Man of Steel soars into theaters this Summer. We know the Superman reboot will have the characters you expect (Lois, Perry, the Kents, Jor-El) but the film is still shrouded in secrecy much like the The Dark Knight trilogy. David S. Goyer talks with Total Film about the top secret project and how “dark” the Man of Steel will be portrayed:

What’s even worse? A small part of Peter Parker is trapped inside Octavius watching his arch-enemy live out his life, kiss his girl and reshape the Spider-Man legacy.
Dan Slott is guilty of turning Spider-Man Continue reading Is Spider-Man Superior?
