While I'm not a huge Superman fan, I'm somewhat of a traditionalist, so making the Big Blue Boy Scout kill just seems like casual disrespect to the mythos. That said, in the real world, I agree that a Code vs. Killing is pretty stupid, and I always hated the way the Batman would keep locking up the Joker, knowing that sooner or later he's going to escape and kill a bunch of people again.

I did like the battles; I am a big fan of how SFX technology is finally making superhero movies actually look awesome instead of cheesy.

The "random badass colonel" is Christopher Meloni, of Law & Order: SVU fame. He was a surprise, and I liked him. Not such a fan of the sultry waifish Kryptonian chick.
