First picture of The Man of Steel

My first question is this: Within the Superman universe, Clarke Kent plays an ordinary everyday man, so umm.. how the HELL did he manage to make something with crazy scale-like bits in it? I’m hoping they don’t go Raimi style and just show him draw a picture of an extremely complicated costume then BAM he’s wearing it.

But anyways, Warner Bros just released the first official picture from Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. And if you don’t know, it’s Superman, you know, Superman: Man of Steel.

Check the picture out below:

It looks like they liked what they saw in Thor with his cape, because the new Superman appears to have a bit of pop to his cape.

Here’s a close up on the costume:

Oh wait, that’s not it, is it? Well close enough.

Just kidding, here’s the real close up:

Warner Bros also included a short rundown of who else is in the movie:

The film also stars three-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams (“The Fighter”) as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Oscar® nominee Laurence Fishburne (“What’s Love Got to Do with It”) as her editor-in-chief, Perry White. Starring as Clark Kent’s adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Oscar® nominee Diane Lane (“Unfaithful”) and Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner (“Dances with Wolves”).

Squaring off against the superhero are two other surviving Kryptonians, the villainous General Zod, played by Oscar® nominee Michael Shannon (“Revolutionary Road”), and Faora, Zod’s evil partner, played by Antje Traue. Also from Superman’s native Krypton are Lara Lor-Van, Superman’s mother, played by Julia Ormond, and Superman’s father, Jor-El, portrayed by Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe (“Gladiator”).
Rounding out the cast are Harry Lennix as U.S. military man General Swanwick, as well as Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy.

“Man of Steel” is being produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer, from a story by Goyer and Nolan, based upon Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster and published by DC Comics. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are serving as executive producers.
