A video was recently posted online showing inside the new Superman: The Art and Making of the Film book, revealing some new pieces of information.
Heat Vision is Light:
The artbook confirms that the VFX team specifically intended for heat vision to be real light:
This is consistent with James Gunn describing heat vision as laser beams:
"The fact that he can fly and lift buildings and shoot laser beams out of his eyes was really secondary to who he was as a person and what he stood for."
As well as the Daily Planet newspaper article glimpsed in the movie that was written by Clark Kent about the "Hammer of Boravia" stating that the "Hammer" used an "ocular laser strike".
This would grant heat vision users Light Manipulation and Speed of Light attack speed via heat vision.
Ultraman:
Ultraman is stated to use Filipino martial arts, Silat, and boxing moves, so I guess he gets Martial Arts. (Edit: 'Limited Martial Arts' seems to better reflect that a large portion of his combat ability is tied to him receiving commands)
The Engineer:
Actress statement: the Engineer can clone herself multiple times, so Duplication.
The Justice Gang:
Actor statement: The team has no clear leadership and is still figuring out their dynamic, though their strengths complement each other.
Green Lantern:
Hawkgirl:

Green Lantern:
- Light Manipulation (Green Lantern power rings transform green light into hard objects)
- Supernatural Willpower (Actor statement: using a Green Lantern power ring requires a sufficient amount of willpower, which Guy Gardner has in spades)
- T-Spheres: Invisibility (Actor statement: T-Spheres can cloak Mr. Terrific in invisibility and shield him from tech to render him undetectable)
- T-Craft: Spaceflight (Described as a spacecraft)
- Actor statement: Terrific is a polyglot and a polymath
Hawkgirl:
- Berserk Mode (Actor statement: uses a level of rage in combat that makes her less calculated and careful compared to Superman)
- Confirmed to be the youngest member of the Justice Gang
