Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

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.

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Doomsday drops Superman once he hears a little girl crying and walks up to her to try and smash her. As he is walking up, it shows a close up of the crying girl and she is wearing a pink shirt with denim overalls on. But look closely and you can see a mistake in how she was drawn. The straps of the overalls are incomplete and stop a few centimeters away from the buttons on them that are supposed to hold the straps in place, and the buttons are between the straps and her overalls, with a gap between the buttons and the front part as well. It's not connected at all and should be falling off her. (00:25:15)

General questions

Why do so many shows, especially cartoons, end or get canceled after 13 episodes. Its like it really is the unlucky number for shows. More often than not, if a show is canceled early on, it's right after episode 13. Why is that?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: Generally, 13 episodes is, depending on the network, either a half-season or a whole one. If it's a half, by the time they finish the 13th episode, they have a decent enough sampling of the average ratings to determine if they want to buy more episodes or not.

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

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)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

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)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

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)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

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)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

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)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

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)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

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)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

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)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

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)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: Doomsday and Superman leave a sizable hole in the roof of the subway station as they slam in through the streets above. But when Superman throws Doomsday down onto the tracks, the shot shows the same spot where they made the hole coming in, only now the roof is devoid of any damage and the hole entirely gone.

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: Once Superman throws Doomsday down onto the subway tracks, he flies at him and Doomsday back hand slaps him hard down the tunnel. Superman lands on his face on the rails, and you can see the sleepers on the ground under the rails. When the camera changes angles as Doomsday approaches him, the sleepers suddenly become much larger. (00:23:05)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: Just before Doomsday ploughs through the fence of the power station carrying Superman with him, you see down the street he is about to go on that there is a yellow 18 wheeler with gray trailer and an pinkish car on the left side of the street. But then it cuts to a close up of those same vehicles as Doomsday steps on one to jump, and suddenly both have turned into green cars. (00:22:35)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the first shot it is seen, the fence of the power station that Doomsday is thrown at shows that gate part is slightly taller than the rest of the fence and has one sign on each door of the gate. But then moments later as Doomsday is plowing through the gate, it is now the same height as the rest of the fence, and only one sign is present, which becomes smaller and a darker color. Also two vehicles appear behind the fence that were previously not there. Also on the gate there is a sign on each side of it, but before it breaks there is a sign only on the right side. (00:22:30)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: As Superman is throwing Doomsday at a small power station, you can see several cars out in front of it on the two lane road. Notably on the left side a small truck in the middle of the road, that's not moving at all, and a small pink sedan car right on the edge of the sidewalk. But only a few seconds later as Doomsday runs through the fence back in the other direction carrying Superman, suddenly the truck has vanished, and the pink car has changed to a brown station wagon and is facing the other direction. The two lane road is now a three lane road, and the sidewalk next to the fence is suddenly much more narrow. (00:22:15)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Superman blasts Doomsday away from him in the Subway station, Doomsday grabs him by the leg and flings him to the other side of the tunnel, breaking a large hole in the wall. As he hits, you can see there is a subway exit on the same wall about a yard or so away from where Superman hits. But then when Doomsday leaps at him to continue his attack, the wall is suddenly solid where the exit once was. (00:22:50)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Factual error: Superman throws Doomsday through a small power grid in the middle of Metropolis and then Doomsday drags him back through it, nearly obliterating the plant completely. Yet with this power station destroyed, not a single building or street light in the surrounding area is affected by the sudden change of power flow. (00:22:20)
