Man of Steel	comment	Man of Steel, released in 2013, is a movie based on the DC Comics superhero Superman, starring Henry Cavill in the role. Zack Snyder directed, Christopher Nolan served as producer and wrote the story, David S. Goyer and Nolan wrote the script, and Hans Zimmer composed the film's score. The film has no connection to Superman Returns or any other previous Superman film; instead, it serves as a Continuity Reboot that retells Superman's origin story (much the same as Nolan's Batman Begins did after the Batman film series). It became the cornerstone of the DC Extended Universe, Warner Bros/DC's shared comic book movie universe.On the distant planet Krypton, scientist Jor-El (Russell Crowe) recognizes the inevitability of his planet's destruction due to his society's arrogance and shortsightedness. In an attempt to preserve Krypton's future, he and his wife Lara Lor-Van (Ayelet Zurer) conceive a son, Kal-El, naturally—the first natural birth in generations because of a genetically-engineered caste system. Shortly after Kal-El's birth, the leader of Krypton's military, General Zod (Michael Shannon), attempts to take over Krypton in a military coup. Zod breaches Jor-El's laboratory and watches Jor-El and Lara send Kal-El off to a distant planet, along with the genetic keys to the Kryptonian race, so he and they can survive Krypton's destruction. Zod kills Jor-El in retaliation, and his coup attempt quickly fails. He and his henchmen are then banished to the Phantom Zone. Not long after the banishment takes place, true to the late Jor-El's predictions, Krypton implodes.Kal-El arrives on Earth and grows up with the Kents, Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha (Diane Lane), loving parents who give him the name "Clark". Clark finds himself with a wide array of superhuman abilities and wanders the world as an adult, helping people in trouble whenever possible but fleeing out of the fear of not being accepted. When he finds an ancient spacecraft of Kryptonian origin in the Arctic, he receives the answers to questions he has long asked himself; these answers give Clark hope that the right approach will allow him to co-exist with humanity as a hero. But talented reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams)—and, later on, Zod (who managed to break out of the Phantom Zone)—ultimately force Clark to reveal himself to the world... just before Zod and his remaining followers imperil Earth and humankind in an attempt to create a new Krypton.Man of Steel Prequel, a comic book starring Kara Zor-El, was released shortly before the release of the film, and it explained how the Kryptonian spacecraft landed on Earth. A follow up Crossover film with Batman, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, was released in 2016.

Man of Steel / int_1049848f	type	Aliens Speaking English
Man of Steel / int_1049848f	comment	Aliens Speaking English: The scenes on Krypton could have been Translation Convention, and of course, Clark has spent nearly his whole life on Earth, but it gets a little weird when the other Kryptonians have little trouble speaking perfect English as soon as they land. The landing message demanding Clark's surrender was broadcast all over the world, shown in whatever the native language of the area is. We can assume that they've figured out how to communicate in whatever languages are necessary.

Man of Steel / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: The tie-in prequel comic (which is presumably completely canon, since its story is credited to Goyer) reveals that Thanagar exists in this continuity — as does Kara Zor-El, whose ship crash-lands in Canada thousands of years before the beginning of the film. How Clark goes from a full beard to clean-shaven is never explained, though in the comics (and the TV show Lois & Clark), he shaves with heat vision and a mirror (or other reflective surfaces). The omission is kind of a cop-out since a Gillette ad campaign to promote the film was "How Does He Shave?"

Man of Steel / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Man of Steel / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: Faora states that Superman having morality, and she and the warrior Kryptonians not having it, gives the latter an evolutionary advantage. This is not how altruistic behavior works: in nature, empathy and altruism allow all animals (not just humans) to build strong communities, whereas groups where everyone is for themselves die off after one generation. In other words, morality and mutual aid is exactly what gave mankind, and presumably Kryptonians as a whole, an evolutionary advantage. In-universe example. Historically, Superman's strength always came from absorbing the energy of the Sun, but at no point was it recorded that the air composition has any effect on it. Superman can go on without air at all (in space), by running on energy stored in his cells (replenishing it, which is what the body needs oxygen for in the first place).

