Re: The Man of Steel

Has everyone seen those Henry Cavill interviews on www.supermanhomepage.com
He reminds me a fair bit of Welling, but I can't help but see Superman talking! Albeit with a British accent! I'm really excited about this film!!! CANNOT WAIT!!!

Is Lex Luthor in this one? I hope he's a villain. I don't think he's in enough Superman movies.

Re: The Man of Steel

Sam Lane is responsible for the genocide of the New Kryptonians. He is the perfect xenophobic villain. Not to mention the direct Lois connection. Metallo has been an "origin" figure for Big Blue for decades. In every reboot since the Bronze Age he shows up to help figure out the details or strengths of Kryptonite. They did it perfectly in Smallville and the Animated Series. In Superman: Secret Origin there was even a Lex/government/Metallo connection.

As much as fans want Doomsday or Brainiac or Parasite but this is a real safe move in terms of a movie plot and or focus. Despite people not fully understanding it

I'm fine with Metallo. Anyone besides Lex is welcome at this point.

Actually when you see the poster like that all i can think of is oh boy this is going to suck. But I'm sure it will be fine.

Re: The Man of Steel

So Superman's General Sam Lane is basically Hulk's General Thunderbolt Ross and Metallo will be his Abomination?

Re: The Man of Steel

That poster isn't how I'd see the film, but it's a good effort - that's the Cinemaquette used as the body for Cavill.

Re: The Man of Steel

The poster is horrible, not that I could do much better, but the Cavill shots look horribly fake. Usually these fan posters are better than what we would get from the studios...

Yup Real Bad.

Hair is all wrong as well.

Michael Shannon is ____ing awesome. This is a brilliant casting decision. Cavill has his hands full if he's going to stand out as the lead around all these great actors. I've not seen the guy in anything since he's been grown up so I hope he's up for it.

Re: The Man of Steel

I'm not too familiar with Shannon's work but I have to say I am disappointed to hear this news. We have already seen Zod, is Hollywood so near sighted that they can't see past what has already been done, do they not realize that this is where Superman Returns dropped the ball? By covering already well traveled ground? Don't get me wrong this could still be a good movie but it has a lot to prove. and by traveling the same path as Donner they are not really doing anything special.

This is a stellar cast they are putting together, but as it stand right now the movie is going to rank ...meh

I happen to agree with that.

Re: The Man of Steel

Yep, even Batman Begins started with villians we have never seen before with Ras and Scarecrow. Zod is a weak choice.
