Superman: The Brain Child of Snyder and Nolan

(First official photo)


So about a year ago Warner Bros announced that there will be a new superman movie and after the let down of the previous film (Superman Returns) not a lot of Fanboys were thrilled. But then we found out that Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) would be producing and writing the story behind it, across Fanboy nation there was great applause. then after lots of looking around they announced that the Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) will be directing it, and again there was great applause throughout the Fanboy nation.

And the great news kept rolling in. David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, Dark Knight and Blade 1-3) wrote most of the story and the screen play. Leaving Snyder to make final decisions about where he wants the story to go.

With most of the major CBM players involved this movie is set to be on the same caliber as The Dark Knight, which is the highest grossing CBM ever (second place is Spider-Man).

But enough about the crew let’s get to the stars of the bound to be epic, Man Of Steel.

Superman will be played by Henry Cavill.
Louis Lane will be played by Amy Adams (great cast)
Jor-El (Superman’s dad) will be played by Russell Crow
Jonathan Kent will be played by Kevin Costner (great cast)
[I have got to add that Clark Kent/Superman probably has the best casted dad’s ever]
Martha Kent will be played by Diane Lane (no relation to Louis Lane)
The great General Zod will be played by Michael Shannon
And Perry White is to be played by Laurence Fishburne (amazing cast)


Story
I would assume it will be the typical origin story for superman.


The New Suit


I’m mixed about the new suit.

Things wrong (but could be for the best) is missing the red outer under wear, a superman trade mark, and the superman trade mark “S” on the back of the cape. But a cool thing is it looks more futuristic like Jor-El stuffed a Kryptonian war suit in the space shuttle with little Kal-El.



Cloudy with a chance of Doomsday?


Although that can be many things, I noticed the eye marker about two feet above his head. That could make the creature about 8 feet (give or take) and Doomsday is a giant. Also notice the MoCap guy’s hands are huge as well.



Now again who knows what it actually is but I speculate that the figure on the right is Zod (or some female minion) and the guy in the motion capture suit is Doomsday.

Could General Zod have Doomsday come and destroy Smallville and in the process kill superman and leave a huge cliff hanger for a second movie? Doubtful if it is doomsday he will be easily defeated and come back for round two as the main bad guy with double the power.

I'm sure more news will come out soon that will help narrow down what to expect in this movie but until then Man of Steel is set to be released June of 2013
