First Look at the New Man of Steel

　　Warner Brothers has released the first image of its new Man of Steel. The scene, which you can see below, suggests a decidedly darker take on Superman than we are used to from recent big screen incarnations.
Henry Cavill plays the title role in the Zack Snyder-directed reboot. While he doubtless has the acting talent to pull of the dual roles of Clark Kent and Supes, we’re inclined to say that Cavill looks a little too square-jawed in this shot for our tastes. There’s a hint of the new Spider-Man suit about the look of his new outfit, too. Seems like superheroes are going for textures these days.
Notwithstanding these first impressions, we are optimistic that Man of Steel will hit the mark when it’s released. Too bad that isn’t until 2013. At least that gives Warner Brothers lots of time to tease us with tidbits like this, though.

　　The star-studded cast of Man of Steel includes Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Laurence Fishburne, Christopher Meloni and Julia Ormond. Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight Rises) co-created the story and is among the producers.
