Nolan and Zack Snyder, definitely an interesting team. There are already rumors now that Zod is going to be the villain.
I have to say I'm excited that it "appears" they aren't going to go totally out of left field and do something stupid and out of character for Superman. [Reply]
.. I have to wonder why Zod would come to Earth harassing Supes though; why not just let him be? What was the comic book history behind that?
I thought I heard that Superman, in this movie, is different than most Kryptonians. Maybe he's hunting him because he's not like the rest... and he hates Russell Crowe. [Reply]
Kal-El is a natural conception on Krypton, whereas everyone else has been genetically engineered, his very existence is illegal - according to the EW article a month or so ago

General Zod started a revolution on Krypton. Jar-El had the final vote on their eternal imprisonment and Zod vowed to make Jar and his heirs pay for it.
Zod and his two accomplices were imprisoned in some kind of prism that got destroyed by the destruction of Krypton.
Kal is the only one left to seek revenge upon. [Reply]
They have all of their powers on Earth because Krypton had a red sun and the pure density of their atmosphere makes them invulnerable and gives them powers in ours. [Reply]

Really?!
Not sure how I feel about this.
Spoiler!
I want Zod to be a true physical threat to Superman and if he is artificial, then he might be less powerful and this is beginning to sound like the Matrix type crap.
As I recall (and I didn't delve too deeply into the spoilers) it was more about kryptonians being engineered to fill certain roles in society. Which might actually mean that Zod is more dangerous, being engineered I assume as a soldier.
It appears maybe Supes's dad is still alive, as well as a decent sized Kryptonian army..
If Keg's spoilers are right
Spoiler!
Then maybe Jor-El fucked his bitch, made Superman and didn't want him to have to be killed so he sent him off to Earth. Maybe Krypton isn't destroyed in this new movie.
The trailers for this have been incredible but lets not forget who's directing this. Snyder who is VERY hit or miss. Sucker Punch was one of the worst movies in the last 5 years.
Lets hope Nolan's influence changed Snyder into a good/decent filmmaker. I have my doubts but we shall see.
That being said, I can't wait for this cause the summer has pretty much sucked so far(Iron Man 3 was crap and Star Trek 2 was just so so and I just cant get into the Fast & Furious movies or the Hangover movies so I'll be skipping both of those). There is still hope though. We have Man of Steel, Only God Forgives, Elysium, Pacific Rim and some others that I can't think of right now. [Reply]
