     If no one's ever used the Super Paw Punch, how is it so well known that PB has heard of it? 
     If Superman has super hearing, why can't he hear the animals speak English? 
  • You'd think at least he would be able to hear them talking since he has super hearing...
    • While Superman can certainly hear the animals, he doesn't get a Universal Translator ability in most continuity. To him, he's just hearing regular animal noises.
    • Interesting fact: in the comics Speaks Fluent Animal is actually one of Wonder Woman's powers (it's never confirmed that she has it in the movie, but it's technically never exactly denied either)
    • Super-Hearing and Speaks Fluent Animal are two completely unrelated powers, and one doesn't follow from the other.
    Why didn't Ace's former family have a baby gate over the stairs? 
  • They did. In Ace's flashback the gate is visible, but it's been left open.
    Does Krypto actually have a secret identity? 
  • Obviously it's believable that most people wouldn't recognize him as the same dog, as the human eye is inherently face blind to animals. But does Clark call him by some other name when they're not in costume? Or does nobody find it suspicious that Clark Kent and Superman both have dogs with the same name?
    • It doesn't come up in the movie, but pre-Crisis Clark called Krypto "Skip" in civilian mode (he also had a wood-stain spot on his back which he could burn off with his heat vision when needed)
    • Post-Crisis, the closest thing Krypto has to a secret identity is when Superman decides to let him live with Jimmy Olsen, who gives him the name "Pal". It doesn't come up much these days because it's generally assumed that Krypto spends most of his time when he's not out being a Superdog either living in the Fortress of Solitude and being tended to by Superman robots or living with the Kents in Smallville (assuming they're around), where secret identities wouldn't be necessary.
