3rd Oct 2013
Continuity mistake: As Superman is returning Lois to her apartment after rescuing her from Toyman, he goes to land on the balcony outside her room. It is first shown as small with only a table and one plant on it. But as soon as Superman lands, it is suddenly a lot bigger and a lot more stuff is on it. (00:39:25)
3rd Oct 2013
Continuity mistake: Trying to kill Lois and the little girl, Toyman uses his spider mech to slice the seats in the school bus in half. But when Superman catches the bus and sets it down safely, the seats are just fine, not cut or damaged at all. (00:37:50)
3rd Oct 2013
Continuity mistake: As Perry White is telling Lois to go visit with friends or family to ease the passing of Superman, there is paperwork pinned to the wall of her cubicle behind her. It cuts to a close up of her face, and suddenly the paperwork at least doubles. (00:30:45)
3rd Oct 2013
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Lex kills Tess, several shots of his desk, most prominently the silhouette of him shooting Tess through the window, show that he does not have any computer towers under the desk. Yet later when Dark Superman is walking into Lex's office and he confronts him about being out of character, there are now towers under the desk. (00:34:35 - 00:51:45)
3rd Oct 2013
Continuity mistake: Just before we see the TV broadcast of crime levels going up in Metropolis, we see a traffic light next to the electronics shop window. On it are Don't Walk signs, a One Way sign, and the street sign. Then as the camera pulls back when the thugs start stealing the TVs, the signs have vanished. (00:32:40)
18th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: The school bus on the building has caused some damage, right under the front wheel. Moments later when Toyman appears and the goes to the top of the bus in his spider mech, there's less damage under the wheel. Also the front wheel goes from looking like a 5 point star to a 7 point star. (00:35:40)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Lois and Perry are arguing in his office, and you see his door. The handle of the door is on the right side. But 30 minutes later in the film when they are talking there again, the door handle has switched to the other side. It's most noticeable when Perry says "easy to lose sight of I guess in a world without Superman." And then takes a drink. (00:03:20 - 00:33:35)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: As the camera is zooming in on the electronics shop, you can see the doorway and a welcome mat out front of it. But when the thugs break the window and start stealing TVs out of it, the doorway is barely visible, but the bottom half of it is now wall that connects the other sides, and the welcome mat has been cut down to a small little thing barely what it was. It then goes back to normal in the overhead shot. Also the building to the right of the electronics shop changes up in the overhead shot. (00:32:45)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Towards the beginning of the film, you see Clark pick up and then set down a picture of his mother down by his computer towers. Then 30 minutes into the film you see Lois look across over at that same picture after Superman's death and the computer towers change in design. (00:04:30 - 00:30:45)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Lois is reading a newspaper in her cubicle about the death of Superman, and there is a pencil on her desk on top of some papers. A few shots later when Perry White gets closer to her to tell her that Kent is probably fine, the pencil turns around facing a different direction, and the papers it is on move also. A stapler also suddenly appears next to her computer, and the brown book on the far end of her desk moves closer to her and turns around so the spine is facing the wall to Lois right and the pages facing her computer when it was the spine facing her computer first. (00:30:35)
14th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene showing Superman's funeral, there is a yellow guard rail around the memorial stand with his coffin in front of the podium. Standing in front of the yellow rail are 13 police officers in full uniform, 7 on one side and 6 on the other. The shot cuts to the audience for a moment, and then shows the podium and memorial again from a distance shot, and suddenly all the police standing by the coffin have vanished. (00:28:10)
14th Dec 2014
Revealing mistake: Doomsday drops Superman once he hears a little girl crying and walks up to her to try and smash her. As he is walking up, it shows a close up of the crying girl and she is wearing a pink shirt with denim overalls on. But look closely and you can see a mistake in how she was drawn. The straps of the overalls are incomplete and stop a few centimeters away from the buttons on them that are supposed to hold the straps in place, and the buttons are between the straps and her overalls, with a gap between the buttons and the front part as well. It's not connected at all and should be falling off her. (00:25:15)
12th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Doomsday has a bone spike protruding up from each of his 4 knuckles. But when Doomsday grabs Superman by the head and draws back to punch him hard in the face, the spike on his thumb is missing. Superman catches his fist, and in that shot you can see two more of the spikes have vanished, and Doomsday only has one over his middle knuckle. (00:23:55)
12th Dec 2014
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. Moments later after Jimmy takes a picture of the hole, the shot cuts to a far angle and now the hole is next to the crosswalk lines, and in that shot the stairway entrance to the subway station also vanishes. The road also becomes much wider with more lanes, and the red truck turns around. (00:22:40 - 00:23:25)
10th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: After Superman blasts Doomsday away from him in the Subway station, Doomsday grabs him by the leg and flings him to the other side of the tunnel, breaking a large hole in the wall. As he hits, you can see there is a subway exit on the same wall about a yard or so away from where Superman hits. But then when Doomsday leaps at him to continue his attack, the wall is suddenly solid where the exit once was. (00:22:50)
10th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: Doomsday leaps into the air and smashes Superman down into the ground, crashing down into a subway station. As they are hitting the floor, you can see the brown columns holding up the roof are almost to the edge of the walkway by the tracks and touches where the tan area of the floor changes to a light green color at the end. But then Superman shoots Doomsday back with his laser vision and Doomsday looks at him angrily, and now the columns have a good few feet between them and the edge of the walk way. (00:22:40)
10th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: When Superman throws Doomsday through a building, Lex Luthor is shown watching from his office from an over the shoulder view from his perspective. It then cuts to an angle from further behind him and suddenly an antenna appears on the building, and the design of the windows change. (00:22:10)
10th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: After Superman recovers from getting elbowed in the face, he knees Doomsday in the chin and then flips over him and throws him hard at a building. But if you watch closely, the building it shows him being thrown at is different than when it cuts to the next shot to the building he hits and goes through. In fact it the building he hits looks more like the building off to the left of the one that he was thrown at. (00:22:05)
10th Dec 2014
Continuity mistake: After Superman saves Lois and Jimmy in the chopper, he and Doomsday get into a fist fight for a moment, Superman getting a few good hits off, followed up by Doomsday spinning and slamming Superman in the face with his elbow. The shot cuts to a different angle as Superman staggers away and falls, and suddenly the number of spikes on Doomsday's shoulder goes from 4 to 1. (00:22:00)
28th Nov 2014
Continuity mistake: When Superman sets down the chopper, there is a building behind them with some people standing around. It cuts to a very brief shot of inside the chopper as Lois removes her seat belt and then cuts back to outside the chopper, and suddenly the people standing around have moved. Also the air intake on top of the chopper changes shape and goes from a lighter blue to darker blue. The damage to the windshield becomes more extensive between shots, the glass part on the bottom of the front of the chopper goes from being two parts to one solid part, and the broken landing leg changes from a light blue to being white like the body of the chopper. (00:21:25)
