Superman: Man of Steel (2013)


Recommended Posts

I'm digging the hell out of the press on this one.

Superman Returns was awesome, for Superman... not Lex. I thought they completely went

stupid with his character. But the "human" angle on Superman was great. They could have

gone darker with it, of course, but overall I liked the whole voyeur thing when he was listening

in on Lois. I mean.. who WOULDN'T take advantage of that. Seriously.

So when the press talks about edging towards darkness with Superman.. yea, I get excited.

I want to see it from Superman's angle-- what "shouldn't" I do with my powers-- and from the

public's perspective-- just how trusting should we be of this guy. As an example, imagine if

Jesus actually did come back today. Some guy that could walk on water and cure the sick...

if he wasn't burned as a witch, he'd be trampled under the masses trying to get his attention.

I think it would make for a very dark, very real look into human nature.

:s

Whats wrong with that?

because you cannot "ground" or make superman "to realistic" per say as they did with batman. they just assume because batman was huge success the formula will work for man of steel. sadly i don't think it will but i won't pass judgment until i see a full trailer.

What is your reasoning behind thinking they cannot make the movie in such a way?

my god that getup is nasty.... makes him look like a lumpy mess! eww his package looks gross... like it's just some lump sitting there and not like a real one.... looks like he's hung like dung.

Something also to note the colors of Superman were not always Red White and Blue. (not to mention the original mask for the Lone Ranger was purple (due to the dullness of the mask black would bring)

And now we know why-- Superman used to wear shorts over his suit.

Man of Steel Features "Superman You've Never Seen Before"

Director Zack Snyder discusses his "more serious version" of Superman.

As well as discussing the legacy of Watchmen, director Zack Snyder has been teasing another one of his comic book adaptations this week ? namely Man of Steel.

Speaking to the LA Times, Snyder explained ?It?s a more serious version of Superman. It?s not like a heart attack. We took the mythology seriously. We take him as a character seriously. I believe the movie would appeal to anyone. I think that you?re going to see a Superman you?ve never seen before.?

As for his fascination with the character, Snyder says it?s ?because he?s the father of all superheroes.?

?What was it about him that cracked the code that made pop culture embrace this other mythology? What we?ve made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It?s been an honour to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes. I wanted to be sure the movie treated it respectfully.?

Man of Steel is released on June 14.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.

    • Dang that sucks. I just started using this feature instead of Pushbullet.
    • I use my devices until the very end. I used my old desktop computer for 16 years, my OnePlus 5T phone for 8 years and my LG Gram laptop for 7 years. Even though they are still working, there are no more security updates for most of them (Windows 7 ESU, Android 12 ROM and the LG Gram because I wanted an ARM based laptop).
