Man of Steel Trailer #3
Any doubts or worries you’ve had about the Man of Steel are
laid to rest with this new trailer. Compiled with footage we’ve seen in earlier
teasers is a lot more footage we haven’t seen. Notable mentions include: more
information on how Krypton was destroyed, Kal-el’s departure from his dying
home world, more of Amy Adams as Lois Lane and more action sequences and
special effects then released before. Now I know that judging a film based on
its trailer can be just as misleading as judging a book by its cover but I must
admit that this trailer has sparked my interest. This film marks the 75th
anniversary of Superman, a chance at redemption after the disappointing
Superman Returns, and the possibility of future sequels and a collected DC film
franchise that rests on it’s success. Man of Steel looks to redeem the
character and more importantly, give us a successful blockbuster Superman epic
that we haven’t seen in over 30 years. And if you don’t believe me, see for
yourselves:
The newest installment in the long line of DC Animated films
hits the store shelves on May 7th. Based on the acclaimed comic book
story written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Gary Frank, Superman Unbound
follows the Man of Steel as he searches for the answers to the mysteries
surrounding his home planet, his past and his origins, all while battling
Brainiac, the Collector of Worlds. Starring a talented voice cast of Matt Bomer
as Superman, Stana Katic as Lois Lane and John Noble (Fringe) as the menacing
Brainiac. The movie looks great and it looks to be one of the most visually
appealing of the DC Animated movies so far, especially after the look of the
last Superman animated feature seemed a little strange (yes, I mean you,
Superman vs. The Elite). Upon the DVD release of Unbound fans will get their
first glimpse of The Flashpoint Paradox, based on the comic Flashpoint, also
written by Geoff Johns. The story follows the Flash as he is accidentally
placed in an alternate timeline, where some heroes are villains, others are at
war, and some don’t even exist. This is the story that essentially formed the
new DC Multiverse that we now call the New 52, which makes me wonder if more DC
Animated features will be based on New 52 stories. DC revealed a very short
preview of the fight scene between Superman and Brainiac, and if you missed it
you can watch it right here:

On sale: June 12th, 2013
Synopsis: When thirteen satellites fall from the sky in one
day, the logical suspect is Lex Luthor—even though he’s still locked up in
prison! But a stranger question remains: If Superman didn’t stop the last
satellite from falling, who did? There’s a mystery hidden where even Superman
can’t see it—Can The Man of Steel drag a decades-old secret into the light?
Don’t miss the debut of this red-hot new series from two of comics’ brightest
superstars: SCOTT SNYDER and JIM LEE!
“One of the hardest things to do with a character like
Batman or Superman who have had decades’ worth of stories is being able to
introduce new lore into the mythology that feels organic and feels like it
could have been there all along,” Lee said. “Hats off to Scott, because I think
he’s doing it on both iconic characters.” Check out the full interview at LA Times’ HeroComplex.
