set visits. Lots of cool stuff in there.

Got something to mention, i'll blank it out, its not very spoilerish but I know some might get their knickers in a twist anyway

It mentions explaining much more about his suit, it's back story and what it can do .I think this will be the nano-tech thing. Initially I was worried the suit was going to be what made him fly. But then I noticed another bit says that he develops more powers the longer he is on earth, so that kinda of puts my fear to rest, it also explains why haven't seen any of the other Kryptonians flying yet.

BURBANK, CA (May 30, 2013) – In celebration of the 75th anniversary of Superman, Warner Bros. Entertainment and DC Entertainment have revealed plans befitting one of the most popular and enduring Super Heroes of all time.

To honor Superman—the world’s first Super Hero—for reaching such an incredible milestone, the companies are kicking off a year of celebration including a new commemorative Superman 75th anniversary logo as well as an animated short tribute chronicling the rich 75-year history of the character, it was announced today by Kevin Tsujihara, Chief Executive Officer, Warner Bros. Entertainment.

First appearing in the comic book Action Comics #1, dated June 1938, Superman quickly became a cultural icon, winning fans around the world in live-action and animated form in nearly every known entertainment medium. In feature films, TV shows, radio, video games, publishing and merchandise, he has battled some of the greatest villains ever created in his endless pursuit of truth, justice and the American way.

Tsujihara stated, “Warner Bros. is privileged to be home to the global Superman brand, which has had an unparalleled impact on popular culture for 75 years. We are proud to commemorate this milestone with exciting entertainment across the entire Studio and across the globe, ensuring this enduring icon reaches new generations of audiences.”

DC Entertainment and the Studio’s various divisions, including Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Animation, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and Warner Bros. Consumer Products, will mark this extraordinary anniversary with a range of highly anticipated events and products, kicking off with the release of the much anticipated summer-blockbuster “Man of Steel.”

The new animated short, currently in production, is being produced by Zack Snyder and pays homage to Superman and many iterations of the Super Hero throughout his 75 years. A sneak peek of this short is planned for Comic-Con International: San Diego in July and the finished version will debut late summer.

The new commemorative logo takes its cue from the iconic Superman costume, featuring predominantly blue coloring with a splash of red and highlights a bold silhouette of the Man of Steel with his cape waving behind him and the block-style lettering of “75 Years.” The mark will be rolled out by all the divisions on Superman-related promotions, products and initiatives. DC Entertainment will be the first to feature the new logo on the upcoming Superman Unchained comic book by artist Jim Lee and writer Scott Snyder, on sale Wednesday, June 12.

“Superman is undeniably the greatest Super Hero in the world and likely the most influential comic book character of all time,” according to Diane Nelson, President, DC Entertainment. “In addition to being an enduring presence in pop culture for the last 75 years, he continues to be a commanding global icon. DC Entertainment and all of Warner Bros. look forward to celebrating this important, year-long anniversary for Superman.”

In tandem with the various special celebrations comes the release of this summer’s tent pole action adventure feature “Man of Steel,” opening in theaters nationwide June 14.

Jeff Robinov, President, Warner Bros. Pictures Group, stated, “Superman is a larger-than-life figure, making the big screen the perfect place to experience his adventures, and ‘Man of Steel’ delivers with first rate story-telling that is broadly entertaining. It couldn’t be more fitting that the centerpiece of our summer slate hits theaters during this commemorative year.”

“It’s a great honor for all of us involved in ‘Man of Steel’ to carry on the tradition of Superman for longtime fans as well as a new generation of moviegoers,” director Zack Snyder said. “I’m so excited to share the movie with them and to be a part of this celebration.”

Superman enthusiasts can also look forward to much more, including:

“Injustice: Gods Among Us,” a new fighting game franchise that allows players to experience the power, gadgetry and unparalleled strength of some of the most popular DC Comics Super Heroes and Super-Villains such as Superman and Lex Luthor, was released on April 16 from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

“Superman: Unbound,” an all-new DC Universe Animated Original Movie that pits Superman against Brainiac—a devastating force of flesh and machine with Earth squarely in his sights—was released on May 7 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

“Man of Steel” and Superman products are available for fans of all ages, including toys, costumes, apparel, party goods and publishing from Warner Bros. Consumer Products.

“Superman Unchained,” the much anticipated new comic book series that centers on a mystery that is frustrating the hero in both the Superman and Clark Kent aspects of his identity ultimately revealing a brand-new villain, debuts on June 12 from DC Entertainment.

“Infinite Crisis,” an all-new multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game that delivers a heart-pounding competitive player vs. player battle experience set in the legendary DC Multiverse, a world in which familiar DC Comics characters such as Superman have been reimagined in startling ways, debuts in fall of 2013 from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

“DC Nation” Superman Shorts, a series of all-new Superman-themed animated shorts produced by Warner Bros. Animation and airing on Cartoon Network’s DC Nation block throughout the year.

