Continuity mistake: During the fight in the desert, after Flash creates a tornado, the background behind Flash-original-suit changes: the corpses lying on the ground change number and position, and several tanks suddenly appear everywhere.

Trivia: SPOILER: Nicolas Cage has a cameo in this film as an alternate version of Superman fighting a giant spider. This is a nod to the cancelled film "Superman Lives", which would have starred Cage and been directed by Tim Burton. The giant spider was part of the script at the insistence of producer Jon Peters, who finally got to make use of the idea in Wild Wild West.
Answer: Some possible reasons gleaned from the Internet: Filmmakers wanted a different vision of Supergirl to reflect a darker, grittier personality and to show her refugee-like experience. Her dark short hair symbolizes her harsher journey from her home world. Also, it gives her a more androgynous look, reflecting both her feminine and masculine traits. Those are all possible reasons, but adopting a radically different look for an established character generates more attention and interest in the film.
