Man of Steel Poster

Warner Bros. released two teaser trailers (Jonathan Kent and Jor-El) and a new poster at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 that gave a glimpse at the upcoming Man of Steel film, which will be a reboot of the classic Superman film series. Man of Steel is scheduled to be flying into theaters on June 14, 2013. Director Zack Snyder, moderator Chris Hardwick, and Superman actor Henry Cavill gave more insight into the film during their Comic-Con panel. A couple interesting facts were that this Superman movie will be headed in a darker direction and also that a short teaser trailer will be attached to the film The Dark Knight Rises starting Friday July 20, 2012.

A child sent to Earth from a dying planet is adopted by a couple in rural Kansas. Posing as a journalist, he uses his extraordinary powers to protect his new home from an insidious evil.

Here is a Man of Steel synopsis from IMDb:

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.
