Revealing mistake: During the airplane mishap where Lois is pinned to the ceiling, notice how the force is strong enough to hold her there, but both her hair and ID badge still hang down. (00:38:25)

Revealing mistake: At the baseball field, when Clark is holding the plane's nose he is replaced by an obvious CGI figure with zero facial expression.







Answer: I don't believe it is. This is a half reboot sequel to the classic Superman 2 movies and other than being a DC character, has no ties to other properties of the DC comic lore.
