Although it was always a given really, we had yet to see Superman use his heat vision powers in any of the trailers or promo materials for Man Of Steel, and some fans were a bit concerned that Snyder would be dropping it for this more "grounded" take on the character. Well fear not - if these images are anything to go by, Supes will be frying the bad guys like a boss. I mean after all, how else was he gonna shave that beard off?
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.
Man Of Steel will be with us June 14th, 2013.