Man of Steel / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers adopted a very dark look and tone in order to attract the same viewers of The Dark Knight Trilogy. They also tended to play very somber music and philosophical voiceovers in order to make the film seem very intellectual and quiet. However, the quiet moments showcased in those trailers are perhaps the only ones in the movie, which is in fact actually full of massive city destroying action. Some of the louder scenes were even dubbed over with sad music rather than the actual heroic themes during then.

So our first image of him is of a man of steel. Zod attacks Superman with an I-beam. Supes parries with an Eye Beam. Since Krypton's codex (which contains the genetics for all to be created Kryptonians) is encoded in Kal-El's cells, he is literally an everyman. When Superman confronts the World Engine in the Indian ocean, it attempts to crush him with the beam that is reordering Earth's gravity to Krypton's heavier one. Superman is not only not crushed, he flies straight up THROUGH the beam to destroy the machine. He literally has the ''weight of the/a world' on his shoulders, and he endures it. After Zod hits Superman with that partially melted I-Beam, Supes is on his knees in front of the General. That's right. He kneels before Zod!

Man of Steel / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: The Codex. It turns out to be encoded in Clark's own cells, thus giving Zod a reason to kill Clark so he can extract it from his corpse. The Kryptonian spacecraft key with Jor-El's digital avatar stored on it. Lois uses it to summon Jor-El while imprisoned on Zod's spaceship so that she can escape and find a way to defeat Zod. Clark's inability to control his enhanced senses as a child. It turns out to be an important detail when he goes up against Zod's soldiers, who haven't had a lifetime to acclimate to their sun-enhanced abilities. The sensory overload quickly incapacitates them when their environmental suits are breached. Zod ultimately figures his abilities out, but Clark's lifetime on Earth is likely a trump card in the end. The hyperdrive on Clark's spacecraft. It's made from the same technology as the Kryptonian prisoners' hyperdrive — which they made by converting the Phantom Zone projector — since Jor-El designed both spacecraft. With the help of Jor-El's Virtual Ghost, the military is able to use it to create a kind of singularity that reclaims all the Kryptonians in reach.

Man of Steel / int_22ecc839	comment	Kryptonite Factor: Actual Kryptonite does not appear in the movie, but following more modern interpretations of Superman lore it is ALL of Earth ecosystem that gives Superman his powers, not just having a yellow sun. As a result changing the Earth-like conditions in any form weakens him to some degree, and all out exposure to Krypton's native environment makes him human-level. On another front, young Clark had a difficult time adjusting to his Super-Senses before learning to control them, likewise Zod and the other Kryptonians are overwhelmed by direct exposure to Earth's environment and the yellow sun.

Later echoed by Hardy before he knocks Faora back into the Phantom Zone. A more dramatic but subtle use of this trope: A vortex, the tornado, claims the life of Jonathan, as he was unwilling to allow Clark to jeopardize himself and his freedom by trying to save him, and both were still not fully knowledgeable then of the extent of Clark's powers. Later as Superman, Clark has his allies create another vortex, the singularity, to eliminate the Kryptonian invaders, as they were unwilling to let go of their dead homeworld or coexist on Earth or find another planet, and Clark was fully knowledgeable of what they planned to do and the powers any Kryptonian living on Earth would have.

Man of Steel / int_2b1db021	comment	Flight Is the Final Power: Clark is shown as a child and young adult, mastering his Super-Strength, x-ray vision, and other powers. But it's not until he receives tutelage from a holographic version of his father Jor-El that he focuses enough to learn to fly and takes up the mantle of Superman. A villainous version: General Zod and the other Kryptonians begin developing similar powers when they reach Earth, after being exposed to the yellow sun. After showing his destructive power via heat vision and strength, Zod proves his adaptability by learning flight faster than Clark did, putting them on the same power level.

