Forget articulates in earth's atmosphere, Reeves Superman was effortlessly pushing the moon out of its natural orbit, creating wind vortexes with precision super-speed to cancel hurricanes, reversing time and collapsing complex wave functions into selected events out of multiple potential timestreams with his literally infinite Kryptonian power to propel himself at limitless speeds. Reeves Superman was better than pre-crisis Superman.
Returns Superman is a close second, taking a bullet to the eye, traveling at near the speed of light, taking billions of tons of Kryptonite into high orbit and chucking it into its own solar orbit due to a temporary boost of photo-voltaic Kryptonian powers, courtesy of the sun.

I'm not sure how those feats of Routh Supes stacks up against Cavill Supes. Getting shot by A-10 wart-hogs and a squad of soldiers while fighting 2 other kryptonians beats out a bullet to the eye, lol. Plus flying up and into the world machine should equal lifting that chunk of kryptonite.
It's a rivaling feat, certainly not more impressive.
The epidermis on one's face is about a millimeter and a half in width. The cornea on the eyeball is about half a millimeter and is a far more sensitive tissue. A pistol firing a relatively low caliber round at point blank range so as to crush the shell upon the cornea obviously is more impressive than high velocity shells ricocheting off his thicker, less sensitive facial epidermis, without pulverizing the shells, even with gravity at their back.
MOS was actively trying to avoid them whereas Returns Superman (who was faster in that he could catch up to bullets of similar velocity that had already been fired from miles away) was wholly unconcerned.
The atmospherical articulates were strongest directly under it, but it wasn't doing better than a large crater. Again; a feat similar to Returns Superman, especially considering the machine emitted an atmosphere detrimental to MOS's health, as Kryptonite would. However, when we're talking Kryptonite island, we're talking about a mass far exceeding MOS's even with excessive G's forces, even if they were increasing his mass millions of times over.

I see where you're going with this, I just believe that if you have 30 millimeter rounds (pretty sure A-10s use those) doing no visible damage to you, theres no reason you shouldn't be able to take a small calibre round to the eye also.
For the world engine and kryptonite island scenes, I find that as an equal feat because both were weakened from being in the proximity of atmosphere/kryptonite and still both accomplished their mission. We were never told how much gravity is strengthened by the world engine and we don't know how much that island weighed so I side with the equal feat perspective.
This feat alone is greater then any other Superman feat we have seen. He was stabbed in the side with kryptonite, had the shit kicked out of him by a group of thugs, tossed off a cliff for hundreds of feet lands in the water hard, almost drowns, gets a brief power up from the sun and tears through the earths crust with heat vision, then lifts an entire continent of krytponite while injured...then falls back to earth and crashes in Metropolis after falling from space...lives through it and fly's out of the hospital a few hours later like a boss..no other version comes close to this feat.
I mean after all that he lifts a giant continent of krytonite and flys it into space!! Thats friggen sick!!
Superman stomps this

Nothing compared to the probability manipulation demonstrated by the Original Movie Superman. He moved so fast he tapped into the FIFTH dimension. Refer to the Many Worlds Theory.
He EFFORTLESSLY moved the moon (astronomically heavier than Kryptonite island or himself with a few extra gravitons weighing him down) just to sap Solar of some of his energy. Collected millions of stockpiled nuclear warheads and disposed of them before the UN knew what hit them.
His energy output is basically infinite.

Pardon my ignorance but wouldn't a continent of Kryptonite within the earth atmosphere from the earths crust while very injured be a little more difficult then moving the moon while at full power out in space?
I mean comparing the two...one he moves the moon ok thats tough but hes Superman he should be able to do that.
Lifting an entire continent of millions of tons of krytponite (the thing he is most weakest to, even a small rock can render him helpless) yet he lifts a continent out from the earth crust.. that seems a like a bigger feat.
