Then, in the movie Superman Returns, Superman harms his hands in his attempt to launch a large mass of Kryptonite, his only weakness which drains his body of vital energy, away from Earth. This also saves the lives of thousands of people and animals from the massive cracking and earthquakes occurring due to the chemicals presence on Earth.

Ironically, the news gets delivered to them while the children play on the beach a place of enjoyment and often times a place for family bonding. Snicket chooses to utilize these associated ideas by ripping a family in half to show how the Baudelaire children have had their world turned upside down much like the beach.
