So far at the San Diego Comic Con, some great information has been released. The name of the latest Captain America film, the name of the latest Thor film, The first teaser poster for Superman (it looks good) along with news on what the teaser trailer that will air with the Dark Knight Rises. Oh, and news that there'll be an Ant Man film. Although, I don't think that Ant Man will be any good as I'm not a fan, the news has generated a lot of interest and other fans seem genuinely excited for it. Lets start with what I'm most interested in though, Man of Steel, it has to be good right?

Man of Steel

In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question ‘Why am I here?’ Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.

Opening June 13, 2013, Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Ayelet Zurer as Lara Lor-Van, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Antje Traue as Faora, Harry Lennix as General Swanwick and Christopher Meloni as Col. Hardy.
