12 Comic Book Movie Mistakes You Can't Unsee
2. Jor-El Flashes His Cash - Superman
It's hard to blame Jor-El for flexing on them.
After all, the character is played by no less than The Godfather himself Marlon Brando, a pretty impressive get for any comic book movie but an insanely impressive piece of casting for the first major superhero film (sorry, Adam West's Batman).
But it's still a little jarring that this 1978 effort from future Lethal Weapon helmer Richard Donner features the Kryptonian elder placing baby Superman in his crib whilst wearing a Rolex.
Maybe he picked it up on a shopping excursion to earth? Maybe the planet's jewellers have a very similar design, there's a lot viewers aren't privy to about their culture.
