Man of Steel

Factual error: In the final scenes when Superman is fighting the enemies in Metropolis, even though half the city has been destroyed, the lights are still on in many buildings. In reality, the destruction of a few skyscrapers would be enough to trigger the shutdown of the electric substations that serve the city and all the lights would be off (as happened with Hurricane Sandy).

RoboKaren

Factual error: During the air-to-ground fight in Smallville, the 1st A-10 destroyed had DM on its rudder. DM is Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson. There is no way they could have made it to Kansas in time for the fight.

Movie Medic

Other mistake: The driver for the general at the end of the movie is referred to as captain, but is in the credits as Major Carrie Farris. (02:09:50 - 02:15:35)

Trivia: During the final battle between Kal-El and Zod, they shoot through a tanker truck that reads "LexCorp". The same logo is seen on the truck that drops Clark home after his time away. LexCorp is a company founded by Lex Luthor. (00:59:20 - 02:03:35)

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.