It's quite possible that this experience causes him to develop the "there's always another way" code (although that would make him self-deluded, mentally blocking out the obvious question: What was his third option, pull a Kryptonite prison out of Hammerspace?).

Man of Steel / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Man of Steel / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While this Superman is very clearly a Destructive Savior given the property damage and death toll of the Kryptonian invasion, It was certainly going to happen as: Even an experienced and skilled super-powered hero wouldn't be able to avoid some damage if they were fighting another equally powered being. That damage is going to go up when you increase the number of enemies. That number increased further when the enemies are trained soldiers and used to bringing devastation and violence if only to distract or deceive their enemy never mind using civilian targets as a shield to psychologically shake the enemy. The collateral-damage and catastrophic-death-toll of a battle in a densely-populated city like Metropolis is nightmarish if the hero has no experience in actual combat. The carnage left by Clark Kent and Zod's battle, not to mention the orphaned children and crippled survivors, in fact, directly leads to Batman's vendetta in the following film. The Kryptonians' difficulty in dealing with their new super-senses. Imagine how you would feel if you could suddenly hear a spider walking over a wall, or a conversation in a building on the other side of the city - now multiply that by all the conversations happening in that city... Though minor, Jonathan Kent is shown to be hesitant on Clark saving people. For instance, Jonathan saying "maybe" to Clark when questioned about whether Clark was supposed to have let the drowning kids die shows that even the wisest figure doesn't know how to resolve this dilemma. Usually in Superman stories, Jonathan always comes up with a solution and gives heartwarming advice. However, in this movie, he can't because he just doesn't know, it's an impossible question: the future of all mankind versus a dozen innocent lives.

He's forced to Walk the Earth because he's afraid what people will do when they discover his abilities, but he can't blend in for long because of his Samaritan Syndrome. Lois flat out tells him that the only way he'll stay completely hidden is to stop saving people. He's slightly hampered in his fight with the Kryptonians by the fact that he's trying to protect human bystanders at the same time. Faora calls him out on it, saying that lacking morality makes the Kryptonians more fit to survive.

You can spot a LexCorp building during the Zod/Superman fight. Zod also throws a tanker truck with the company logo at Superman during said fight. After Zod smacks Superman into a construction site, Superman crashes into a "Days without accident" sign. Blink and you'll miss it: the impact knocks off the numbers and changes from 106 to 0 at the moment of impact. The satellite that is destroyed in the fight belongs to Wayne Enterprises. If you are paying attention to the flashback scene where Clark is pushed, there's a sign for "Sullivan's auto parts". During the scene when Zod activates his heat vision for the first time, you can see a poster on an office desk next to Superman which reads: "Keep Calm and Call Batman".

Man of Steel / int_70489c17	type	Superman Stays Out of Gotham
Man of Steel / int_70489c17	comment	Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Wonder Woman has been around in Man's world since 1918 and, although she restrained from helping mankind, will take part to the fight against Doomsday in Batman v Superman as she feels he is too big a threat to the world not to intervene again. The media coverage of the World Engine and its vibrations were likely felt worldwide, so she might have been wanting to step in against Zod and his crew, but she was probably too far away. It's probably better to consider the latter, given that Gal Gadot was cast over a year after the film came out, the decision to include Wonder Woman in the setting very likely came after Man of Steel was made. Revised with Batman. The beginning of Batman v Superman shows that Bruce Wayne himself was in Metropolis during the battle. Not seeing him is justified, as Batman had no chance to prepare for the Kryptonians and would have been of no help against them. The Flash (2023) reveals that Barry Allen tried to help in Metropolis, but he had only just gained his powers so his efforts were ineffectual.

