Fan-Made Posters & Empire Magazine Covers For “Man of Steel”
With the summer season upon us, marketing for Warner Bros. upcoming Superman reboot has pumped out two new collectible covers for Empire Magazine, as well as two fan-made posters.
The two fan-made posters (top two pictured above) put the Man of Steel front and center, and despite being fan-made, are pretty damn good as well. On the other side, the two Empire Magazine covers highlight the film’s protagonist and antagonist in Henry Cavill’s Superman and Michael Shannon’s General Zod. Both covers will be available for the magazine’s June release.
Man of Steel hits theaters June 14th and also stars Russell Crowe, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Christopher Meloni and Laurence Fishburne.

Third Official Trailer For “Man of Steel”
Warner Bros. has officially released the third trailer for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.
In contrast to the second trailer, which slowly built up the introduction of Superman, the new 3-minute trailer gives a more extended glimpse at what Clark Kent will battle internally and externally, especially showing him in action both with and without the red cape.
It also gives a better look at Michael Shannon’s General Zod and Amy Adam’s Lois Lane.
Man of Steel is set to release nationwide on June 14 of this year.
