I would dig that.

To me, Zod is the obvious choice since Mortinsen can play insane and vile, while still being eerily calm and calculated

Viggo would make one hell of a Zod.

Hmmm....if the stuff about the first act of the movie being Clark spending time in Africa before coming home and creating the costume is true, it sounds an awful lot like the Birthright origin, where Luthor finds out that Superman is an alien and tries to discredit him by faking a Kryptonian invasion. Maybe in the movie, instead of faking one, he accidentally opens up the Phantom Zone and causes a real invasion by letting out Zod.

Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins is the template for Zack Snyder’s new Superman movie, which will likely be titled Man of Steel. Snyder is rebooting the franchise by going with the premise that there have been no other Superman movies. Snyder told the L.A. Times’ Hero Complex, “If you look at Batman Begins, there’s the (comic book) canon that we know and respect, but on the other hand there’s this approach that pre-supposes that there haven’t been any other movies.”

Snyder wants to take this reboot the franchise, Batman Begins approach to his new Superman movie, “In every aspect of design, and of story, the whole thing is very much from the perspective of respect the canon, but don’t be a slave to the movies.”

Snyder was coy about additional casting announcements, which are likely to come soon, since Man of Steel is slated to debut in December of 2012, saying only: “There’s more to come and I think it’s consistent in its awesomeness.” Several rumors have connected Kevin Costner to the production, but there has been no confirmation. So far the only casting announcements have been Henry Cavill as Superman (see “Henry Cavill is Superman”) and Diane Lane as Martha Kent (see “Diane Lane Will Be Supes’ Mom”).

Really hope the new Superman is good, but dunno about Zack Snyder. I know he has made stuff that is generally well "liked", but all of his stuff has left me underwhelmed.

Shame, good innings though i guess.

They got two things right, but the material seems...

Probably a bad picture. I had thought(hoped?) that they'd use the 2010 'street' attire, but classic Di is in.

Late edit, but thanks anyway!

Well, now I just look like a jerk. Posting the same picture.

Anyways, costume is "ok". Seems like she is wearing way too much makeup though.

yeah, it is not great.

also someone from inception is playing holiday in dkr. looks like they're going the long halloween route. brb will find a link.

oh shit it's joseph gordon-levitt. "someone from inception". man, poor form.

If this ends up being true, it's going to be interesting to see if Nolan ties in the Holiday Killer gimmick, or just has Alberto playing the role of mob boss, much like Carmine and Maroni did in the previous two films.

Amy Adams to play Lois Lane in the new Superman movie.

There's a lot of contrary rumours going around right now over who he's playing. Some say Alberto, some say not.

I hope Amy Adams keeps the red hair for the role. She's a good choice.

Wonder Woman Costume Updated:

Looks better than the reveal, and the red boots makes a difference for me. She seems awkward with the classic top, and I can't help but think the modern WW jacket would complete the look.

Side note: Anyone think a crossover with Smallville could help launch the show mid-season? It wouldn't hurt.

Different channels.

Also, yeah, this tweaked costume looks better. Toned down the blue, and red boots.

So Warner plans to reboot Batman again after the Dark Knight Rises for the Justice league movie.

I don't see this Justice league movie happening in 2013. I think it strongly hinges on the Avengers.

As the costume grows on me, I must say she does look great. Nice shoulders, hair, eyes, and the rack of course. I read she's actually fairly tall, too. As hard as it is casting somebody this iconic, they did well for the brief search they did.

That Wonder Woman costume is stupid.

Have a feeling I will dislike this movie just because of the CGI

I still think it was miscast hell, but heavy CGI was expected. The suit being CGI was a gamble I think they will lose, though.

Should have just made a 100% CGI movie.

Not working.

Krispy, is that you?

Gotta find out the shooting schedule and see if I can get a walk-on role...

Michael Shannon is General Zod in the officially titled "Man of Steel" Superman movie. Zod's cronies Ursa and Non are likely to accompany.

Still iffy about using Zod again, but Michael Shannon does come off as pretty "intimidating" in Boardwalk Empire.

Zod is a cool villain.

Personally I would've preferred Brainiac, but Zod works. At least we'll get to see him in a proper super-powered fistfight.

ehh...Zod is cool but I guess I would have preferred to see someone else.

If he doesn't say "kneel before Zod" at some point in the movie where Superman actually has to kneel to him, I will be extremely disappointed.

Yeah that's a must. Smallville had fun with that.
