May 1, 2013: SFX Magazine #235 Celebrates "Man of Steel"

SFX #235 SFX #235 Issue #235 of SFX Magazine not only features Superman on the cover, but there's also an eight page article on "Man of Steel".

SFX speak to director Zack Snyder about the making of "Man of Steel", and how he feels about launching a new Superman movie amongst all the other Superhero movies coming this year.

    "It's Superman! If you get that right, that's the question you'll be asking everyone else. That should be the question you are asking Iron Man and Thor. How is it you can feel you can be making a superhero movie in a world where Superman and Batman exist?"

    "They truely are pure archetypes. They are literally Biblical," Snyder continued. "If you get the DC characters right they can be important, they can be about us. It's not just a romp. That's the fun, for me, of working on this movie. We got that it was important. We weren't apologising for Superman, which I feel has happened in the past. It's Superman, for God's sake. He's a thing to be celebrated."

PLUS! An interview with Superman himself, Henry Cavill!

    How did you feel the first time you walked on set wearing that costume?

    It felt pretty incredible, actually. I'm not going to lie. You put it on and you think okay, this is day one of work - day one of being Superman, and you've got a whole crew here who are invested in making a Superman movie. I was all wrapped up in this very sticky waterproof black cape thing, so no paparazzi could get shots or anything like that. And it was roasting hot, it was over 100 degrees in Chicago. And it's that moment of going, "This is me, unveiling myself as Superman to the crew." And there was a slight aspect of nerves, but it was more about excitement. People weren't waiting to judge - everyone is sitting there rubbing their hands together with glee, going, "We finally get to see what we're creating here!" It was an incredible feeling, wearing the suit, after all the work I'd done and everyone else had done in putting the suit together. It just felt like the right moment. It felt bang on. Really exciting.

The magazine also celebrates the charater's 75th anniversary with an article on the 75 Secrets of Superman.

    To mark the 75th anniversary of Kal-El we reveal 75 Super-secrets going all the way back to his first appearance and the story behind the iconic "S" crest.
