New ‘MAN OF STEEL’ pics are HAIRY CHESTED THUNDER.

Oh. Hai.

I say goddamn! Superman has himself some sweaty, glorious pectoral muscles in the latest batch of Man of Steel pictures. Amid the din of both Iron Man 3, and Star Wars Into Darkness (heh) or whatever, I continually forget this piggy is coming home to roost. What an errant bastard I am! These pictures serve as a quality reminder that there is going to be a shard of Kryptonite in my pants later this summer. And I suppose I’m happy to see you, too.

/Film:

We knew that the guiding principle behind Zack Snyder‘s new Superman revival Man of Steel was to make the alien superhero make sense in a modern era. And while we don’t know precisely how he and his actors and crew have accomplished this, but thefirst footage from the film does gieve some indication. We see Clark Kent and his alter-ego Superman (Henry Cavill) having what appears to be a crisis of conscience or morality, and doing some serious soul-searching.

New images from the film have hit the web, and while they don’t exactly pinpoint more details of Snyder’s approach, a couple of his accompanying comments are useful.

Total Film has these images (via io9).
