This is the strangest and yet most brilliant movie promotion I've ever seen: Conan O'Brien throws down the gauntlet and asks anyone to answer the big question, "HOW DOES SUPERMAN SHAVE?"
Several experts, including Bill Nye, Mayim Bialik, and Kevin Smith, throw in their suggestions.
Me? I like the classic, simple way:

Nope. There's been multiple examples of his hair or facial hair growing out. See my current, new avatar.
Wait, figured it out.
Fake beard. Then he switched to glasses for his disguise. Shoulda stuck with the beard.

Hey, I'll take a beard or glasses over a mullet any day.
He can mentally will it to grow or recede!
ThatNickGuy - I dont read enough Superman to have ever seen the in canon issues of those situations, seen him 99% of the time with the same no beard, short haircut.

That will have to stop the moment Lois Lane... ahem... "stays for breakfast". Can you imagine what would happen if she walked in on Supes while he was shaving? Most likely wearing very little or nothing...?
One slip of the male gaze...
Yup. In fact, the comment section of that Bleeding Cool article has scores of people posting examples.
Kevin Smith's video also mentions it, but he says he doesn't like it as an answer.
Kevin Smith and I are no longer friends, then.
Well why should he? Laser vision is a stupid super power.
I have never seen Kevin Smith speaking so comfortably before.
You can totally reflect heat
Just checked my Man of Steel trade. In issue 4 he uses an electric razor to provide sound effects while he shaves using his heat vision and a piece of the rocket to reflect it onto his face.
Lois then proceeds to wonder how Clark Kent manages to keep in such great shape despite having such light dumbbells.

Now, how does he get his hair cut?
Won't be a problem for me. I don't know who that is.

The first time I ever saw this actor was "Boardwalk Empire".
Well, this movie just continues to look awesome.
I hope that does not bankrupt the company.

Me, too! Bonuses are in July! (Besides, we paid for this already by donating for jeans days & stuff like that.)
I live every day of my life like it's jeans day
Pfft, since I became unemployed, I refuse to wear pants of any kind.
Fight the oppression!
I'm concerned about the pacing of the movie. It seems like a lot happens, so I wonder if it'll feel rushed in parts.
1) Start on Krypton, introduce Jor-El and Zod, the war etc.
2) Supes goes to earth, get's found
3) Early life biograph. Discovering powers-questioning himself-traveling the world
4)Becomes superman- part with the military and meeting lois
5) Zod invades epic fights
seems like it could be a lot for 1.5-2 hours. I'm worried it'll be the first sections taking up most of the film while the fights at the end are kind of rushed in.
and it looks like...Jor El survives as well? That'll be interesting. I wonder if Krypton will even blow up at all, or just be destroyed in the post apocalypse sense.

Keep in mind that jor-el appears as a hologram in other media, so it wouldn't surprise me if the "hologram" is more perfect now.
As far as the first three items on your list, I expect they'll be told as flashbacks, rather than story and exposition, so they may take little time.
I'd like to see a little traveling.
But we'll find out soon enough...
