The new Man of Steel poster features Superman in shackles
Dec. 3, 2012
Up until today I have not been as excited for MAN OF STEEL as I should have been. Sure, I am looking forward to seeing a new Superman movie, but the teasers and poster have not given me any indication that we are in store for something that astonishing. Aside from the casting of Michael Shannon as Zod, I really have been neutral.
This new poster revealed today on Facebook has completely changed my stance on the film. I am now excited for MAN OF STEEL. How can one simple poster do that? Easy, just take a look.
Superman in shackles. That is an iconic image if I have ever seen one. The sheer idea that handcuffs could contain the MAN OF STEEL is hilarious. But, obviously something is going to happen that will either take Superman's powers or paint him as the villain. Either way, MAN OF STEEL is going to give us a different Superman than we have seen before.
Zack Snyder seems to be taking a more xenophobic stance with MAN OF STEEL. Where in prior films he was looked at as a savior, it looks like now people will be more wary of this alien with amazing powers. I think this is something sorely missing from the teasers which came across as more laconic than fans anticipated.
MAN OF STEEL opens June 14, 2013.

In the leaked script Superman is cuffed to be given over to Zod, and Superman allows this. Why did he have to be cuffed, especially when it is established that everyone (including Zod) knows how strong Superman is? This is Goyer logic at its best. The guy writes for shit.

Awesome!
Awesome!
The Handcuff thing makes sense.
It's totally like Superman to let himself be arrested, let us think we can control him than and learn to trust him.
Anyone not getting that clearly doesn't understand Superman.

Say what you will...
Poor Photoshop
That said, I'm very excited about this movie. This poster is shit though. Is the quality of the image supposed to be this poor or is it a picture of a picture type thing?

Oh wow! Look how realistic it is. Superman is being arrested.

I'm excited for this movie, but I hope the marketing is better than this.

I still don't like the guy playing him...
It's just a frame grab from the teaser trailer. Was expecting something a bit more 'epic'.

Voluntary surrenders to hash out a deal with the great Super Power?

Boo!
Great poster...
In Nolan we Trust!
i love the direction they are taking with this Superman. The tone of the teaser, was amazing and really hammered the man behind superman, glad they will focus on pa kent and how much he defined clark and this moral values. I wonder how they will incorporate Jor-el (russell crowe) with a big name like crowe im sure there will be enough Jor-el Screen time, i just wonder if and how Jor-El will inspire

(maybe via hologram flashbacks)
This movie seems more about the man then the super(which is awesome!), than again we havent seen any scenes with Zod!
so happy Superman can test his strength and wits against an equal opponent
Awwww Shit
