Not only does this easter egg fall under the 'hardcore comic book geeks only' banner, it's only on screen for a second; when Jor-El first makes his escape from Zod's forces, the remnants of what looks to be a shattered moon stands out in the skies of Krypton. Comic book geeks will recognize the moon as not just any heavenly body, but Wegthor, one o...
It was no surprise to see Superman's parents Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van make an appearance in this origin story - they tend to be present in nearly every telling. But there was one inhabitant of the El household that us fans were delighted to see: Kelex, the robotic butler, and future caretaker of Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Introduced by John By...
We've pointed it out before, but that fact that Superman is able to claim two legendary outlaws as his father is too strange a coincidence to not mention here - Costner played Robin Hood in Kevin Reynolds' Robin Hood: The Prince of Thieves (1991); Crowe in Ridley Scott's Robin Hood (2010). The connections don't stop there: Reynolds would later dire...
The image of a young Clark Kent winning first prize in his science fair was revealed early on, establishing the relationship between Jonathan and his adopted son. But a closer look reveals that Clark wasn't enrolled in just any school, but 'Weisinger Primary School.' The image is a clear reference to comic book legend Mort Weisinger, who as editor ...
When Jonathan Kent tells Clark that he must "decide what kind of man he wants to be" while growing up in Smallville, one Easter egg is hard to miss: the massive 'Sullivan Truck & Tractor Repair' sign featured prominently behind them. Fans of Smallvillerecognize the nod to Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack), one of the central characters in the WB series...
This one was likely only caught by the most studious of Superman fans. Before embracing his calling as a caped superhero in the movie, Clark Kent spends his days working alongside burly truckers at the Cassidy Pub & Restaurant in Cordova, Alaska. Supermanhistorians will notice the immediate reference to artist Paul H. Cassidy (1911-2005), who may n...
With four Academy Award nominations under her belt already, Amy Adams is one of the most proven actors among Man of Steel's cast (and that's saying something). But her road to portraying Superman's love interest on the big screen wasn't an easy one, having previously auditioned for the role of Lois Lane in both Superman: Flyby and Bryan Singer's Su...
With the filmmakers applying a twist on the classic of Fortress of Solitude, Kal-El's retreat from Earth and into the culture and technology of Krypton is reimagined not as a cavern grown through crystals, but a crashed Kryptonian scout ship. In exploring the ship, Kal discovers a shriveled corpse in what appears to be a stasis pod of some sort. Ea...
The places that Snyder, Nolan and Goyer were looking to for inspiration were evident from the very first trailers; assuming fans were paying close attention. The pair of Man of Steel teasers- one narrated by Kevin Costner, the other by Russell Crowe - showed glimpses of a young Clark, overlaid with words of wisdom from his father(s). Jor-El's speec...
As further evidence that Mark Waid's "Superman: Birthright" was one comic arc that helped shape the DNA of Man of Steel, the early shots of Superman first learning to fly while in uniform feature him soaring over a scattering herd of zebras. The flying montage may be too fast-paced and frenzied to notice the fleeing animals, but the scene is unmist...

Apr 5, 2024 · Zack Snyder was a controversial filmmaker for DC, yet many fans agree that Man of Steel got some aspects of Superman right. With a new Superman on the horizon, it's worth examining which aspects of the hero's previous solo film did the Man of Steel justice.
