Story

• The book is a movie tie-in and is, therefore, basically the same as the film with minor changes that come with artistic license. However, two major changes significantly deviate from the film— Superman not having a shard of kryptonite inside him as he throws the kryptonite island into space and Jason's non-linkage to Superman.
• Superman retaining his powers even with a piece of kryptonite inside him is a hot topic that puts consistency into question, as evidenced by the talk pages.
• Jason's real identity is a fertile ground for a sequel.

Media translations

• Marv Wolfman dated his Acknowledgments 12/15/05. The screenwriters may have made changes after said date (assuming Marv Wolfman finished the novelization on said date). Since the book is published 27 days earlier than the film opening, it is possible that the "major details" are deliberately changed to keep the surprises intact.
