Zach Snyder, who gave us 300, Watchmen, and, um, Sucker Punch, will be directing Man of Steel from a script by David Goyer, who was a writer on the Chris Nolan Batman trilogy. That's a pretty strong pedigree, and we are guaranteed to have a very different film than the snoozefest that was Superman Returns.
Have a look at the new poster and trailer for the film.
I like the promise of real conflict and action, but I hope it happens quickly. I am not big on the idea of the first hour of Man of Steel showing Superman wandering around acting human. We know that General Zod (Michael Shannon) will be the bad guy and that he will be bringing a lot of badness with him. I just want to see things get nasty sooner rather than later.
Still, it looks miles better than the previous Superman outing, and I have faith in the crew involved. The Batman films were pretty good blockbusters, and if Snyder got the craziness out of his system with Sucker Punch, then his visual style should translate well to the world of Superman.
We'll find out on June 14, 2013!
