Three new posters for The Man Of Steel have dropped, courtesy of Warner Bros., featuring Superman (proving Henry Cavill has the heroic look down), Micheal Shannon's menacing Zod, and a bad ass, gun toting Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Superman's birth father. As awesome as all the posters and footage for the movie that has been released lately is, it is just making the wait even longer. I'm seriously thinking of just hibernating till June 14th!
Synopsis:
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes “Man of Steel,” starring Henry Cavill (“Immortals,” TV’s “The Tudors”) in the role of Clark Kent/Superman, under the direction of Zack Snyder (“300,” “Watchmen”).
