Man of Steel asks tough questions that the upbeat mythology has largely sidestepped until now: What happens when he can’t save everyone who needs his help? What if he chose not to rescue someone? And what if he had no choice but to kill? Ready or not, the world is about to find out in this epic new origin saga. We flash back to formative moments for Kal, raised as a humble Kansas farm boy by the adoptive Kents, pondering his unique destiny and unsure of what to do with his extraordinary powers in adulthood. With a fearful agenda that spells certain doom for us all. This secret is of all-consuming interest to one General Zod, who, along with a band of loyal soldiers, manages to escape Kryptonian justice
He predicts that young Kal-El will grow to become a god to us Terrans, but he also gifts Kal with a mysterious remnant of his ill-fated people. Here, planet Krypton is home to a dying civilization with a penchant for capes, brought to the brink of extinction by their own folly, and so their greatest mind (and quite the hand-to-hand fighter) Jor-El dispatches his newborn son to Earth. The basic story is recognizable to even the most casual fans, yet much has changed, so it doesn’t feel like a rehash of any version we’ve seen before. Many folks seem to either love or loathe Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder and producer/co-writer Christopher Nolan’s major reboot of the Superman franchise. Whenever you dramatize one of the most beloved characters in all of popular culture, you’re going to elicit a lot of strong opinions.
