He was convinced that the world wasn’t ready.” And based on a shot of handcuffed Superman walking in the custody of a SWAT team — much as he appeared in a recent movie poster — it seems like Pa Kent might be right.
Eagle-eyed viewers can also get quick glimpses of the Fortress of Solitude, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Russell Crowe as Superman’s Kryptonian father, Jor-El, and Michael Shannon as General Zod. Oh, and explosions. Lots and lots of explosions.
