Amy is seen here at a 7-11, having a gas attendant fill up her tank. The very same 7-11 that is rumored to be rigged with explosives. 

I just assumed Amy would dye her hair darker for the role.  This doesn't seem to be the case. So..can Lois Lane have red hair??

Rumors of a Batman and Superman team-up movie like the World’s Finest Comics have been around for a long time. The rumors have always been fueled by strong fan desire and some legitimate past interest from Warner Bros. Now, the website Think McFly Think is reporting that Warner Bros. is quietly developing a Batman and Superman team-up movie.

According to Think McFly Think, there are two different storylines being considered for the Batman/Superman movie. One version would have Batman mentoring Superman, while the other version would be the exact opposite with Superman mentoring Batman. Which version would be developed apparently hinges on if Christian Bale can be lured back into the Batman role or if Warner Bros. would have to go with a new actor.

As Man of Steel shoots in Plano, Illinois, this video news report covers the reactions from local residents about such a massive production taking place in their town.

By ANDY SCHEIN. Shooting in Plano, Illinois (Aug. 9, 2011). Kevin Costner, Henry Cavill and Diane Lane (as the Kents) shoot a scene for upcoming "Superman: Man of Steel" movie directed by Zack Snyder. The actors get out of a car as extras run past them.

Warner Bros. this morning released the inaugural image of Henry Cavill as Superman in what seems to be quite an adrenaline-surging action scene (though since production hasn't yet begun on the Zack Snyder superhero flick, we're guessing this was just a painstakingly staged photo op for our benefit). Though for all the trouble they went to, they could've done with a tad better (if, albeit, slightly less dramatic) lighting scheme—while the red cape, signature "S" across the chest and well-filled-out (and oddly shiny) blue suit are all accounted for, it's hard to tell if he's also wearing the classic red trunks, or if WB changed up the color scheme. But seeing as what happened the last time costume liberties were taken (yeah, we're looking at you, Wonder Woman), we're gonna give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. The movie is due out June 14, 2013.

Oh yeah..his hair looks off as well..

What it was like putting on the suit?

“It’s extremely cool. There’s no other feeling like it. They just put it on, I turned around and look in the mirror and you can’t really play it cool – you sort of guffaw and laugh. I thought ‘OK, holy hell, this is real, it’s not a joke anymore. This is it…you’re doing it, you’re right in the middle of it.’”

Preparing his body for the role?

“I’m on 5000 calories a day… You’ve got to eat protein first, then a little bit of carbs…you’ve gotta keep your hunger levels going. I’m training two and a half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.”

Would he ever consider being James Bond again?

"That would be absolutely amazing. If they approached me on that I’d leap at the opportunity to do it. But that’s of course well away for the time being…”

Man Of Steel, starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Julia Ormond, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne with Christopher Meloni and Harry Lennix, the reboot is slated for theaters Mid-December 2013!

This is a shot of the set for the new movie Superman Man of Steel. This is taken in Plano, IL. They are setting up down here to film the Smallville scenes for the movie. The builings you see were built from scratch for the set they were not there prior. Still in the beginning stages but very cool.

Production on Man of Steel is set to begin in August and photos of the location sets being constructed in Plano, Ill., as well as photos of the construction of what will be the Kent farm.

Directed Zack Snyder (Sucker Punch, 300), produced by Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight) and starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner Russell Crowe, Christopher Meloni and Antje Traue.

Variety reports that Harry Lennix (The Matrix, Dollhouse) has been tapped to portray the role of General Swanwick in the film. No other details have been provided, which leaves much left to speculate considering Swanwick is not drawn from DC Comics' extensive line of characters.

Former Law & Order: SVU star Christopher Meloni was also rumored to be up for a role as a General; though there was no confirmation to that recent report. Man of Steel is scheduled to begin production in the coming months for a targeted theatrical release in December 2012.
