Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Dark Superman goes to the door to the salon, the door has on it the number 932. He opens the door in, and it swings to the right. But it cuts to an inside view and suddenly it is swinging it to the left, and the font of the number has completely changed. (00:52:50)

Continuity mistake: As Dark Superman walks into Lex's office, Lex turns his head sideways and looks at him as he says "Well... The piratical son of Krypton." It cuts to a close up from a different angle and suddenly Lex is looking straight forward. (00:51:40)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the real Superman is in the solar chamber going through accelerated absorption of solar energy, there is a giant, dormant robot to the right of the chamber, and Superman is on the left side facing it. A few shots later, suddenly Superman is on the same side of the chamber as the giant robot and has his back to it. Then in the very next shot, Superman is instantly on the left side again facing the robot. (00:51:30)

Other mistake: After Dark Superman destroys the weapons of the cops that try to arrest him, he walks away down the sidewalk. As he does, there is a yellow vehicle on the side of the road. This vehicle is horribly drawn and does not make sense. There are no headlights, there are no doors, just one line down the center of the side showing some sort of separation between the front and back halves of the car. There is no hood, the front of the car being a solid piece. There are no side view mirrors. And the wheels are so small, you could hardly get them on a child's toy truck. There is also a very large orange square on the side by the bumper next to a fire hydrant that appears to be a blinker or reflector, but it is way too large. (00:51:15)

Continuity mistake: As the police car with Toyman in it arrives at the police station, there are 5 cops standing at the bottom of the steps in front of the station standing it two groups. Three side by side, and then two off to the side. There are also several civilians close to the steps. Then it cuts to a bird's eye view of the station and suddenly there are only 4 cops in front of the station, and their arrangement has changed. And the civilians around the station are suddenly much further away from the steps. (00:48:00)

Continuity mistake: Dark Superman comes and takes Toyman from the cops. As he does, the police car is a good distance behind them. Then the shot shows Superman take Toyman up in the air, then back to the cops. Suddenly the police car is right behind them by just a few feet. (00:48:15)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the police show up to try and arrest Dark Superman, the overhead shot of the cars spotlighting him show him by a building, but approximately 10 feet away from it, give or take a few. He is also about 5 feet away from the old lady. Then when the cops get out and walk up, it shows Dark Superman again from a different angle, and suddenly he is only a few feet away from the wall, moved closer to a balcony like thing, and is now just a step away from the old lady. (00:50:55)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Dark Superman is confronting the old lady about letting her cat out, police cars drive up and spotlight him. Dark Superman's shadow is cast on the wall beside him, and on the small balcony. But when the camera angle changes, his shadow is on the bricks, not close to the balcony. (00:50:45)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: As Lois makes her way to the scene where Toyman was killed, there is a green sheet over his body on the police car. There is blood going from his exposed hands down the side of the car to the ground, but there is no blood on the top of the sheet. Then when Lois sees Jimmy snapping pictures of the scene, there is suddenly quite a bit of blood on the green sheet. Then when the camera shows a high angle of the vehicle with the dead Toyman on it, the blood is gone once again. (00:49:10)

Quantom X

Other mistake: After Dark Superman kills Toyman, someone calls Lois and tells her that. She answers the phone and says "Lane... HE DID WHAT!?" She responds to the news way too quickly. There wasn't even enough time for the person on the other end to say anything, much less inform Lois that Superman killed someone. (00:48:55)

Quantom X

Character mistake: As Lex is studying the recording of when Superman's body vanishes, he says "A 19 second black out at 3:47 AM." But the clock on the video shows it goes from 3:47:05 when the blackout starts, to 3:47:26. The blackout was 21 seconds, not 19. (00:45:55)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The live news broadcast of Superman's interview after his resurrection shows it broad daylight in Metropolis. When Martha Kent sees this at her farm, although being in the same state, it is pitch black night time outside at her house. (00:40:10)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: Lois uses a backpack to hit the doll with the knife. It hits the windshield of the school bus and falls to the ground, glass all around it. When Lois steps on it to break it, the glass around it vanishes. (00:36:45)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The curtains on the door of the Kent farm keep changing colors in the scene where Lois talks to Martha Kent at the door. Shots from behind Lois show the curtains a pale white color, but the close ups of Martha show them as red. And in the reverse angles from behind Martha, they appear a pale pinkish orange. (00:31:00 - 00:32:30)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Perry White is talking to Lois about Clark not calling or emailing, Lois is reading the newspaper about Superman's death. She has it opened up fully. But after the camera shows Clark's computer, Lois still in the shot with the newspaper open, it cuts back to Lois and suddenly she has it folded over. (00:30:25)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Superman emerges from the smoke and rubble after smashing Doomsday down with reentry, he is mortally injured and his suit is tatted, torn, and burnt. The shoulders are notably torn and his left shoulder looks burnt. Then after Superman dies in Lois' arms, the camera pulls back and suddenly his suit is in perfect condition, aside from the missing cape. (00:26:45)

Factual error: Doomsday sees a little girl crying in the street and stops his assault on Superman to go attack the little girl. Superman quickly grabs Doomsday around the waist and jumps, rocketing them both up into space before Doomsday can crush her. The shockwave of this jump is seen as the tremendous force causes the street they were standing on to break apart and rubble fly. Yet the little girl is completely unaffected by the shockwave, it passes right through her and she is only feet away from the crater now left from Superman jumping up with Doomsday. (00:25:20)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Doomsday and Superman get out of the subway, Superman flies into him before the monster attacks more civilians. But Doomsday counters and smashes Superman into the ground. Superman is then trying to get up and is on his hands and knees. But the angle changes and suddenly he is on his side. Also the car beside Superman vanishes between shots. (00:23:45)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Doomsday throws Superman at a wall and pile of rubble. There is a red car stuck in this rubble. Doomsday then begins pounding on Superman's head and smashing him further into the wall. But in the shot where Superman falls out of the wall, the red car has vanished. (00:20:10)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Doomsday breaks through the ice and slams down on Superman, and when he blocks the attack, the ground cracks under Superman's feet and makes a hole. After Superman pushes Doomsday away and then Doomsday charges back, the same spot is visible. Suddenly the hole and cracks in the ground have vanished, the tank is suddenly closer to the rubble, and the buildings in the background have changed up, most noticeably the windows on the blue building.
