*****POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!***** Jonathan Kent dies, Clark is fully grown at the time, but not yet Superman. Zod does not kill Jonathan, although in the original script he did. Zod does kill several military personnel and civilians in the movie. The loss of life gravely effects Superman. The robots, except for the main guard, are disposed of very easily. If you’re expecting a huge scene with Superman fighting all these robots you will not get it. They’re all taken care of at one time – and very easily – using his heat vision. He is called Superman in the movie, but not at first, he’s called “the alien” originally. Lois is the first to call him Superman, and the name catches on. He learns of his origins in different ways. Jonathan is the first to tell him where he came from after his powers start to show up. After discovering his hidden ship, Jonathan tells Clark more about his origins and gives him the key that was found with it. Clark also triggers a hologram message from Jor-El using the key that explains details about his home world. Later in the film after Clark opens up the fortress, he talks with another hologram of Jor-El and discovers the suit and how it works and the source of his powers on earth. Faora is killed by Zod. The prison planet is an actual planet. It’s smaller though and described as something like a moon to another planet, although very far away from Krypton itself. A scientific explanation is given for all Superman’s powers, and it grounds this movie and makes it feel even more real, or as real as a movie about a super powered alien can be. There’s a huge twist at the end of the movie I found this just mooching round the web and don;t know who it is from and if it is reliable etc, but it does make for some semi interesting reading. Most of it can be attributed to educated guesses really. I am actually really intrigued with what they're going to do with the Jonothan Kent character, having signed up a huge star to play him. I'm hoping they take advantage of the fact that Costner is still a massive talent and use him appropriately. Will he have the traditional heart attack in Clarks teen years? Or will he play a larger role in this take on the mythos. I'd like to see Pa Kent going down defending the homestead old school style, protecting the farm and family with a shotgun. Hopefully they can use whatever happen to him to propel Supes to as yet unseen levels of pissed off-ed-ness!
