The 3 villains from Krypton were apparently knocked off the Fortress into the ice (sea??), never to be seen again. Can it be that Superman violated his oath never to destroy life? (Yes, I realize that there were any number of inconsistencies between the movie and the comic books, but this one seemed like a biggee.) Since the TV version went to the trouble of having Luthor carted off by the authorities (BTW, whose authorities WERE they??), they could as easily have had the Kryptonian bad guys carted off as well. Seems like a loose end that the movie decided to ignore rather than deal with. -- Jim ..!houxm!hou2b!sims