Man of Steel / int_7175cb16	comment	Clark Kenting: Deconstructed and reconstructed. Clark doesn't have his two personas because he's not sure he will be accepted in any form. Lois tracks "the alien" through his aliases and good deeds, taking physical appearance out of the equation until she finds him at home. But what makes his Clark Kenting work is the variety of looks he takes on, shifting from including a full beard working on a fishing boat, partial stubble working at a diner and clean-shaven with his hair slicked back when he puts on the costume. In fact, he is pretty much invisible as "Joe" when he and Lois first meet, no more than an extra. When he joins the Daily Planet at the end of the film, he has messy hair and a pair of very thick glasses (which he almost forgot to put on), lots of conflicting patterns and a tweed jacket and a less-commanding voice. Lois recognizes him immediately, but the new twist in this series is her being a Secret-Keeper from the start.

Krypton is way ahead of Earth technologically, but even we know that a planet needs a core to survive. Justified, however, in that the Kryptonians are intensely xenophobic. While they have the capability to go off-world, even before considering their potential for superpowers, it's considered extremely distasteful to do so. Zod is one of the very few who see value on other worlds, unfortunately for everyone else. The military, whose repeated attempts to shoot the superpowered, angry, enemy Kryptonians or your one ally from their kind do more harm to civilians and property than it is worth.

Both soldiers and workers are supposed to let themselves be guided by the philosophers. The young Clark reading Plato in one scene is most likely a shout-out to "the Republic".

This decision is mirrored in the finale. During the final fight between Superman and General Zod one of the many things that gets destroyed in the process is an oil tanker with a company logo on it. The name of the company that the logo belongs to? LexCorp . The Wayne Enterprises satellite. Zod telling Superman about how every act of violence he's ever committed has been for the greater good of his people. Superman would then kill Zod to save humanity.

Man of Steel / int_a9667a3b	comment	Hero Insurance: The fights in Metropolis must have killed hundreds, if not thousands of people, and run up a repair bill in the billions (three guesses whose MegaCorp is going to end up bankrolling that?). Some time is taken to show how terrifying it would be to be a civilian on the ground with buildings collapsing in every direction. However, it's still nothing compared to the total destruction of humanity. This extends to Smallville too. Its downtown is almost leveled by the fight there and includes an explosion at a gas station. Superman fights Zod and/or his warriors in Smallville and later Metropolis despite being outclassed, and so a lot of damage happens. His attempts at knocking or throwing them away are invariably countered, at one point, reaching Earth's orbit. Most of the time, he's smashed into buildings by their attacks but sometimes he does the same (granted, into apparently empty or unfinished ones). The damage is compounded by attempts by the US military to intervene. Superman later also willfully trashes a multi-million dollar spy drone that has been snooping on him to make a point to the military to get off his back.

Man of Steel / int_c94f1109	comment	Artistic License â€“ Chemistry: Jonathan Kent tells Clark about taking the "key" from his spaceship to the University to have it analyzed, and being told the material it's made from doesn't match anything on our Periodic Table, and "that's just another way of saying it's not from this planet." That statement is wrong on just about every possible level.ExplanationThe Periodic Table of Elements is based on how it's physically possible for atoms to form; how many protons, neutrons, and electrons make up an atom. An element that doesn't match the Periodic Table (and many that do) would be a transuranic element so radioactive it would decay (sometimes in fractions of nanoseconds) into more stable elements. There are hypothetical "islands of stability" where there might be stable or semi-stable transuranic elements, but those would still fit on "our" Periodic Table. Everything in the universe is made of the same chemical elements, the Periodic Table is not unique to Earth. Unless Krypton is in some kind of alternate reality from Earth with different subatomic particles, or their materials science is so advanced they can create synthetic bosons, the material of Clark's ship would be recognizable, if undiscovered, on Earth. Arguably it could be that the "key" isn't not made of the everyday particles, it's that it confounds analysis e.g. it "masks" itself electromagnetically, is much harder than diamond to scratch and might "mechanically" interfere with chemical reactions on an nanomachine-scale. So it doesn't match anything in context.

