The Death of Superman

Lois distracts Doomsday causing the creature to come for her. Superman puts all the strength he has left into one final attack to stop him and lunges at the beast as hard as he can. He hits Doomsday with both fists so hard it spins his head around backwards snapping his neck. But Doomsday also stabs Superman through the chest at the same time. Superman dies in Lois' arms and they hold his funeral.

The film ends with Lois and Jimmy going to Superman's grave which has been busted and a figure resembling Superman hovers above them looking at the statue before flying off.

Several mid credit scenes show different characters trying to become their version of Superman setting up the next film, Rise of the Supermen.

Continuity mistake: In the space shuttle, as the astronauts are preparing to leave and avoid the asteroid, the one in the front left seat is fiddling around with some controls and raises and lowers his arm. It is a smooth animation of his arm each time it moves. He lowers it back down and then the one behind him mentions the bay doors are still open, and then suddenly the guy in front's arm just jumps back up to its previous position instantly like a jump cut.
