By completely eliminating the moral code that drives Superman when he broke Zod's neck it kind of showed he didn't have a weakness - will be interesting to see how they expand on that in BvS though.

In the comics, Superman was also forced to kill Zod. He also kills Doomsday (they kill eachother). So there is a precedent for Superman being forced to kill an enemy that is too powerful and relentless to be left alive.
The movie didn't do a very good job of portraying the struggle involved in that decision though. He seemed to just callously break his neck and didn't seem overly remorseful after. In the comics Superman is so beat up that he puts himself in exile.
