Just browsing some of the MOS product solicitations of stuff that officially went up for preorder and noticed Entertainment Earth had this for Faora's statue that explains a little of her character and full name:

Don't miss this exceptionally detailed 1:6 scale Man of Steel movie statue from DC Collectibles! The Superman Man of Steel Faora 1:6 Scale Iconic Statue features actress Antje Traue's portrayal of General Zod's man-hating sidekick, Faora Hu-Ul. It measures 13 1/4-inches tall x 8 1/2-inches wide x 5 3/4-inches long. If you're a guy, you might want to think twice before taking this one home!

EDIT: Also Henry isn't kicking off the promotional tour next week. Seems like the stop in Japan is just the one stop for now:

Some of the cast and crew from Star Trek Into Darkness did a press junket in Japan back in December before a new trailer debuted IIRC.

I don't like the idea that the Army hurts Superman "real bad" with their "heavy weapons". That **** should bounce right off the boy in blue. I certainly hope this stuff is fake.

I like to think that was a superpunch or kick that sent him into the bank vault.
If a tank or missile did that to him, then he is even more depowered than I wanted.
He should be able to swat a tank shell or missile away with one hand.

Me either, now if a tank shell hits Superman he SHOULD fly back because he's only about 240 lbs.

Of course he could recover mid air or get up completely unfaze, but it wouldn't make sense for him to not be blown back.

You guys remember that one JLU episode where Superman and Captain Marvel fight? That one scene where Superman gets thrown into that vault? Then he grabs it and smashes Captain Marvel with it? That was pretty awesome. Be cool if he does that to Zod or someone here.

Hell yes, that's one of the most epic animated fights ever imo I would love for Supes and Zod's fight to be similar.

Superman should get hurt by missiles.

What's new everyone? I've been out for about a week. Haven't been on SHH at all during that time.

 

[JimJimBinks]

I don't mind a tank shell knocking Superman into the bank vault if its the first time he gets hit in the fight, or if its unexpected. Hell, it could make for a funny moment. I'm more inclined to believe he takes a shell, and Zod sucker punches him.

Well a 3 month promotional tour will start next week in Japan.....

"The anticipation for Superman's next big screen outing is at an all time high. Fans are axiously awaiting to see what Zack Snyder has cooked up for Superman's triumphant return. While it still seems like the movie is still a while away, some news just hit that makes it feel like it's right around the corner. The people over at HenryCavill.Org are reporting that Man Of Steel star Henry Cavill will be embarking on a three month tour to promote Man Of Steel. The tour will kick off in Japan starting on the dates of March 27th and 28th."

Nah they updated the article saying it's a one stop thing for now.

Sounds good.

Oh really? I hadn't seen that. Thanks for the update!

Don't worry, boys and girls.

The night is darkest just before the dawn and I promise you, the dawn is coming.

It's the dawn! No, it's a trailer! No...it's more nothing.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

This madness must cease! Snyder must unleash the Trailer!

We got all those new photos like last week, and you guys are already asking for new material? My God.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Me either, now if a tank shell hits Superman he SHOULD fly back because he's only about 240 lbs.

Only if he is unprepared for it should he fly back or lose his ground, IMO.

Of course he could recover mid air or get up completely unfaze, but it wouldn't make sense for him to not be blown back.

I think things like tank shells and whatever should only knock him back if he does not expect them. When he expects **** like that, no force on earth should be able to move him. This is true in the comics.

Hell yes, that's one of the most epic animated fights ever imo I would love for Supes and Zod's fight to be similar.

Loved JL/JLU, and Batman TAS & Superman: TAS. Perfection, IMO.

New Star Trek trailer. Alice Eve in her undies. Watch now.

 

[TheIrishAvenger]

Looks like Man of Steel has Toshiba (in the UK at least) as a marketing partner. The official UK YouTube channel just uploaded the first theatrical trailer.

 

[Naite22]

So damn sick of seeing star trek trailers and **** pop up!...... Give us a new superman trailer god damn it!

Reminds me of the time during the SR lull in news and footage and then BOOM! some Australian TV ad for a product debuts showing the airplane rescue and footage of Superman saving Metropolis. t:

Not sure if it's worth checking out tonight or not but it's the Nick Kids Choice Awards at 8pm EST and even though RDJ or Cavill aren't in attendance they are debuting an extended Iron Man 3 TV spot, so perhaps something for MOS might air..?

Days ago someone I don't remember posted pics of WB studios where they were filming a spot for Carl's Jr for Mos..And said that it would have made its debut tonight at Kid's Choice..I'm not that sure, a tv spot with effects and everything cannot be rushed in two days of production..I think it will debut later for the line that Carl's Jr will launch on April 24th..

I doubt it. This is WB after all.

 

[G.Godfrey]

Where is that dude who came waltzing in here about 3 weeks ago with false hopes of ´´insiders info`` about character posters debuting ´´any day now`` and then disappeared.

Anyway, watch nothing happen in April aside from a EW MOS issue with another few lame stills inside which WB won't release in HD and the trailer only coming out with IM3's domestic release in May.
