November 9, 2013: "Man of Steel" Live Fan Event

The "Man of Steel Live Fan Event" took place on Yahoo! Movies at 12 noon EST/9am PST on Saturday November 9th, 2013. It was a celebration of the release of "Man of Steel" on Blu-Ray and it was hosted by comic book afficianado Kevin Smith. Smith opened the show and he was wearing a hybrid Man of Steel/Islanders hockey jersey. Also present for the event were Amy Adams (Lois Lane) and Zack Snyder (Director). Via satellite up-link from London was Henry Cavill (Clark Kent/Superman), who wore a suit jacket adorned with a red poppy for "Remembrance Day" in England.

Smith started by praising Snyder, saying he has been a longtime fan of Snyder's films and that he often watches "more talented" filmmakers works in order to improve his own directing skills. Smith made it abundantly clear he was thrilled to be hosting the event and that he loved "Man of Steel." He then introduced Amy Adams, whom he said was the most perfect choice for Lois Lane and that "with one look," first shown in the trailer, she'd been able to convey over 60 years of who Lois was and what she meant to the Superman mythology. When Smith introduced Cavill, on a three second delay, he announced him as being incredibly soulful as Superman, as well as being "cut from God's own marble."

There were many nuggets of behind the scenes thoughts and info throughout, with a question from our own Steve Younis. Nothing specific was really said or given away about the sequel, which many are calling "Batman vs. Superman," but Snyder did say he'd asked some of his artist friends to create some artwork taking some of the rumors and speculation and showing us what that might look like. Snyder said he thinks it will be fun to work with the emotional and character differences between Superman and Batman. He also said there will be many personal and emotional moments of difference between the characters, but, he says, also some physical conflicts.

The artwork will be auctioned off to help raise funds for the "We Can Be Heroes" charity aimed at helping children in Africa. Here are a few of the items, by artists Alex Pardee, Jonathan Wayshak and David Correia. Visit the eBay auction site for further details.
