Quotes
Jor-El:

Goofs
During the plane/shuttle rescue scene, the ground control radar picks up Superman as he flies in to the rescue. The crew-member at that station reports a bogey (an unknown contact, in this case Superman) coming in from the North. When the camera shows us the relative positions, it is obvious the contact is closing in from an East by South-East (approximately 4 o'clock) direction.
Crazy Credits
The opening credits are seen in a trip through space, from Krypton to Earth, in a manner reminiscent of the Superman (1978) opening credits sequence.
Alternate Versions
In the IMAX presentation, four scenes (totalling about 20 minutes) were converted from 2D to 3D: The flashback to Clark Kent's youth on the farm, the Shuttle/777 rescue, the rescue of the sinking ocean liner, and the final flyover before the credits. Bryan Singer developed a cue featuring an icon of Clark's glasses flashing in green at the bottom of the screen when it is time to put them on, and then with a red circle/slash over when it is time to take them off.
