Superman Returns/Fridge

Fridge Logic

 * In the museum exhibit, there's a chemical makeup given for the Kryptonite meteorite. Would it really have been that hard for the genius Lex Luthor to synthesize his own?
 * One wonders if that list includes "tar".
 * Kitty dumps out the extra crystals Lex had planned on using. He couldn't get them in time before the rock they were on fell into the water. Shouldn't they have repeated the "new continent" thing?
 * It is never made clear (or even suggested) that all of Superman's crystals cause the "new continent" thing. The crystals Lex was carrying around were Superman's information crystals - like the hard drives for the fortress of solitude computer. It would make sense if the "new continent" crystal was a one of a kind crystal Lex had somehow made using the technology in the fortress.
 * Lex vaguely described how he was going to keep the world's governments off his back, but from what we see, there was little chance of that happening. It was him, his girl, and three goons. They didn't even have food and water, much less a reconstructed high-tech civilization. A single U.S. Army chopper with a single squad of soldiers could have dispatched them with ease.
 * Another righteous kill for SEAL Team 6!
 * That U.S. Army chopper -- and its comrades -- would, like most of the world's militaries, be a bit more pressed in dealing with the massive natural disasters and humanitarian crises that would result from a completely new continent restructuring the face of the planet and devouring most of the pre-existing continents, causing entire cities to collapse and entire nations to fall apart in the process to worry about five people on the new continent.
 * The US military has several million people, even in the middle of a huge disaster it can spare ten of them to go shoot the asshole who deliberately dropped the disaster on us if he's stupid enough to stand out in the open and completely undefended and thus reduce the time and effort requirements of the mission down to 'travel time plus fifteen seconds'.
 * Actually, if he's standing out in the open we can reduce the effort required to 'one drone strike' or 'one cruise missile', and neither of those would have any other calls on their time during a disaster relief mission anyway.
 * Alternately--it was a stupid plan and Luthor hadn't really thought it through.
