Man of Steel Teaser

Damn it Jim, Superhero, not a fisherman

Man of Steel Teaser

Concerns over the choice of director for Man Of Steel, the new Superman reboot are ever so slightly allayed in the first footage from the film.

Watchmen and 300 director Zack Snyder is in the chair and many fear his 'use sledgehammers to drive nails' approach to movie-making could turn this all new franchise pear-shaped in its first outing.

But what you get in this teaser is a moody, subtle work of pure suspense. Here's the same footage, different narration:

Marc Chacksfield
Content Director

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
