You could even have a whole subplot of a movie dealing with denizens of Earth becoming aware that kryptonite even exists and having a MacGuffin chase for the thing, with multiple characters being killed to obtain it.
2) Does a lot more than kill Superman. Post-Crisis they depicted kryptonite as being an alien fuel source left over from a kryptonian superweapon's effect on krypton's core. I say you make it clear that it can actually fuel things like Metallo and is highly responsive. I also like the idea that it can poison and kill humans over time, making it more of a nightmarish super-radioactive element.
3) Does not appear in the first movie. Superman and Zod should be enough of a smackdown for us to avoid insta-kill glowing green rocks.
I say you attach it to Brainiac's ship in the second movie and have him be the excuse for it's transport.

Bingo. I echo these sentiments.
As excited as I am for MOS, I may be even more excited about the sequel possibilities - bringing characters like Brainiac to life in cinematic fashion for the first time ever... it just has to happen. No one better than Snyder to tackle that on a visual level, too. Fingers crossed.
