Man of Steel (2013)

I doubt it has anything to do with girlpower. She more or less did the same thing to him in their first on-panel encounter pre-crisis.

It's a matter of skill and willpower. Faora is a general, and had a mind for battle that Superman didn't. If she had been a man she still would have whipped him their first time around.

Superman, in the comics, has been through countless battles. That's why he has a deeper understanding of his Kryptonian powers on our terraclean globe than Kryptonians like Faora and Supergirl in certain comic continuity. That's why he's able to become intangible and overcome Doomsday where as before Doomsday literally killed him.

However, this is Superman starting out against threats, it's a film series where he has less encounters than a tv show like Smallville, and far less so than in comicdom.

Nice post.

This movie should be better than the last embarrassment they put into theatres.

Chris Nolan says this will be bigger the Dark Knight.

He says Superman calls for better treatment of the audience more or less because he is the gourmet course, that's my summary.

Here Nolan says MOS is going looking to deliver awe, and expects he shall impress.

MOS's super-powered interactions with the earth will be based on real physics.

Henry Cavill is "handsome, charming" and, most importantly, he's "big" enough for a Superman.

I believe in Chris Nolan despite haters...

The Black Zero army of Zod's attacks the Kent Farm in Smallville Kansas, I can't wait to see him cut loose.

Cautiously optimistic atm.

looks good.. definitely believe this has a boatload of promise

That looks f*cking amazing. Man, I am so hyped for this movie!

At 2:18, you can see LexCorp in the background. I also think it's worth noting that there's a man in a mech suit at 2:19. Also, Mackenzie Gray was casted as a character in this movie. I've got a good guess as to who he'll be playing. He also played a clone of Lex Luthor in Smallville at some point.

Good call, I saw that and thought it was one of Zod's crew in some manner of Kryptonian armor. Seems you're spot on though.

Assuming you're not being sarcastic: He doesn't wear the pants in the comics anymore, so it ties together.
