Yeah, the Fortress part was full of WTF moments. Supes' ability to drain Kryptonians of their powers, his ability to be in four places at once (and one a crystal statue?), and that plastic thing he ripped off the S on his chest and threw at Nonn..... It's all akin to the Wolverine movie, where about two thirds of the way through, they were like "Hey! This is a comic book movie! We've got to do outlandish stuff and blow a ton of shit up!"
I guess the thing that intrigues me about Zod possibly being portrayed by Mortensen (other than Viggo being a fantastic actor) is Nolan himself, along with Snyder. I'm a fan of both (I may be in the minority of Snyder fans), and I love what Nolan did with the Joker. If, and it's a big IF, all these parts can come together properly, I feel like it could be a home run.
