Continuity mistake: The writings on the note Lois faxes to the Daily Planet (with the coordinates) change from when she writes it to when Jimmy sees it through his camera. For example, the 'N' is much smaller and the 'P' is fatter in the faxed version. (01:31:45)

Continuity mistake: After the plane has landed in the stadium and Superman is checking if the passengers are all okay, note the speaker's glasses. They alternate between being very crooked to being perfectly straight. (00:41:15)

Visible crew/equipment: When Lois pulls up to the house where the blackout was traced to, she hears some music coming from the boat down at the dock. As the camera pans upwards over the car, as she steps out, the whole camera and a crew member are reflected in the side of the car.

Question: If the crystal grows when it is dropped into water, whatever happens to all the chunks that fall off the new continent as Superman lifts it out of the ocean? Wouldn't they simply continue to grow and begin the crisis all over again?

Julie Wegner

Chosen answer: The chunks that fall off the "new" land are actually bits of the earth's crust. Superman had actually drilled himself way beneath the "new" land (under the bottom of the ocean floor) so that he was not in contact with the Kryptonite infected crystal land, so that he could lift it up and get rid of it. It is this earth crust that falls off slowly, revealing the kryptonite crystals beneath, and this is why his strength slowly gets taken away as he flies higher, until there is too much exposed and he loses all his strength.
