Superman Returns (2006)

Corrected entry: Why does gravity seem to be either on or off while on the airplane? Just leaving the atmosphere would not suddenly cause things to start floating as they do.

Correction: The weightlessness occurs when the plane hits the top of a parabolic arc and starts to head back down to earth. This is how they films zero-gravity scenes for movies.

Corrected entry: Lex states that the crystals just need water to grow meaning that the new land must be somehow made from water molecules. In that case the land is effectively solidified water, lifted out of the ocean, meaning the worldwide water levels would drop, not rise. None of the flooding could ever happen.

Correction: Just because the crystals grow when placed in water, doesn't mean the resulting structure is made from water. When you water a seed, the resulting plant is not made from solidified water. The crystal probably expands in size exponentially when it hits water.

Superman Returns (2006)

Corrected entry: In the scene when Superman pushes the Krypton continent into space his cape still has drops of water. Water freezes at high altitudes and in space.

Correction: It was established in the first Superman movie, and mentioned again in Superman Returns, that Superman's body is quite warm, which is how he can carry Lois above the clouds without her freezing. The water is being warmed by his body.
