Warner Bros Releases Zod Viral Video!!!


General Zod (Michael Shannon) addresses the planet earth demanding they turn over the one named Kal El in this second viral marketing piece from Warner Bros.

Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill hits theaters June 14, 2013.

I think it's cool.  Seems a little direct but were sure to not see this until the second act if it is included in the film at all.   I'm still waiting for the release of the first 6 minutes if that is to become a thing you do now a days.

Man of Steel | Entertainment Weekly Cover & Photos



This Week's Cover: Behind the soulful new 'Man of Steel' by EW staff Tags: CapeTown: Movies, Comic Books, Man of Steel, This Week's Cover, Movies Comments + Add comment 1255-1256-EW-COVER-MANOFSTEEL.jpg The makers of Man of Steel had to start thinking like a cadre of supervillains: how do you get under Superman’s invincible skin and really make him hurt? This week’s cover story reveals how the new film (out June 14) attempts to humanize the superhuman by finding new flaws and vulnerabilities. The most common one, however, was off the table: “I’ll be honest with you, there’s no Kryptonite in the movie,” says director Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) Those glowing green space rocks – Superman’s only crippling weakness – have turned up so often as a plot point in movies, the only fresh option was not to use it. Anyway, if you want to make an audience relate to a character, a galactic allergy isn’t the way to do it. Henry Cavill (Immortals), the latest star to wear the red cape, instead plays a Superman who isn’t fully comfortable with that god-like title. This film reveals that even on Krypton, young Kal-El was a special child, whose birth was cause for alarm on his home planet. (More on that in the magazine) And once on Earth, his adoptive parents, Ma and Pa Kent (Kevin Costner and Diane Lane), urge him not to use his immense strength – even in dire emergencies — warning that not every human would be as accepting of him as they are. So Clark Kent grows up feeling isolated, longing for a connection to others, and constantly hiding who he is. As a result, Man of Steel presents the frustrated Superman, the angry Superman, the lost Superman. “Although he is not susceptible to the frailties of mankind, he is definitely susceptible to the emotional frailties,” Cavill says. That’s just the set-up. Once the Kryptonian villain General Zod (Boardwalk Empire’s Michael Shannon) arrives to threaten the Earth, eventually the passionate Superman steps forward, too. It helps that he has a reason to care about the home he’s defending, and we can all thank Amy Adams’ Lois Lane for that. “I think she’s very transient. She’s ready to pick up and go at a moment’s notice,” Adams says of the hard-bitten journalist. “I think that definitely could be part of what she sees in Superman — not really laying down roots, not developing trust.” GET EW ON YOUR TABLET: Subscribe today and get instant access! Based on footage EW has seen, the film (which was directed by Zack Snyder and shepherded by Christopher Nolan) has plenty of building-smashing, train-slinging, heat-vision-blasting battles to cut through the emotional heaviness. “You want to give the audience great spectacle. You want them to go to the movie, be eating their popcorn and be like, ‘Wow!’” says Man of Steel producer Charles Roven, who also worked on The Dark Knight trilogy. “But it’s just not good enough to give them the ‘Wow.’ You want them to be emotionally engaged. Because if you just have the ‘wow,’ ultimately you get bludgeoned by that and you stop caring.” Those who’ve long felt the super-confident, super-controlled Superman has gotten super dull may be glad to see him finally challenged in ways that go beyond bullets bouncing off of his chest.

Watch the Full Review on GeekSummit's YouTube Channel


I came home to a box on my doorstep this afternoon and what did I see looking back at me?

These guys looked great. The likeness was dead on in the face, the packaging was bright and VERY red. I was pretty excited. Watch the full review video below.

Shortly after opening the first one I went straight to the shop to give him an additional paint overhaul. I used a black wash to give some depth to the chainmail and silver ribbing and added a wired fabric cape.  I also added a little articulation to the hips to give him more arch for flying poses as well as added articulation to the neck to improve the range of motion. These guys look awesome. I can't wait until the rest of the set hits retail in May!!

Man of Steel | Movie Masters hit Ebay!!!

It's happened... Man of Steel Movie Masters have found their first debut on ebay this week. At first I thought it was yet another April Fools prank but eBay is hardly the place to pull something like that for several reasons. At first I was hesitant to hit Buy It Now (mostly because of their feedback panel) but I made sure to contact the seller to make sure this was no pre-sale or pre-order or some other junk like that and I got a speedy response back that these were in stock and ready to go.

Now this won't take the fun out of the official retail release that we'll see in May/June at all but I did want to get one of these as soon as humanly possible. MSRP @ $14.99 I paid $26.99 for mine... then ordered a second one (Superman only) the seller had full sets of the first 3 figures as well for $69.99 but I think that came to be once they realized these were selling VERY quickly... The price is now $27.99 each so expect to see that go up as quantities dwindle as well.

But here we are with full presentations of the front and backs of the first 3 figures to be released.

Jor El • Superman • General Zod

Here we have a good look at the bios (though blurry on some) to give really no deeper insight into the characters or plots. General Zod's is the only one that reveals any new news that there are more Kryptonians than just himself and Faora along with Kal-El.

While I'm excited about the release of these I'm still not crazy about their color scheme being so Red-Heavy. But I know they need to step away from the deeper scheme of Dark  Knight Rises to set themselves apart at retail. Though I'm still a fan of my Custom Packaging Prototype.

Man of Steel | Best Buy Exclusive Premium Figure Surfaces

Another chance find online turned up this Henry Cavill Man of Steel premium figure. Though it is listed as a Best Buy figure it does seem a little early in the game even for China. These are typically attached to DVD releases but it seems to be consistent with the Best Buy/DC Direct releases of limited articulation.




Figure is listed as being 3.5" tall featuring only  articulation in the shoulders and possibly the head. He comes on a base as is typical of the Best Buy/DC Direct realeases. If nothing else it could be a birthday cake topper?
