Colbert gave an awesome plug to MOS. (He's tongue in cheek mocking it, but this is his way of giving it some recognition) Here's the link.
That's been speculated for some time. I remember first hearing about it from a rumor that stated Nolan had planned for his suit to have some kind of anti-gravity technology or some kind of nonsense that enabled the ability to fly.
Nope, Shannon has made explicit references in interviews to exploring Zod's motivation as a character in regards to how he is reacting to losing his planet. He knows Krypton is gone. Your spoilers are false.

Hmm. You're sort've onto something but not quite. For us watching the film most definitely that works beautifully and I think the film does aim for that with the scene of the young Clark with the cape. However I don't think Clark's turning point for his journey is finding his inner child. Not at all.
In S:TM, the Jor-El hologram 'taught' Kal El about the rest of his powers on that 12 year journey 'through time and space'. Clark didn't know how to fly or laser eye before then.Judging by the trailers, this is a Clark who's got used to having to hide his powers. His Dad warns him that the world may not accept who he is. He could easily fly or superspeed anywhere on Earth, but he's choosing to restrain himself and try to be 'normal', and just fit in like everyone else. He obviously makes exceptions when someone's life is at risk and he has the potential to save them, but for a normal day-to-day scenario he just walks and grabs lifts - like a human would.
This will also heighten the dramatic effect when he finally steps out of the FOS with the suit on and takes off into the air. That defining moment where we first see him in full Superman guise would not have the same impact if he had flown there beforehand. The moment he steps out signals a milestone in his life where he finally embraces his Kryptonian heritage. It doesn't mean he throws away all his human traits; more that he combines his Kryptonian side with his human side.
It's interesting to note that they never really pursued the idea of Superman possibly being rejected by humanity in the 1978 film, yet they still had Clark hitch-hiking to the North Pole. We had already seem him use superspeed by that stage so his reasons for doing so must have been to take his time and patiently find his place in the world.
If that's what they're going with, they should have just cast Robin Williams.It could also be a story about finding your inner child. As children we have our lives in front of us. A child's imagination has no boundaries. Look at young Clark in the field playing with his cape.
But the longer you live in this world and progress into adulthood, reality has a way of taming one's imagination. What once seemed possible doesn't seem so possible anymore. It looks like Clark doesn't "take flight" until he awakens that inner child within himself. Maybe that's what the cape will symbolize.
Maybe she saw how hot he is and wanted a slice of that beef cake.If he hasn't been using his powers then why is Lois looking for him? Unless she just picked up a story from the oil rig save and is researching that.
Wow I just read that description and felt like I was flying! Bravo !
Colbert is the biggest geek ever, loved his hobbit week he did last year, he out geeked pretty much all the cast and crew with his Tolkien knowledge.

Colbert is the man.
Incidentally, Kingsley was on The Report last night, and it got tense. My guess Ben wasn't aware of Stephen's satirical brand of comedy. I doubt we'll see him on the show again.

Does it bother anyone that there is a big 'BLAZE COMICS' sign in this shot. I get that it's a cool nod to the medium, and maybe that particular name is of significance to Snyder, like his old local comics store or something. But it feels a bit unnecessary and unrealistic. Like never is a comic book store going to have a skyscraper like that. I'm not overreacting, nor am I really annoyed at this (it's just a like 3-second shot in the film). But I dunno. It kinda detracts from it a bit.
