But they wanted the wilhelm scream and the moment between Clark and Lois. And I do think there was poignance to Clark being forced to kill someone for the first time, even aside from it being the last of his kind, until Kara Zor-El shows up (if you saw the wal-mart comic, you'll understand what I mean. If you didn't...they showed an empty pod on the scout ship during the movie. That was hers.

Perhaps more importantly, it opens the door for the Death of Superman...

Heh, I thought the same thing about the clothes stealing part. And I have zero problem with him killing Zod. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

Even though I loved his movies, I've never been for the whole "never kill anyone" logic that Nolan used with batman.

And he didn't choke him out, he broke his neck. Not something you exactly have to "learn".
