and casts are only getting bigger and bigger. As a result, some of the simple mistakes and

errors that would normally be caught in editing are slipping through more than ever. And as

audience grow more and more excited to see their favorite heroes on screen, some massive

mistakes have gone completely unnoticed. Here are Screen Rant’s 10 Huge Mistakes in Superhero

Movies.

General Zod’s Faulty Clock

Although Man of Steel star Clark Kent spent his entire life keeping his alien heritage

a secret from the world, General Zod spills his secret to every corner of the world. When

the Kryptonian first arrives at Earth, he broadcasts a message in multiple languages

around the globe, telling people in America and Asia that "they are not alone." Seeing

people huddled around their campfires or TVs, and learning that an alien lives among them

is a powerful image, but all the scenes being set at night, no matter which side of the

planet they're on doesn't quite add up. Since the message of the scene is to unite all of

Earth in fear, fans will likely be willing to overlook it.

Turned Around Tumbler

Christopher Nolan isn’t afraid of leaving a few errors in his films since the thrills

or twists they bring with them are usually worth it in the end. In the case of his re-imagined

Batman, the director bet that audiences would be too thrilled to see the new Dark Knight

in action – along with his signature set of wheels – to notice a few major mistakes.

During Bruce’s first test drive of the camo-patterned Tumbler, he brings the vehicle to a dramatic

stop with a sudden slide. But a closer look reveals that Bruce turns the wheel hard left

to stop, while the car ends up sending the car sliding to the right before stopping instead.

Making eagle-eyed viewers wonder just how difficult the vehicle must be to pilot.

Crowded Chase

When Batman finally takes his new Tumbler into the field, a Gotham City Police pursuit

has him cornered atop a large parking structure. With cops swarming, Nolan clearly hoped audiences

would be too excited or caught up to notice the massive group of crew members and camera

men on set, completely exposed by a police chopper’s searchlight. And he was probably

right.

Wolverine’s Faulty Skull

When Wolverine and Rogue pay a visit to Bobby a.k.a. Iceman's family in X2: X-Men United,

the mutant's brother calls the police, ambushing the entire group on the house's front porch.

A jumpy police officer drops Wolverine with a bullet to the head, taking the situation

from bad to worse. Fans knew that Wolverine’s healing factor would bring him back to the

fight in no time, but the actual shot doesn’t make much sense considering the nearly-invincible

hero’s usual fighting skills. The first question is how the bullet managed to lodge

itself in his head in the first place: a skull made of indestructible Adamantium means the

bullet should have glanced off harmlessly, instead embedding itself in the millimeter

of skin on his forehead. Why he was knocked unconscious doesn’t make sense either. Despite

making his claws and bones unbreakable, is the same metal useless at protecting his brain?

Of course, there’s always the chance that the cop was firing Adamantium bullets – but

that seems like a long shot.

Shield Logic

Once Steve Rogers finally starts to prepare for field work during the first Captain America,

he stumbles upon a prototype of his famous vibranium shield. Described as “completely

vibration resistant”, it succeeds in not deflecting bullets, but stopping them dead

in their tracks. It isn’t just bullets, either. In The Avengers, its invulnerability

is tested, stopping even Thor’s hammer, directing his godlike attack into a massive

shockwave. Unfortunately, in the effort to make the Winter Soldier sequel a more grounded

and realistic adventure, the strengths of Cap’s shield flew completely out the window.

Not only was Steve able to use his shield to deflect bullets at his enemies, but kicks

and punches were able to knock him around, and a single RPG sent him tumbling through

the air.

A Shifting Pentagon

Considering just how much X-Men: Days of Future Past deals with time travel and re-writing

history, plenty of inaccuracies can be explained away as slightly different in the alternate

timeline. – although we’re fairly certain that in all realities, the Pentagon is technically

located in Arlington, Virginia, not Washington D.C. as the movie claims.

A Rogue Kitty

Most fans know that the original cut of the movie had the team of future X-Men seeking

help from Rogue after an unconscious Wolverine mortally wounded Kitty Pryde. With Kitty’s

health failing, Rogue was brought in to absorb her power, and take over. In the end Kitty

was simply shown to tough it out in the finished version, but the filmmakers didn’t remove

the previous storyline completely. When a wounded Magneto slides to the ground as the

final battle reaches its conclusion, Kitty is supposed to be maintaining the link to

the past, but can just be spotted slumped on the floor next to him.

Extremis Measures

Not every Marvel fan was happy to see Tony Stark separated from his signature armor in

Iron Man 3, but his gift for invention and careful planning showed he was a threat with

or without his suit. Even so, the filmmakers may have turned a blind eye to a few mistaken

details. The brilliant Doctor Maya Hansen threatening to inject a syringe carrying “1200

cc” – an amount equal to 1.2 litres – is an odd mistake for her character to make,

but it wasn’t the movie’s only inaccuracy.

Tennessee Express

Iron Man 3’s questionable math continues when Tony realizes his suit in Tennessee has

finally been powered online, asking the henchmen on hand exactly what distance the armor pieces

need to travel to reach him. The suit bursts in just minutes later: a major problem once

fans start doing the math. The payoff is worth it, but the idea that the pieces could travel

around 7,000 mph proves comedy beat out actual physics in this case.

Identity Crisis

For all its action, the first Thor movie served to prove one point: that godly power was a

gift, not a privilege, and that the Asgardian hero needed to learn some humility. He learned

his lesson in the end, saving his father and kingdom from his brother’s betrayal. Once

Loki was beaten, the would-be king chose to fall into a wormhole in space, eventually

making his way to the villain Thanos, and back to Earth to fight The Avengers years

later. But his family mourned him all the same, with Thor taking a private moment to

tell Odin that he could never be as good a king as his father. The sentiment is returned

to at the end of Thor: the Dark World, when Odin asks Thor if he still believes that the

father should rule, and not the son. It’s a subtle callback for the die-hard fans, but

there’s one problem: the film ends by revealing that it isn’t Odin on the throne, but Loki

in disguise. A slip-up on the writer’s part is likely to blame, since there’s no way

Loki should know about the pair’s conversation as he was drifting through space. Some might

argue he was eavesdropping from across the universe, but we like to think Loki has better

ways to spend his time.