DC Entertainment’s “We Can Be Heroes” giving campaign launches its second crowdfunding initiative in June focused on Superman and featuring one-of-a-kind experiences and limited edition merchandise to engage, excite and empower legions of fans. Get something good. Do something great.

TWO WEEKS MOTHERFUCKERS! Dahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!

[Deleted]

I said I wouldn't but the temptation to check out this full Zimmer track "Flight" was too great.

[Keith]

Ahh... the video is blocked!! Anyone have it converted to mp3 for download?

[Deleted]

I did! I'll see if i can upload it.

Anyway, I feel like my excitement has grown a little too much, so I need to reel in my expectations here. I'm going to keep telling myself 'this is a Snyder film, it cant possibly be great'

[Deleted]

I'm going in with a three star mentality. Nothing can go wrong with that. If it's worse, eh, not by much, if it's great, hooray!

I can't believe in two weeks, I'll have seen this.

[eccentricbeing]

Just have the daily troubles of your life make you forget this movie for next two weeks. So when the time comes to see it, you'll be at least delighted to see it and take in what it gives you. But to do this, you gotta abstain from all of the TV spots and goodies.

[Deleted]

Easier said than done. Im definitely setting myself up for disappointment with getting carried away with trailers though.

Im doing a whole load of overtime over the next couple of weeks so that should keep me occupied!

absolutely. it IS difficult though.
i was just saying how i was proud of myself for NOT looking at all the TV spots- but damn- theyre ALL OVER TV! ;D
seriously- i hardly EVER watch TV- and damn if i havent seen a LOT of tv spots. i guess thats good. as rare as i look at tv for it to be often- not just on nerd stuff or cartoon network, but while watchin "hannibal" !!! ;D

but i'm like kev on this.
what do i really want? i cannot POSSIBLY be getting "superman the movie-AGAIN" because im NOT 4 years old! ;D
after some HUGELY overrated (and sometimes INSULTING) "blockbusters" this year- what i really want is a superman movie that has superman full out like the comics or S:TAS/JLU.
i KNOW thats what im going to see.

do i want superman and lois to fly around for 10 minutes while lois recites shitty poems?
no.
do i imagine having the youthful naivete of a child?
no.
do i feel better knowing snyder is NOT using slo-mo?
yes.
what really can i expect?

a BIG "origin of superman" spectacle. what more could anyone ask?
give me a krypton thats eery and alien and dune-ish. give me a pa kent that makes me think he'll backhand anyone that hassles his kid. give me a superman in balls-to-wall action. i'll take it.

we've been asking. we are getting. i dont need a heady/arty film here. it cant possibly be as dumb as "into darkness".

[Deleted]

I just hope we're not too disappointed, still got this thing at the back of my head which says I'm going to be let down, but hey, thats completely natural I suppose.

I wish we were getting TV spots here left, right and centre! hardly seen any, yet I see a fecking tv spot for 'After Earth' every 5 minutes.

There's no way in heck this movie wont be great, not after seeing all the footage, its looks fantastic...Its fresh and i'm sure there's plot twists and surprise characters..This movie will be one for the ages..

[Deleted]

I admire your confidence, and I hope you're right. But in the past we've seen great trailers only for the film itself to fall flat.

Fingers crossed it works well as a film, people are entertained and enjoy it.

[Deleted]

You folks know I don't watch a ton of TV, but yeah, the TV spots are really hammering the public. It was on during the American Idol finale. I've seen it while watching baseball. Following Monday Night Raw, USA Network showed the three-minute trailer. As I lie in bed, typing this on my iPad, I can hear a TV spot on whatever shit show my wife is watching in the living room.

[Deleted]

Watch this be the straw to break the camel's back. The public at large just doesn't give a single shit about this. "Ugh, ANOTHER superhero movie? Done!" ;D

[Shane]

superhero films are keeping hollywood afloat

[Deleted]

What else should we expect for actuon/adventure? The 80s/90s version of action ain't coming back, no matter how many "Expendables" flicks get made. The characters have to be the stars now, because there are so few stars. Guy like The Rock could have been as big as Schwarzenegger but made some really stupid choices with his projects. He's ony now becoming the action star he should have been 10 years ago when he left WWE.

Wow! That's totally true now.

From an old comic nerd's perpsective growing up in a supehero movie wasteland- that's freaking amazing .... It wasn't a given that STM was going to turn the superhero movie into an ongoing genre that survived---- now, later on, with Spiderman and the Avengers joining the billion dollar club, it really does look like there's no turning back.

.

Great point. The 80s/90s type of action picture has died, with the superhero action picture taking its place.... but since technology has advanced so much with movie fx, (and continues to) maybe it's just the best timing for that to happen anyways...
