	1) Why does he have to lose his powers if he falls in love with a human?

I thought it was obvious.  Read Larry Niven's "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex"
for an explanation.

	2) How did he get his powers back?

Lois moved that green crystal before Supes went into the machine. The fact
that that crystal was not in place changed the effect of the machine so that
the power loss was reversable.

	3) Why is he hurt when the Kryptonian bad guys throw various objects
	   (particularly the bus) at him. If I recall my comic books correctly
	   these objects could only hurt him if they were made from Kryptonian
	   materials

You are correct.

        4) Why didnt Superman or some earthling think of defeating the bad guys
	   by exposing them to Kryptonite?

For the same reason that throwing a bus at Superman hurts him and the
Kryptonians developed new powers whenever they needed them: the scriptwriters
don't give a damn about logic or consistency.
