Superman: Man of Steel (2013)


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty happy this is a hairier Supes personally. Got to see the trailer again in 3D at the IMAX. When he goes vertical, holy ****. They work in some good 3D heat vision and I'll wet myself.

Laser eyes are so cheap and in reality, would be unstoppable. You can't miss what you just have to look at. In cartoons and such, they always have some sort of delay on eye lasers, as if there is a weight to move them around. But in reality, you would destroy anything, unless you were blind.

Made a 1080p wallpaper from the Advance Poster I found online. Original file was around 2.5 MBs, cropped it to 16:9 and moved the writing up top and removed the black background with the magic wand in Photoshop. Took about a minute or two. Resized it to 1920X1080. I made an untagged version as well...just a simple crop.

You are aware that living cells have been made to lase, right?

They're not lasers, its heat vision. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_and_abilities_of_Superman

"Warner Bros. Pictures' highly-anticipated Superman movie, Man of Steel, has been rated by the MPAA. The film has received a PG-13 rating "for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, and for some language."

The only thing I am not really liking here is the colour filter or what ever they use to desaturate the colours & give it that steel blue military sci-fi look. It's not a bad look, but it seems over used here, and with Superman I feel like there should be alot of colour.

First, let's address the Man of Steel portion of the article. Besides announcing Spoiler:[

Tor-An

]" as a potential Kryptonian sleeper agent on Earth, the LEGO exhibit at the London Toy Fair also features a set where there's a variation of General Zod wearing armor. Certainly makes sense as we saw Michael Shannon wearing a Krptonian suit similar to Superman's and a motion-capture suit, implying he'll be wearing something totally CGI at some point in the film as he's hinted at in the past.

Tor-An (Action Comics 875, 877)

Alias: David Carter

Allegiance: Kryptonian Military Guild

Assignment: sleeper agent

Along with Zod, he was one of the Kryptonians imprisoned in the Phantom Zone. When Zod and his followers were freed, his second in command was charged with assigning five Krypontians as sleeper agents on Earth. Tor-An assumed the identity of a human entrepreneur named David Carter, the CEO of the Empire Communications Network based out of Sydney Australia.

Prepare yourselves for a female Jimmy Olsen.

IMDB is listing Rebecca Buller as "Jenny Olsen," a female version of the character first seen in Action Comics #349. One of Mr. Mxyzptlk's games, so there is precedence.

There are also some MoS toys coming, including a vehicle that could be a version of the Supermobile - a vehicle that shielded Sups from a red sun & kryptonite while externalizing most of his powers. In the recent Superman cartoon series this was compacted down to a kind of spacesuit, though he did retain a small spaceship.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
