Superman goes dark in brand new 'Man of Steel'

posted 19 Jul 2012, 00:23
Superman is ready for action...after he does some contemplating.

We've already seen brief glimpses of the hero, but the new Superman is looking his most iconic in the brand new "Man of Steel" poster revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con.

It looks more in line with "The Dark Knight" than any previous Superman films, with a mostly-silhouetted Superman looking down in a thoughtful, perhaps god-like pose. The simple and surprisingly dark poster was posted to the film's official Facebook page.

Take a look at the bold poster here:

The "Man of Steel" panel, featuring star Henry Cavill and director Zack Snyder ("Watchmen," "Suckerpunch," "300"), also included brand new, exclusive footage of the reboot. It'll be Supes' first time on the big screen since Bryan Singer's 2006 "Superman Returns," starring Brandon Routh as Kal El.

Read Drew McWeeny's live-blog of the panel here.

The film also stars Michael Shannon as Zod, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Ma and Pa Kent, and Russell Crowe as Jor-El. "The Dark Knight Rises" director Christopher Nolan is producing, along with "Batman Begins" screenwriter David S. Goyer.

"Man of Steel" opens June 14, 2013.

What do you think of the poster? Do you think Nolan and Snyder are on the right track so far?

I like it, when these type of characters are made more plausible... Like the reboot of the Dark Knight by Nolan, or like they did with the Amazing Spider-Man. So I am excited to see what they will with Kal-El, in this Reboot...

I too prefer the old fashioned Superman style, however, I felt the same way about Batman as well and I really like the new take on the character. I'm very interested to see if the new change with Superman will meet the hype.

I think all the superheroes should be forced to fight each other to the death - that would be entertaining. And the ultimate winner would then show remorse and guilt and top themselves...
YAY!! No more superhero movies. I am the silent majority that hate these movies and I know I am outnumbered here but, hey, democracy, right?wink
But bring on a decent big budget horror movie and I'm in!!!

Being a fan of the British costume drama ‘The Tudors’ in which Henry Cavill was a main character, I am very much looking forward to this new film. Henry although a controversial choice will I think make a fine man of steel. I like the idea of it being darker as well, both in terms of wardrobe and film direction.
