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)

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.

The road also becomes much wider with more lanes, and the red truck turns around. (00:22:40 - 00:23:25)
