Affleck is the Dark Knight opposite Henry Cavill who returns as the Man of Steel.
Watch the tension as Clark Kent grills Bruce Wayne over “the Batman” while Affleck compares Superman to one of DC’s most infamous villains while Lex Luthor’s plans are revealed.
See the “other” villain and hero who bring the Sons of Krypton and Gotham together!
Man of Steel can soar to your home. It seems like I just saw Henry Cavill flying on the big screen.
Here’s what I said then about the Superman reboot:
Bringing a superhero like Superman into today’s world before today’s audience is a huge challenge so I commend the men and women behind Man Of Steel for taking this on. There are moments in the film I absolutely loved. It some ways it worked beautifully – in some ways I could only think, “That’s…not Superman.” Continue reading MAN OF STEEL Comes Home
Superman/Wonder Woman #1 was blockbuster mix of romance, suspense and action by Charles Soule and Tony Daniel. Clark and Diana’s clandestine date in the skies turned into a rescue mission.

Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire) plays Superman villain General Zod in Man of Steel. The indie actor known for his creepy roles is featured in this month’s GQ. Shannon was asked if Zod is pure evil or will the audience feel any empathy or sympathy for the revolutionary from a destroyed planet.
Comic book fans will get their first sample of the new SUPERMAN series by Scott Snyder and Jim Lee on Free Comic Book Day this May. A Superman story will appear in DC Comics’ gold-edition offering.
The issue will include the first part of “Last Son,” the 2006-2008 Action Comics story arc by Geoff Johns, Superman: The Movie director Richard Donner, and Adam Kubert, called as “a great jumping-on point for fans who can’t wait to see Warner Bros. Pictures’ Man of Steel major motion picture.”
This story reintroduced General Zod, the villain of Man of Steel.
As we celebrate the finale of The Dark Knight Trilogy, the success of The Avengers and the return of James Bond in in Skyfall in 2012, it’s time to look at some of the genre films that will thrill us in 2013.
Here are my most anticipated comic book films of 2013.
Hugh Jackman as The Wolverine courtesy Marvel and 20th Century Fox
The Wolverine Hugh Jackman plays the X-Man in his second solo movie based on the classic story by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. It’s Logan in Japan fighting Yakuka, Ronin, the Hand and The Silver Samurai! This film introduces three iconic women of Wolverine’s list of romantic conquests: Lady Mariko – daughter of crime lord, Yukio – the wild assassin who inspired Storm to get a mohawk, and Viper – ruthless terrorist leader. With James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma) directing from the classic source material, I think this film will be a showcase of action and great acting Jackman. Jackman and Wolverine are one of the greatest combining of actor and role ever.
Thor: The Dark World Chris Hemsworth as the Thunder God goes home again when a new threat targets Asgard! Malekith (played by former Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston) leads the Dark Elves on a quest for vegeance that threatens the Nine Realms. Adwele Akinnuoye-Agbaje plays another classic comic book enemy: Kurse. I hope to see a bigger role for Lady Sif (Jaime Alexander) and look forward to that bloody Shakespearean drama from Anthony Hopkins, Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston as Odin, Thor and Loki.
Iron Man 3 Marvel is injecting new creative blood (director Shane Black) and a classic enemy – Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin – in Tony’s third solo movie. The story is based on the classic Extremis story and introduces new armor including the Iron Patriot.
Man of Steel With a team like director Zach Snyder, producer Christopher Nolan and writer David Goyer will this darker, realistic Superman work the way Dark Knight did? Henry Cavill will face Michael Shannon as Zod and possibly more evil Kryptonians.
Star Trek: Into Darkness To boldly go where no franchise has gone before! J.J. Abrams rebooted the sci-fi classic by honoring the original series while moving forward at warp speed. Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise crew track a mystery villain (Benedict Cumberbatch) villain out to destroy the Federation.
