The Warner Brothers press conference at Comic Con was pretty epic. They showed some footage from Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming Pacific Rim (poster and synopsis here), surprised everyone by teasing Godzilla, returned to Middle Earth with The Hobbit, and also gave a first look at Zack Snyder's reboot of Superman, Man of Steel.
Here is the newest teaser poster for Man of Steel.
It looks like a big 'S' on a chest to me. It's hard to judge the potential quality of the film based on that. The three or four minutes of footage shown at Comic Con impressed many with a tone that was more in line with the comics and less like the 2006 film Superman Returns. Based on the Twitter buzz of the folks who were there, the footage showed a very personal tale of Supes finding himself, but it also promised plenty of conflict, showing a final shot of bad guy General Zod. The vision of director Snyder and the influence of producer Christopher Nolan gives hope that Man of Steel can put Superman back to the top of the superhero heap.
We won't have to wait long to judge the new look and feel of Superman for ourselves. A trailer will show before The Dark Knight Rises, which comes out next week.
Look for Man of Steel Summer 2013.
Are you excited for a new Superman film, one that is less mopey and more action? Let me know in the comments or on Twitter!
