Continuity mistake: In the scene where Clark is on the fishing boat and is about to be "crushed" there is a bundle of rope that is dropped on the deck. The bundle changes from what looks like cut up strands when it drops, to a nice looped up solid piece when the camera cuts to him picking it up.

Continuity mistake: When Superman is fighting Faora and Nam-Ek in Smallville, his head is held to the ground by Faora. In this shot his hair is over his forehead. The camera switches quickly to a shot of the two holding him down and then back to him - his hair is now off his forehead. (01:35:00)

Jason Swan

Continuity mistake: In one of the scenes where he is being bullied and is pushed against a fence by a group of kids, he's pulled out of the car while he is holding a book. Later when he is pulled up he uses his right hand, but in the shot afterwards the fence pole is bent by his left hand.

Continuity mistake: When General Zod throws Superman's mum, the ground she lands on is completely different in the next shot when he throws the truck - it's firmer and a different shade of green.

Question: Why does Lois fall when everything else is getting sucked into the black hole? And then superman has to fly with all his might to make sure she doesn't get sucked into the black hole? This doesn't make any sense. There are heavy rocks and debris getting sucked into that thing and Lois falls like she's heavier than all of them.

Answer: Lois wasn't affected by the Phantom Energy and the singularity only takes in things bathed in Phantom Energy like the debris affected by the Black Zero.
