Three new production featurettes for Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman film Man of Steel have been released (below) by Norton Anti-Virus. Yup. You know - the comic book-loving, computer protection programme (maybe Kryptonite is a new piece of malware).
There are a few glimpses of the film outside of those featured in the three trailers released so far, but interviews with cast and crew are also included. Each featurette focuses on a different one of Kal-El's powers: Strength, Flight and Speed.
"In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha and Jonathan Kent, Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as 'Superman,' not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves."
