Continuity mistake: Seen from inside the train-driver's seat, the tunnel is darker and with lights on both sides, but a shot of the tunnel alone shows it brighter and with no lights on the left side. Then it cuts back to the previous angle and everything changes back.

Continuity mistake: When Superman is walking with the kid towards the UN, they pass by a fire hydrant and one can see the street ahead is empty. A shot later another hydrant suddenly appears but the white benches disappear.
Suggested correction: The fire hydrant in question is actually two. The one they first pass is slightly faded with chipped paint. The next shot you see a different one that is fully painted red. The next shot shows the crowd passing the first hydrant seen.
