What's the deal w/ the meteorite in the very beginning of the movie??? My wife and I were talking about this lastnight and it's my guess that it was his ship when he was looking for Krypton. If I remember correctly Superman still needs to breath air to live and even he can't hold his breath for 5 years. Hence the Kryptonian meteorite/craft in the beginning of the movie.

Am I right?
 
You know the crystals Lex stole, well superman wanted them back right. Near the end when superman was lifting the landmass out of the ocean, kitty dropped the crystals out of the helicopter. They never concluded superman getting them back. Does he need them?
 
she probably told him that he needs to live because the kid is his... otherwise how did he know at the end of the movie, he never saw the kid near kryptonite and never saw any super power or anything, he was too busy checking out lois and pissing off cyclopse
 
Some of the post crisis comics stated that Superman can lower his heart rate to lower than a beat a minute, hold his breath for days on end, and go into a state of hibernation with little problems.
 
A ship probably has better navigation than Superman too. I'd like to see how Superman could fly to another galaxy and somehow find his way back to Earth. zomg /nerd
 
The GLC use stars to navigate, I think that Supes could do the same since he can fly around.

But he usually does travel across expanses of space via Motherbox or ship or wormhole.
 
He gets his power from the sun. The scene where he flys above the clouds and stays there for a few seconds was him "recharging."
I thought that he had dug far enough below the island to keep the kryptonite from affecting him and the island had kept growing because Kitty had thrown out the other crystals.
 
might be onto something about the other crystals.. but what I dont get is the kryptonite never touched him when he was carrying the rock. did it just drain all his powers since he got so close to it? (this was after he got stabbed of course)
 
no he doesnt need them, but they were collections of information about his home planet, abunch of other planets, and advanced technology. it was like valuable information and the only things that really connected him to Krypton

the only thing that i didnt really understand is the relationship that the movie leaves you with between Louis and Superman....like, wtf?!?!
he knows that you mothered his child, and your just going to look out for him? not raise him? dont you think that Clark would have died to have his true father there to help him? meh, i guess i understand it but its lame
 
You could say that its a parallel in the making.

Clark didn't know who his real father was until he was an adult. It was then that he learned his true potential.
