I don't think his powers were fully developed when he was little. Its very possible his hair was not yet at maximum strength.

If Clark is an indestructible youth, his hair would be as well.

I was thinking about the tornado scene. Do we know if Clark does anything during that?

Well according to a source who saw a VFX reel, he said

*SPOILERS!!!*
Last night at a VFX conference there was a sizzle reel shown by Weta. In this sizzle reel there were two beta level (most likely from a trailer) clips shown. One only about 6 seconds long, the other much longer.

The former was Clark Kent grabbing a truck with a crying man inside of it while*flying*through the middle of a tornado. It looked incredible. Henry Cavill can fly, and he can hold a truck in one arm. Zack Snyder brings his usual visual flair, but somehow is still unlike anything he has made before. It felt like a Superman comic. Real heroism.

The longer clip was even more stunning, but the more I think about it, slightly concerning. The clip consisted of Superman in full costume in a verbal argument with Zod in the center of Smallville with*Christopher Meloni*yells at them through a megaphone next to a tank. Meloni warns them he will fire if they do not surrender. While he says this Zod [played by Michael Shannon] sizes Superman up. Shannon looks evil as he can be. Bone chilling even. And is DEFINITELY sporting enhanced muscle. Cavill’s Superman is a wonderful sight to behold in motion. Cavill’s pure size makes him the most believable Superman to date. Zod speaks in Kryptonian “Do you know your native tongue, Kal-el?” Superman looks stunned, and responds in English, “Who are you?” (there isn’t enough Superman dialogue to judge Cavill’s performance fairly, but I’d say he did well. Nothing spectacular from this clip.) Meloni curses, then into a walkie talkie orders the tank to fire. Superman hears this and turns to the tank. Zod takes this opportunity to sucker punch Superman (in Zack Snyder slow-then-fast-mo) then when the tank fires Superman rushes in front of Zod,*despite the punch and catches the exploding missile near his stomach. The flames ripple around him, hit his face, his cape, his eyes. The shrapnel hits him and bounces off. The same happens to Zod to a lesser extent. Meloni’s shocked expression when they remain standing, silhouettes in a cloud of smoke, ends the clip.

It was incredible, it really was. And absolutely visually stunning, but my qualm is its typical Zack Snyder. It doesn’t look glossy like his films do. It instead has a more clean cut, colorful look. Like*Thor, or*Iron Man. But it is the same slow-mo styling that people expect from him. Maybe it just happens in this one scene, but it happens twice. Makes me a bit hesitant, despite the fact it looks phenomenal.

Take this with a grain of salt

And we now know it doesn't, not even remotely. So BS on that.

 

[GreenKToo]

If thats true it will be a great scene.... I remember reading that now, months and months ago.

I love superman, it would be a great touch if they showed how he does it, but it will have no affect on how I view the film. It's a movie and it doesn't matter how he shaves. Just like it doesn't matter how he farts or uses deodorant against his krypto body odor or sweat.

Ha ha great post

If the next trailer is only 1:52, I will rage quit.

 

[G.Godfrey]

Not only that but if it doesn't include ANY dialogue of Zod, no plot and Superman not punching anything....I refuse to believe it! But I guess nothing would surprise me at this point.

Is this a new rumour?

 

[BH/HHH]

I don't think it's gonna be that short but if it is and it's good, so what?

 

[Kal-El.9859]

any guy who claims to work for a large company and doesn't know how to spell properly or proper word usage or basically how to speak....I have a really hard time believing what they say

Zod definitely needs to speak in the next trailer. And I hope we get a taste of Zimmer's score.

I wouldn't put it past them to hold off on the score and the first time we hear one note from it is when we are sitting in the theater watching the movie....I could be wrong but the way they are treating this movie is like it's the secret of life, the universe and everything....the best well kept secret of all time!

 

[ThePhantasm]

Usually the film's score does not appear in the trailer. TDKR was not following the norm on that.

HAHAHA....yeah that's pretty much it right there

I agree, I want to hear Zod speak. I also hope the shot from the Comic Con trailer

Spoiler

of Superman reaching out from the skulls

is the final shot of the new trailer. I think people would lose it in the cinema for that shot.

I can wait for the score tbh, I'd love to hear it don't get me wrong but I'm not too fussed if they don't use it in the next trailer.

It just seems to me that MOST non-Superman/non-comic book fans aren't excited about this movie at all. I hope we get some awesome action packed trailers to show people that Superman is ready to throw down and most importantly WILL thrown down. They don't want another love story or a Superman too afraid to throw a punch

 

[Dr.]

I saw in an older comic that he used heat vision and a mirror.

Speaking as an expert on the fake science of superheroes word… shaving in this way would not be possible.

Yeah I agree, they need to focus the next trailer on the action but I think they will.

Care to explain? I've always been curious about the "mirror" explanation; is it impossible because the heat-vision would melt the mirror?

What?!? I guess the next thing you're gonna tell me is that superheroes aren't real....

 

[BH/HHH]

What if he just shaves with a blade from Krypton