Even though Superman and the remains of the satellite are in freefall, with no way to control their descent, and Zod aimed at him rather than at the city itself, they plummet right back into Metropolis as though they were anchored to it, where in reality they should have overshot the city by hundreds if not thousands of miles.

Man of Steel / int_d7639dba	comment	Achilles' Heel: A rather clever one; Clark is overwhelmed by his burgeoning Super-Senses and other powers, and takes some time to control them. He realizes in his first major confrontation that Zod and his crew are using sealed-atmosphere Powered Armor that minimize the reactions they get from the yellow sun. By breaking those seals, they are overwhelmed just as much as young Clark was. Zod later comments that it is a weakness they will adapt to and later fights Superman with all those same powers. The film also offers another Logical Weakness for Superman besides the stand-bys of red sun energy and Kryptonite. Specifically, the entire ecosphere of Earth (gravity, sun, atmosphere) is the source of his powers, when exposed to the atmosphere of Krypton aboard Zod's ship he almost dies before adapting, and remains human-level under its effects.

A huge, non-verbal bruiser distinguished by his incredible strength and loyalty to Zod? Nam-Ek is this film's stand-in for Non. Laurence Fishburne based his Perry White on 60 Minutes member Ed Bradley. Both even have a pierced ear. Jenny was rumored to be a gender-flipped Jimmy Olsen, but the movie reveals her surname is "Jurwich" by the end (and high-resolution publicity shots showing her ID card will reveal this, too). Confusingly, a tie-in book does name her as "Jenny Olsen." General Swanick is one for General Sam Lane (Lois' father), who has a prominent role in one of this film's sources, Superman: Secret Origin.

Man of Steel / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: The film made $170 million in deals with promotional partners even before it was released. During Superman and Zod's battle in Smallville, they rip through a 7-11. Pete is stated to work at an IHOP, which is where Lois finds him. Superman and Zod eventually crash through Pete's IHOP during their fight. Martha works at Sears, as evidenced by the Sears uniform just visible beneath her coat when Lois comes knocking. Superman and Zod finish fighting in front of a Sears. When Superman takes off, the Sears storefront takes up most of the screen. When Lois is following Clark onto the ancient ship, she places her Nikon camera atop a surface before lifting herself up. The logo is blatantly placed in front of the camera and with full view of the near-mint device. Just before she triggers a Kryptonian robot, the camera zooms in on the flash, which also has the Nikon logo on it. After the camera is broken, there's a brief closeup of the camera being broken, with the logo conveniently being legible. In the very next scene, we see an airman sleeping with his feet on the desk. As the readings on the monitor start to go haywire, there's a brief shot of the corner of the screen, part of his boots, and the monitor's HP Compaq label with the model number. Played with by having in-universe brands appear in plain view, such as a tanker truck and building site sporting the LexCorp logo and a satellite with the Wayne Enterprises logo.

Man of Steel / int_f8ba8ea8	type	Movie Superheroes Wear Black
Man of Steel / int_f8ba8ea8	comment	Movie Superheroes Wear Black: The red and blue in Superman's costume are darker and deeper than in the comics and previous movies. Notice how his "S" shield shines more and more brightly as the presumably yellow base of the suit appears after continual attacks. In contrast, the enemy Kryptonian suits and their crests remain black.

But when he breaks out of his battle suit during the final battle, he becomes as equally powerful as Superman, with the ability to fly and use heat vision.

Man of Steel / int_fec81854	comment	Sensory Overload: A conventional blinding flash is used by Jor-El's service robot Kel-Ex to blind the Zod loyalists who were escorting him from the council chamber after Zod instigated his coup. Young Clark suffered from this and the Kents taught him to be able to focus on just what he needed. Happens to Zod when his helmet is damaged by a repeat pounding from Superman, leaving him unable to filter his Super-Senses, though he adapts later on.

Even his final moments trying to fry innocents with Heat Vision while in a choke hold is basically pleading for him to end it.
