I haven't read many Superman comics. Was the codex from the comics, or just for the movie?

Yeah, small role for Juliani, and about two seconds for Penikett IIRC. Lois is seen showing him a photo of Clark in her search montage.

I've only been reading the new 52 for the most part. Haven't seen any mention of it there. But then again doesn't mean it hasn't been in earlier ones. Kal-El's heritage has changed over the years from Jor-El being a scientist, to he's the son of royalty, etc. So, wouldn't surprise me if this is something that was mentioned during one of the older origins.

I think the Codex is more a plot device. It gives Zod the motivation to seek out Clark and why he does what he did to Earth

I'm having the situation where everytime I think about MoS I begin to hum the John Williams theme.
So how long will it be before some intrepid editor out there adds in JW's theme over the whole film?

I couldn't tell you with any certainty because i've read exactly 2 Superman comics ever in my life, but I think it's an invention of the movie, as is most of the rest of the Krypton backstory from the movie.

My gf and I instantly turned to each other on that scene and we started snickering like Beavis and Butthead.

Is that why he was wearing a KC "Royals" tshirt at one point? It seemed out of place when I saw it, and I thought it might have been a reference, but wasn't sure.

It's the name of the major league baseball team in Kansas City.

I know that, but I thought it might also be an reference by Snyder alluding to his "royalty".

Oh sorry. I clearly can't get over the stereotype that geeks possibly don't know anything about jock activity. :lol
Related to that though - I've seen a lot people discussing "Easter eggs" which seem like quite a stretch to me. Not necessarily here but all over the interwebs.

The only two I saw were the "Lexcorp" logo on the side of one of the semis and the Wayne Enterprises logo on the satellite that Zod and Superman destroy in their final confrontation

There is a moment where Henry's face morphs into Christopher Reeve (subtle...but there) and a Christopher Reeve "Clark Kent" on the sidewalk as Henry rides by on his bicycle..(possible?)..

Except that he has killed him once in the 75 years, and indirectly killed another character named Zod within the last 15 years. Its not new, plus all the times he attempt to have a final solution for doomsday says that he is not averse to killing if the situation warrants it, but in most cases it is avoidable. But not always.
