David S. Goyer, the screenwriter who has emerged as Warner Bros.’ go-to guy for DC Comics adaptations, with credits including all three of Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies and the new Superman film Man of Steel, answered an eager fan’s question about why Wonder Woman hasn’t made the jump to the big screen in a Thursday “Ask Me Anything” thread on Reddit. Regarding moving her to film as opposed to DC Comics’ other big characters, Goyer said Wonder Woman is “more difficult than Superman, who is also more difficult than Batman.”
I think one of the things that I loved the most was that [Pepper] really stepped into her power in all areas. You do see her as a very intelligent and articulate CEO; an equal in her relationship with Tony, where she wants her needs met as well, while still remaining a very supportive woman in his life; and of course she turns into… a superhero! Or sort of. It was a great transformation and I felt very lucky to be a part of it.

‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Set Pics Reveal First Look At Jamie Foxx’s Glowy Electro
If you were giddy at the prospect of seeing Oscar winner Jamie Foxx adorned with a lightning-bolt headpiece in his role as Electro in next year’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, brace yourself for disappointment.

New ‘Man of Steel’ Trailer Puts the (It’s Not An) ‘S’ In Superman
By Andy Khouri
The Kryptonian countdown clock running on I Will Find Him hit zero Tuesday night and revealed a new theatrical trailer for Man of Steel. Promoting the new Zack Snyder film based on the DC Comics superhero created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the clip answers the dour tone of the earlier presentations with some rousing, heroic business. Included are some tantalizing action shots and an exchange between Lois Lane and Superman that for many skeptical ComicsAlliance readers will earn the film more than the benefit of the doubt.
General Zod Demands Superman’s Surrender, Kneeling Presumably Optional [Video]
It’s probably too soon to say but it seems from this clip that Man of Steel will flip the script on the classic Zod-Superman story, with Michael Shannon’s Zod being the pursuer of Kal-El, who seems to be presented here as a Kryptonian fugitive that Earth’s been “sheltering.”
Meanwhile, some kind of Kryptonian countdown is happening at a website called I Will Find Him that seems to end sometime on Tuesday.
New ‘Man Of Steel’ Images Feature Zod, Jor-El, Daily Planet, The Kents
The folks over at ComicBookMovie have grabbed seven new images from director Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel out of Entertainment Weekly’s summer preview issue. They offer fans a slightly clearer look at characters only briefly seen in the trailers: namely Michael Shannon as General Zod and Russell Crowe as Jor-El.
A couple characters not seen in the trailers — Lawrence Fishburne’s Perry White and Antje Traue’s Kryptonian villain Faora — also show up in the shots, alongside characters we’ve seen plenty of: Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Ma and Pa Kent.
