“We’re approaching Superman as if it weren’t a comic book movie, as if it were real.”
“I adore the Donner films. Absolutely adore them. It just struck me that there was an idealist quality to them that may or may not work with today’s audience. It just struck me that if Superman really existed in the world, first of all this story would be a story about first contact.”
“He’s an alien. You can easily imagine a scenario in which we’d be doing a film like E.T., as opposed to him running around in tights. If the world found out he existed, it would be the biggest thing that ever happened in human history. It falls into that idea of trying to humanize the inhuman. He’s made out of steel, he’s not made out of flesh, metaphorically speaking. We are portraying him as a man, yet he’s not a man.”
“It is obviously a much longer process with a character like Superman. It is much easier to do a realistic take on Batman. You know nothing can hurt Superman, presumably other than Kryptonite. The challenge was simply: can we figure out a way to make those elements work, quote unquote, in the real world? It’s very much a story of a man with two fathers.”

These two quotes are the most interesting. As of now, we don't know if 'Clark Kent' is going to appear in the film (as in, we don't know how are they going to play with the 'human' persona, don'ty take the sentence literally). I wonder how are they going to present the 'human Superman' then. Maybe make the hero be 'just a man' at the same time and forget about dual personalities? What do you think?

The movie is going to be pretty dark in atmosphere, given that Superman is rejected by humanity. I foreshadow that, once Supes beats Zod and get the humans' trust, it's going to be a bit more idealistic (the last act and the ending, basically).
'Off-topic'... Do you think Man of Steel is getting a Superbowl Tv Spot this Sunday? Iron Man and Star Trek have already confirmed theirs. I mean, Superman... Superbowl...You can't make it easier than that.
Un lladre es un artista. Fa servir la imaginació per lluirse cuan roba el seu trofeu. Els detectius només analitzen el delicte i ens denuncien. Els detectius son uns simples critics.

Lex can come later. I really like what Goyer said about this film being about a man with two fathers.
Im really looking forward to seeing Supermans ideals and beliefs tested as he grows to discover who he is. Zod is perfect to make that difficult for him.
