First look at Henry Cavill as Superman in Zack Snyder’s feature film

The last survivor of the doomed planet Krypton, Superman remains the most successful superhero in the comic book medium. Able to perform superhuman feats and invulnerable to most any form of attack, Superman’s greatest strength is traditionally his moral stance on cruelty and injustice. Despite all this, the Man of Tomorrow, Superman has been something of a bug bear for Warn Bros. who failed to recapture the lightning Richard Donner’s film enjoyed.

Shepherded by Chris Nolan who managed to not only salvage Batman from the jaws of failure but return the caped crusader to the pinnacle of profits, the next Superman film hopes to restart the hero, so long as viewers forget the Bryan Singer movie.

Here’s another image released earlier of Cavil and Adams creating a key Clark Kent/Lois Lane scene.

Screenplay by David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan, Superman: The Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, Amy Adams as reporter Louis Lane, Michael Shannon as the evil Kryptonian General Zod, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Ma and Pa Kent and Laurence Fishburne as Daily Planet publisher Perry White. Russell Crowe is also reportedly playing Superman’s father Jor-El… which I find difficult to believe.

Superman: Man of Steel currently has a release date of June 14, 2013, the Summer following the Avengers/Dark Knight Rises/Spider-Man triple hitter. However, The Man of Steel will have plenty of company in 2013 with Marvel sequels Thor 2 and Iron Man 3.

Here’s a retrospective from the folks at SupermanTV.net:
