violence

There are some fight sequences, featuring punches and other blows. The strongest scenes show a woman being thrown to the ground by a villain, banging her head, and Superman being beaten up by villains when his superpowers are removed.

threat and horror

There are a number of scenes in which people are threatened, including a scene in which Superman intervenes in the robbing of a bank and scenes in which he saves passengers from a plane and a ship in distress.

language

There is some mild bad language, including 'piss' and 'crap, and an unfinished use of 'shit'.

sex

There is some mild sexual innuendo, for example when people misunderstand a reference to a female journalist having already 'done' Superman, and when a woman is dismissed as a 'hooker'.

injury detail

There is brief sight of an injury to Superman after he is stabbed with a shard of Kryptonite, although it is not gory.

alcohol and smoking

Superman stops a woman from smoking. A villain smokes a cigar.
