Lois, suddenly his camera is back down. (00:24:40)
12th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Doomsday has a bone spike protruding up from each of his 4 knuckles. But when Doomsday grabs Superman by the head and draws back to punch him hard in the face, the spike on his thumb is missing. Superman catches his fist, and in that shot you can see two more of the spikes have vanished, and Doomsday only has one over his middle knuckle. (00:23:55)
12th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: After Jimmy takes a picture of the hole in the ground above the subway station, the shot pulls back and shows the hole, with several people gathered around it and some cars. Then suddenly some of the road is pushed up from Doomsday and Superman fighting below and the people turn to look. The angle then changes before more road is pushed up on the other side of the hole, and suddenly the part of the road that was pushed up in the previous shot is back down to normal, the green cars have vanished and a white one appears next to this new pushed up spot, and a guy wearing a white shirt suddenly appears where the road is pushed up. Also the crosswalk lines once again vanish. (00:23:35)
12th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: When Doomsday slams Superman down into the subway, the hole they make in the street is right in the middle of a crossing. But a minute later in the film as civilians are walking up to the hole, there are no lines anywhere around it. Moments later after Jimmy takes a picture of the hole, the shot cuts to a far angle and now the hole is next to the crosswalk lines, and in that shot the stairway entrance to the subway station also vanishes. The road also becomes much wider with more lanes, and the red truck turns around. (00:22:40 - 00:23:25)
10th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: When Doomsday backhand slaps Superman down the tunnel, Superman skids along the roof for a moment first, and leaves a good amount of damage to it in the process before he falls to the rails below. But then when the subway train is coming and Doomsday turns his attention to it, the damage Superman made to the roof of tunnel has completely fixed itself. Also some of the lines at the start of the tunnel dividing the different concrete slabs have vanished. (00:23:10)
10th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Once Doomsday slams Superman down through the ground into a subway station, he has him by the neck against the floor, and then clasps his other hand around Superman's neck. When he does, Superman looks up at him with his eyes just before he blasts Doomsday away with his laser vision. But his head is still turned sideways. It cuts to a different angle and suddenly Superman's head is fully facing up towards Doomsday. Also the grip in how Superman and Doomsday are holding each other changes a bit, notably with their hands. (00:22:45)
10th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Doomsday leaps into the air and smashes Superman down into the ground, crashing down into a subway station. As they are hitting the floor, you can see the brown columns holding up the roof are almost to the edge of the walkway by the tracks and touches where the tan area of the floor changes to a light green color at the end. But then Superman shoots Doomsday back with his laser vision and Doomsday looks at him angrily, and now the columns have a good few feet between them and the edge of the walk way. (00:22:40)
