Searched like for the existing thread but can't find it.

If a MOD can please merge, but otherwise.....

A photo of a poster has surfaced. A bit of glare, but.....

Of particular interest is the robot/mech-suited figure.

EDIT: Nevermind, last Superman wasn't a reboot just continued the existing story....still, do they really need to reboot everything?

is that Darkseid in the background?

General Zod (outline in the clouds - Michael Shannon) and Faora (Kryptonian female serial killer from the older comics - Antje Traue) are the main villains. Faora was toned down considerably (!) and renamed Ursa in the Richard Donner films. The storyline takes major cues from the series Superman: Birthright.

UK actor Henry Cavill as Superman, in a uniform remeniscent of the new comics shorts-less version. No muscle suit - that's all him.

I can see a face in the clouds.

What is it with the chopper and plane? They look so bad. The rest looks great Looking forward to this movie

[DocM]

The plane is a V-22 Osprey, and the foremost chopper is likely a OH-6 Cayuse. The photo is a bit grainy though.

Henry Cavill looks too much like Johnny Knoxville in the face. It's not really his fault but I kind of think I'm going to be thinking of that all the way through the movie.

Director: Zach Snyder (300, Watchmen)

Michael Shannon (Zod) interview -

The "Bug" actor almost didn't make the "Mud" shoot, though, because of his strict commitments as General Zod in the new Superman flick "Man of Steel." Shannon admitted to having a blast on set, and talked highly of both Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill. "Henry is a fantastic Superman, he’s got a little edge to him and he’s smart, clever and I had fun working with him," Shannon stated, but his greatest compliments were for his director. "I think Zack is the master stylist, visually, I mean he’s up there with Scorsese in my book in terms of visual composition, orchestration, etc." Certainly not a bad filmmaker to be compared to. He also confirmed that "the whole thing is edgy in a way like when Nolan took over the Batman franchise," something that was expected when originally announced but has been somewhat doubtful in some camps, no thanks to the tragic "Sucker Punch."

And while filming at Edwards Air Force Base in California Henry Cavill took time out to sign autographs & get on with the troops -

Might turn out to be a good one, with Zach Snyder and Christopher Nolan on board.

[fixxxer2013]

the suit looks horrid, that's my only complaint.

[DocM]

It's actually not far off the current version in the comics, but with the piping instead of an armor-y look.

I still would have prefered Tom Welling. 10 seasons of smallville i just picture him when i hear of a superman movie lol

i don't like that suit either although it's a tad better.

Tom Welling?

He's more wooden than an oak tree!
