Warner Bros. released an initial teaser trailer for Man of Steel, DC’s new Superman reboot starring Henry Cavill as Superman. Directed by Zack Snyder, the initial trailer gives us lots of slow moving montage, little story, and Clark Kent who apparently is working with Forest Gump and Bubba as a shrimp fisherman. I’m so confused. Amy AdamsRussell CroweKevin CostnerDiane LaneMichael ShannonLaurence Fishburne, and Tahmoh Penikett also star. Man of Steel opens in theaters next June.

At Comic-Con Marvel Studios made several official announcements concerning their next slate of comic book movies currently in the works and set to hit theaters over the next two years. Yes, Edgar Wright‘s Ant-Man is going forward. Yes, Iron Man 3 will star Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin. Yes, the Guardians of the Galaxy (complete with Rocket Racoon) will make their big-screen debut in 2014. And we’ve also got new titles for two of the sequels. Thor: The Dark World doesn’t offer much in terms of hints as to the plot but Captain America: The Winter Soldier sure as hell does (there are also reports that Anthony Mackie has signed on to play the Falcon). Check out more of the promo posters (and concept art for Guardians of the Galaxy) inside.

There’s a new Green Lantern in town

Green LanternTV Guide reported yesterday that when Green Lantern: The Animated Series returns for its second season this Fall a new character will join the cast – Guy Gardner. It seems Gardner replaced Hal Jordan as Green Lantern of space sector 2814 during Hal’s lengthy absence last season. Now with Hal back things should get interesting. Kudos to the show not only for using Guy but also the choice of Diedrich Bader (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) to voice him. Well played.
