Superman under arrest? Warner Brothers revealed a brand new poster of Man of Steel. The Last Son of Krypton (played by Henry Cavill) is seen in handcuffs and escorted by a military unit.
What does it mean? Will the new Man of Steel trailer seen with The Hobbit reveal more?
In past DC Comics storylines – the public and government have turned against “metahumans” or maybe General Zod’s actions in the film are so destructive Earth turns against all Kryptonians.
Henry Cavill (Immortals, The Tudors) plays Superman in Man of Steel next year. Zach Snyder directed. Christopher Nolan produced. Fans wait in anticipation.
How will the styles Snyder (300, Watchmen) and Nolan (The Dark Knight Trilogy) bring to the project impact the DC Comics icon. The British actor talks about the new version of Superman with Details:
“I don’t mean anything against the movies and TV shows that have come before, because they were of their time, but this is epically cool. People in the past have criticized the character for being a bit chocolate-box, a bit vanilla, and this is not that—at all. The lore is there that we’re drawing from, but to create something from that which is reflective of life today—that’s the trick.”
A new Man of Steel trailer will appear before The Hobbit. Man of Steel opens the Summer in 2013.
The Hobbit will be the gift that keeps on giving to geeks this holiday season! The first 9 minutes of Star Trek: Into Darkness will screen on select IMAX screenings of Peter Jackson’s new film. Now Warner Brothers announced a new Man of Steel trailer will screen with The Hobbit in 2-D and 3-D.
“It’s fun. I can’t wait for ‘The Hobbit,’ so it will be fun to see our crazy ‘Man of Steel’ trailer and then enjoy the Hobbit because that’s going to be great,” Snyder told MTV News. “It just feels like a fun Christmas thing to do, drag the whole family out for that action.”
The director of the Superman reboot is praising his two leading men: Henry Cavill and Michael Shannon:
“Shannon is great, he has such great enthusiasm and dedication constantly,” Snyder said the actor playing Zod. “You can imagine that you could get actors who go, ‘Oh right, it’s Zod, it’s not 100 percent serious,’ or [you can play it] slightly with a wink, there is none of that with him. His effort is to make it realized and to understand this character and what he has to go through, so you have that on one side and you have Henry, who basically is Superman, on the other side and that dynamic.”
“I was just incredibly fortunate to play with those guys who really were giving all they had to bring a level of commitment to the scenes they have together so that audiences will get an opportunity to really have their heroes taken seriously,” he said. “As serious as I was taking it, and I don’t mean that from a depressing kind of way but from a, ‘This is important and fun and needs to be given the respect that it deserves,’ from that perspective it was so exciting to watch them drink the Kool-Aid of that concept and go all the way.”

Tony Daniel will be taking over Action Comics (with writer Andy Diggle) so this is a perfect opportunity to see how he will handle the Man of Steel. Daniel really shines with this Wonder Woman and his ferocious take on the Cheetah!
Superman will soar again on the big screen next year as part of the hero’s 75th Anniversary. Zach Snyder is in post-production on Man of Steel now and talks with the L.A. Times Hero Complex about the tone of the film.
“It’s a more serious version of Superman. It’s not like a heart attack. We took the mythology seriously. We take him as a character seriously. I believe the movie would appeal to anyone. I think that you’re going to see a Superman you’ve never seen before. We approached it as though no other films had been made. He’s the king-daddy. Honestly that’s why I wanted to do it. I’m interested in Superman because he’s the father of all superheroes. He’s this amazing ambassador for all superheroes. What was it about him that cracked the code that made pop culture embrace this other mythology? What we‘ve made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It’s been an honor to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes. I wanted to be sure the movie treated it respectfully.”
Superman and Wonder Woman shared a passionate kiss in Justice League #12 but this February Clark and Diana aren’t the only lovers to watch out for DC Comics revealed.
