A little description on the costumes, specifically Kryptonian garb...it really appears that the movie will resemble the New 52 Kryptonian costumes. The description reminds me of what Morrison has done with Krypton.

Yeah, you can see the attempts at movie/comic synergy all over the new 52, and not just with Superman.

Very cool.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Nice. The middle part's a bit thick for my liking but over all

That's what she said!

 

[Icemizer]

Like it.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

It's thick in the middle because it's super.

Because a LGBT group filed a lawsuit about Superman and the Man of Steel being too sexist, the movie has been changed to Transman II (the first Transman was an underground movie about the LGBT group's rise from obscurity to superstardom)

All I can see is the Nike swoosh. I think I'm broken.

Crap.

Fire Destroys "Man of Steel" Film Reels

In the early hours of this morning a three alarm fire broke out on the backlot of Warner Bros. Studios. The fire started when a worker using an acetylene torch for welding accidentally let it catch fire with the surroundings. The Los Angeles County Fire Department had reported that the Film Vault had burned down, destroying thousands of film reels containing footage from projects in post-production including films such as "Beautiful Creatures", "Jack the Giant Killer", and "Man of Steel". Over 116 fire-fighters from various local fire departments, as well as two helicopters dropping water, had responded to the fire. Four fire-fighters sustained minor injuries.

 

[sojourner]

you bastard.

 

[AvBaur]

Are they even shooting on film? I doubt it...

 

[JacksonArcher]

So long as The Dark Knight Rises footage is safe.

 

[Captaindemotion]

^ It's safe unless you steal it and take it to your Jack-cave or Fortress of Architude.

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ That's awesome.

 

[Captaindemotion]

^ Thank you. I have my moments.

The unfortunately-named Dylan Sprayberry, who plays young Clark in the movie, talks about it here.

So this is the first time they’re using a teenager to portray the young version of Clark Kent in a Superman movie. How does that feel? It was really great. I didn’t even really notice how big it was until I finished shooting. It was so overwhelming that it was crazy, I was like “I can’t believe I just did all that.” In the moment, I was really focused on the work and the acting.
What will people really love about Man of Steel? When Zack [Snyder] and I were talking about it the first time, he was saying how Superman, they want to give it a more edgy feel like The Dark Knight but also make it more realistic and emotional so it’s not just the all-american superhero that saves everyone. He has dilemmas and love and struggles throughout the whole movie, especially when he’s a kid.

Interestingly enough, Dylan is playing the young version of Matthew Bomer's guest character in Glee. Bomer was rumoured to be a contender for Superman both this and the last time out.
