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.

    • But we are talking about Elon Musk, no AT&T... I know big companies are evil, but Elon and his companies are in another level which is much more dangerous.
    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂
    • Thank gawd AT&T never worked with the US gov....
    • Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
