Corrected entry: Near the end, at the Fortress of Solitude, when Lex Luthor "betrays" Superman by telling General Zod about the molecule chamber, he then tells the General "...that crystal over there activates the mechanism." How did Luthor know this? Superman did not tell him.

Corrected entry: When fighting the villains at the Fortress of Solitude, Superman makes duplicates of himself that appear and disappear. He says that he likes this game, and used to play it as a boy. Since he was sent to Earth as a baby and there were none like him on Earth, who did he play it with?
Correction: Superman didn't say he played the game 'as a boy', he said 'at school'. He was actually making a light hearted throwaway comment. This is obvious when you consider that the Fortress, which is generating the images, was not built until he was 18 so he's not telling a genuine childhood anecdote.
Correction: Because Lex Luthor had already been to the fortress earlier in the film and already figured out how to work the crystal activation mechanism.
