Man of Steel

Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill as Superman and was directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen, Sucker Punch). I’m curious to see the movie, although I already know I disagree with the ending, and the special features should put it in new context for me. My interest stems from the impressive casting — the Kents are played by Diane Lane and Kevin Costner, while Amy Adams is Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne Perry White, and Russell Crowe Jor-El. All are Oscar nominees or winners.

Here’s the extras list. For the Blu-ray packs and Collector’s Edition:

  • Journey of Discovery: Creating “Man of Steel” — This immersive feature-length experience allows you to watch the movie with director Zack Snyder and stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, and others as they share the incredible journey to re-imagine Superman.
  • Strong Characters, Legendary Roles — Explore the legendary characters of the Superman mythology and how they have evolved in this new iteration of the Superman story.
  • All-Out Action — Go inside the intense training regimen that sculpted Henry Cavill into the Man of Steel and Michael Shannon and Antje Traue into his Kyptonian nemeses. Includes interviews with cast and crew.
  • Krypton Decoded — Dylan Sprayberry (Clark Kent, age 13) gives the lowdown on all the amazing Krypton tech, weapons and spaceships featured in “Man of Steel.”
  • Planet Krypton – The world’s first exploration of Krypton and its lost society.

On the DVD Special Edition, you get the middle three. The Collector’s Edition “also includes a limited release metal “S” glyph with lucite glass stand”, as shown below.
