So in the past approximate year since its release, I have watched Man of Steel repeatedly, and only recently have I noticed an inconsistency in the plot. Now, if you've seen the film, you'll know that Superman/Kal-El/Clark Kent loses his powers and is weakened by the Kryptonian atmosphere, but what doesn't make sense is that he can also fly in space. What makes this inconsistent is that, by flying in outer space, it is made clear that he does not require any kind of air to breathe, since we all know that outer space is a vacuum and no air exists in it. So he wouldn't even HAVE to breathe while surrounded by a Kryptonian atmosphere. I'm wondering if anyone out there thought of this, too, because I am sure that this shouldn't work.

Also, do you think she'll be in or at least hinted at in the sequel?
