Nice! Just a week ago when I was last browsing the (very uneventful) site they still had the old credits photo up (from the last trailer).

 

[BH/HHH]

I feel like the marketing is finally going to ramp up.

Me too t:

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

my choices for Lois Lane and Perry White right there

 

[A.Stabelli]

Hugh Laurie in a superhero film would be amaze balls.

 

[Superherofan123]

News!!! So that convention the 11th-14th looks to be promising!

 

[JimJimBinks]

Hugh Laurie in a superhero film would be amaze balls.

He was originally cast as Perry White in Superman Returns, but had to drop out 'cause of scheduling conflicts with House.

 

[G.Godfrey]

CNN changed the photo in the article to the handcuffs photo...

 

[G.Godfrey]

Keep in mind, CNN is a Time Warner company. As is Warner Brothers. So that's as official as it gets.

The article has been up for a couple of hours now. If that image wasn't approved by WB then it would've been taken down already.

Well, obviously it was not. It was taken down and replaced. Zod forbid WB gives us something NEW.

Who's the dame ?

 

[Simo]

See, I'm telling you guys everything is ramping up for the 75th anniversary. If I'm wrong Godfrey will eat his own underwear.

 

[Marvin]

Jon Peter getting a producer credit. Eat that Kevin Smith lol.

 

[G.Godfrey]

Who's the dame ?

Olivia Wilde. Not that good of an actress. She's ok for TV but I'd be pretty annoyed if she was cast as Lois. Glad we got someone with proper chops to play Lois!

 

[G.Godfrey]

If I'm wrong Godfrey will eat his own underwear.

No, if you're wrong, prepare to meet the iron

 

[Ultra Nolanite]

That's Olivia Wilde ? didn't recognize her. She was hot in Tron: Legacy

 

[Simo]

He got it for SR too IIRC.

Everything I'm reading and seeing about this film (especially that recent Zimmer interview) makes me think that Man of Steel would be a perfect counterpoint to The Dark Knight Trilogy. If that trilogy was a cynical and pessimistic look at how a man strives to empower and inspire the everyday post 9/11 american citizen, tackling themes of corruption, terrorism, mass hysteria, economic instability. Man of steel seems the "hope and optimistic" take on the good nature of america empowering and guiding a stranger to the world, I wouldn't be surprised if the film took some religious subtext (even though it being a superman story pretty much guarantees that). I expect everything from the music, to the cinematography to feel like everything the dark knight was not.

LOL! That's pretty funny.

 

[Simo]

LOL! That's pretty funny.

I thought it was funny that with CNN being a part of Time Warner that they used a fan-manip of that leaked banner instead of the original.

Wut.

 

[Norek]

I wonder what Steve Lombard's role will be in the film.. Is he an interesting character in the comics?

 

[GreenKToo]

I dnt know if that image is real or not, but its getting positive feedback. Wb should pay whoever made it and use it. Its lots better than the handcuffed image.

 

[Travesty]

That pic looks pretty cool.

I think if it wasn't real WBs wouldn't have gotten it taken down.

Wonderful post

 

[DaJanksta]

Watch WB release the photo in a few days and say it's new.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Peters getting a credit means nothing.

That pic always looked real to me and it baffles me why it wasn't the poster.

I love this post and I hope you're right.
