"MAN OF STEEL" MOVIE NEWS

So we finally have the first image of Henry Cavill as Superman. The "S" on the suit seems to be similar to the Jim Lee Superman design in the comics as seen in the image below. It makes me wonder if the new look for Superman in September was inspired by the upcoming movie.

In other Superman news, Laurence Fishburne has been cast as Perry White, the editor of the Daily Planet.

Traditionally this role has been played by caucasian actors in the past such as Frank Langella ("Superman Returns") the late, great Jackie Cooper (in the Christopher Reeve "Superman" movies) and the late, great Lane Smith (in the "Lois and Clark" TV show). Despite the change of racial background, I have no problem with Fishburne as Perry and I wonder how he'll interpret the role.
