Man of Steel hasproven itself to be a commercial success, if not entirely a critical one. But to the eyes of the studios it did exactly what it set out to do, which is make money. The sequel was officially greenlit before the film even came out, and the future of DC’s Cinematic Universe began to develop.
We were already working under the assumption that the recently ‘confirmed’ Justice League was dependent on the success of Superman’s big reboot, and since that went swimmingly it’s time to start looking forward. While we would still have a few years to wait for Justice League, we can start casting our dream team right now!
With the opening of Man of Steel I figured it was about time we took to Pinterest to see just what kind of Superman related pins I could find. As usual, I was not disappointed.
Let’s start right off with a little biblical imagery. Of course Superman is [this] close to Jesus so it makes perfect sense. I’m considering finding a way to get this printed and framed on my wall. I think it would look amazing next to my Aquaman as John the Baptist painting.
I have no idea what is going on here but I feel as if I must have it. I mean who wouldn’t want a raccoon (right?) wearing a dishtowel carrying around a samuri sword? NO ONE. I have a feeling the DC Comics copyright department isn’t too worried about people mistaking this Man of Steel for the real deal.
Are you hosting a Man of Steel party and looking for the perfect dessert? Well look no further because this pin is actually a rather good tutorial on how to make some great looking Superman logo cookies. Actually, that’s a lie. The pin goes to the main page (major pet peeve) but this link here will take you to the actual post.
I love this. That’s all I can really say, I just love it. If you aren’t familiar with superhero movies and/or have been living under a rock for the last year, this is a version of the Iron Man 3 poster with obviously Henry Cavill’s Superman as opposed to Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man.
Awwww, who doesn’t love Krypto? I’m a dog person myself and I have a soft spot in my heart for Superman’s best friend. He does seem like the perfect dog. He can freeze things, his senses are superior to other dogs who already have heightened senses, and he can fly. I wish my dogs could fly as it would really save on travel costs – “Come on Ninja, fly me to St. Louis”. Oh to dream.
Not much to say about this one but, how cool is it to see the Superman logos through the years laid out like that? All I know is I really want a t-shirt of that 2003 Superman/Batman logo because that is awesome.
That wraps up this edition of Pinterest finds! Here’s hoping Man of Steel is as good as early reports say it is and in the words of the late great Roger Ebert, I’ll see you at the movies!
Apparently the formula for trailers nowadays is to keep releasing them until you find the perfect one. As if Man of Steel didn’t look fabulous enough in the last epic trailer that showed glimpses of Krypton and the other Kryptonians such as Jor-El and General Zod, the latest trailer shows a whole lot more of Kal-El-Clark-Superman in action! It was a little bit of a combo trailer with a quick TV spot that was shown at the MTV movie awards involving Zod calling out Kal-El to give himself up or Earth will pay the price and outing Superman as an alien. Pretty crappy of you Zod. Anyways, check out the trailer below:
Tons of goodness to come out of this one! Heat vision, Kryptonians pummeling one another, destruction in Metropolis and a weird looking robot that I can only hope is an early incarnation of Brainiac. My favorite part of the trailer was Faora’s line to Kal-El threatening to kill millions if he continues to fight. Very chilling. I’m hoping this movie shows the true extent and danger that more than one Kryptonian can present to the human populace. I know they sort of already did that with Superman II but let’s face it, it was a little bit on the lame side. The lameness is definitively evidenced here in another trailer below:
Apr 18, 2013 marked the 75th Anniversary of our introduction to one of the most iconic fictional characters of all time. Three quarters of a century later and Superman is still relevant and preparing to release a new movie. From the looks of things, this should be the first good Superman movie since 1980 when Christopher Reeve stared in Superman II.
It’s been over 30 years since we last had a great Superman movie (I’m looking at you Superman II) and now, with the impending return of General Zod, Warner Bros’ Man of Steel is hoping to break the slump created by the last 3 movies (Superman III, Superman IV: The Quest of Peace, and Superman Returns) and they have pictures popping up all over the place…
Well, the moment we have all been waiting for is finally here! No, not Christmas. No, not the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. No, not the 9 minutes of footage from Star Trek Into Darkness playing before The Hobbit. I’ll just tell you, since there is obviously a lot of things we are all waiting for right now. It’s the release of the official trailer for Man of Steel! We have only really seen two teasers so far, with very little footage revealed, so this trailer opens everything up a bit more.
