What I want to know is why would Clark be wrapping a makeshift towel/blanket around him as a cape? If you think about it, kids didn't wear capes for play until AFTER Superman, right? He's the one who ushered in that entire era of cape popularity! And Clark is not shown all the stuff from his ship until long past his boyhood years.

Did they change this or is it just an oversight?

I had the same thought. Perhaps there are alternative superhero comics kicking around that world though...

Maybe Kid Clark is a huge Justice Society fan?

"You have to keep this side of yourself secret"
"What was I supposed to do? Let them die?
"...maybe."

What the hell?

[Zulithe]

New trailer is pitch perfect. I'm more excited for this than i was for The Dark Knight Rises.

[The Stryker]

Cautiously optimistic. It looks good so far but I really hated Dark Knight Rises. So that cloud is still there.

DKR is awesome because it pisses off self-entitled Bat-purists who fear change and reinterpretation. Just as MOS is gonna be awesome because it'll probably piss off self-entitled Superpurists who fear change and reinterpretation.

Sure, that was the reason the movie was a big "meh"

Which in my opinion is a bigger crime then being a terrible movie.

I couldn't care less about the changes. It's a Batman property, changes are part of the fun.

I just didn't like that it was an inconsistent mess of a movie.

Is it me or does Super-man still look like a shrimp??
The movie looks pretty good overall, hopefully it will deliver!

I have a feeling were only catching a small bit of the dialogue, I could easily see this scene turning into one of those great Pa Kent inspiration moments. I don't think it will play out the way its coming across.

The new trailer is pretty good. I spent a bit of time talking to Stryker about this. We're both big Superman fans, and I know I'm cautiously optimistic. It looks great, and the dude looks like the closest interpretation of Supes that's hit celluloid.

It looks like Superman is actually doing stuff--Striking, I know, considering the last movie just had him hanging out on a boat.

I'm excited to see how the Boardwalk Empire guy comes off as Zod, for sure. He's been a great foil for Steve Buscemi's shady character, I'm wondering how he'll do as the foe to someone actually heroic, etc.

The "Maybe.." makes sense, to me. It seems like something a protective father would think. But like people have mentioned, its probably just a partial thought.

New trailer looks good, I can't wait to see this movie

Supes don't really need to look buff to be a super strong guy. He can bench press 5.972 sextillion metric tons, at that point, I don't think he need to look like Schwarzenegger or even a 40's construction worker.

[Garfield]

can't wait until this comes out.

[Lampy]

saw the trailer and it got me psyched for this movie even more. greatest part about the trailer... it barely gave anything away. all the more mystery the better once we get to the seats. june 2013 needs to come sooner.

Here's my remix: "Man of Iron"

Entertainment Weekly recently had the chance to sit down with the cast and crew of upcoming summer blockbuster Superman: Man Of Steel. During the interview,director Zack Snyder chimed in when asked if Kryptonite would play a role in the film...

"The emotional weakness that Cavill brings up is also a point that director Zack Snyder mentioned about the film, in response to "Will we see Kryptonite in the movie?"

"I'll be honest with you," said the director. "There's no Kryptonite in the movie. It's all emotional Kryptonite."

Last night, a whole slew of new photos for Man of Steel were revealed by Entertainment Weekly. The upcoming Superman reboot is the cover story for their latest issue and they spoke to the cast and crew about the film in their extensive article.

"Imagine what it would be like to be someone like Clark Kent/Kal-El," said star Henry Cavill, "and feel like a stranger amongst even those that you love, never developing full relationships with people for fear of them discovering how much of a freak you are. Even you don't understand exactly what you are. It's just a lonely existence. With someone who has that much power and responsibility. Although he is not susceptible to the frailties of mankind, he is definitely susceptible to the emotional frailties."

The emotional weakness that Cavill brings up is also a point that director Zack Snyder mentioned about the film, in response to "Will we see Kryptonite in the movie?"

"I'll be honest with you," said the director. "There's no Kryptonite in the movie. It's all emotional Kryptonite."

While it sounds like there will be plenty of 'emotional Kryptonite' in the film, the new photos make the film's antagonists (Michael Shannon's General Zod and Antje Traue's Faora) out to be a great physical match for Superman as well.

"He actually has some affection for anybody who's a Kryptonian," Shannon said of his character. "Including Superman. He doesn't really have any malignant feelings toward him; he just wants him to be patriotic."



Antje Traue's character on the other hand will be a little less subtle. "Faora is a psychopath. She is an engineered being, and driven by the need and pleasure of killing."



This does seem to fit the new interpretation the filmmakers have created for the character's mythology, as David Goyer says most babies on Krypton aren't born, they're engineered.



"People were bred to be warriors or scientists or what-have-you, and there's a whole element in the movie about nature versus nurture. Kal-El is unique among Kryptonian babies because he's a natural conception, free from genetic manipulation to choose his own course in life --- which also makes his existence highly illegal."



One thing that many fans can't stop wondering about is if this film will lead into the long rumored Justice League movie, and the film's producer seems to indicate it will pave the road for future films.



"It's setting the tone for what the movies are going to be like going forward," said producer Chris Roven. "In that, Man of Steel is definitely a first step. Nolan's Dark Knight series was deliberately and smartly positioned as a stand-alone. The world the films lived in was very isolated, without any knowledge of other superheroes. What Zack and Chris have done with this film is allow you to really introduce other characters into the same world."



Not an outright indication one way or the other, but screenwriter David Goyer was more open to teasing if we'll see any references to other DC characters in the film.



"I would love to tell you yes or no, but I think it's going to be more exciting for people to keep a beady eye out and find what they can find."



In the action adventure, starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni, Russell Crowe, Michael Kelly, Harry Lennix and Richard Schiff, a young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind. Man of Steel opens in 2D, 3D, and IMAX theaters June 14.

The movie now has a run time of 148 Minutes

[Slade]

Didn't know this thread was here. So anyway, I was super stoked when I first heard about this movie. Then I saw the suit and hated it. I wasn't as excited anymore. It's grown a good bit on me recently and as of late I can't wait till June. I'll prolly catch hell for this, but I've been waiting for a great Superman movie for a good while, I don't like the others all that much. I think Reeves was a crappy Supeman. and I don't even consider Returns.


So here's hoping Sndyer and Cavil knock this out the park!
