DC Women Kicking Ass

Thoughts, pictures, reviews and other stuff about the women in comics who kick ass.
"... just a dreadful little site that just basically compiles lists."- poster/DC Comics forum
"... provides a much-needed voice that is not often heard on traditional comic sites." - Wired's Geek Dad
... she's pretty amazingly ignorant of comics outside of the Batverse and some recent Wonder Woman, and seems pretty clueless about the way the industry works. That and she doesn't write that well at all." anonymous poster, Dreamwidth

Man of Steel Digital Comic Features an Interesting Guest Star

Earlier today DC posted a preview to a bonus digital comic written by David Goyer being offered with pre-orders of the Man of Steel Blu-Ray combo pack. Seems a bit early given the movie isn’t even out yet. And perhaps it was because the preview has been pulled from the DC Comics site.

But not before the comic pages were downloaded! The comic was drawn by long time Superman artist Jerry Ordway. And there’s a very familiar character appearing in the first few pages.

And it’s not that guy.

New Man of Steel TV Ad Offers New Images

New TV ads for Man of Steel debuted last night during Modern Family. This is the shorter of the two and it has a bit of new footage in it including Superman flying above Earth and him screaming. There’s only a small glimpse of Lois. The other trailer has the interrogation room scene.

Looks like there will be a reference to that famous Zod line in Man of Steel

The WB shop has debuted lots of new t-shirts this morning for Man of Steel  featuring Superman, his logo, and his villain (no Lois though). I thought one of the Zod shirts was interesting. A few months ago Michael Shannon had revealed he did not say the famous “Kneel Before Zod” line in the movie. And that may be true. But this shirt suggests that he might.

Here’s a look at some of the other oodles of shirts now available:

I don’t know why this one couldn’t have had Lois.

But it’s nice they have few shirts for the ladeez!

Ah well, I’ll have to make my own Lois and Superman one.

Does the New Man of Steel Trailer Make You Want to See the Movie?

I’ve been fairly critical of the trailers for Man of Steel but the one that debuted last night was galaxies better than the last two. Also Lois Lane.

But what about you? Did the trailer sell the movie for you? 

Vote now!

Also what was your favorite part of the trailer? The interview at the end was definitely mine.

Man of Steel Viral Campaign to Lead to Debut of New Trailer Tuesday

On Sunday night Warner Bros. debuted on the Man of Steel site a video from General Zod warning earthlings that they have been “sheltering” one of his citizens and demands his return. A billboard is also driving fans to the site Iwillfindhim.com owned by Warner Bros. where it is suspected that the trailer will debut on Tuesday based on Kryptonian numbers that went up yesterday on the site following General Zod’s message.

Let’s hope this new trailer moves beyond the lyrical, emo tone of the first two trailers.

New Wave of Man of Steel Viral Campaign Begins

Earlier this week I bemoaned the lack of viral activity for Man of Steel given the movie’s opening was just two months away. Today, concurrent with the movie landing on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, it appears the next campaign has kicked off on the Man of Steel site. Visitors are shown a video feed filled with video and audio static.

What does it mean? It probably means the debut of the third trailer is very soon!

First Man of Steel TV Spot Debuts

The good news? Lois is in it. I am, however, a bit concerned with the tone.  It’s been 9 months since the first trailer appeared and we are still seeing promos focusing on Clark figuring out who he is and what his mission is. Is this a commercial going to grab the same folks who went to Avengers and will be going to Iron Man 3? 

I’m also concerned about the lack of viral marketing for the movie. Perhaps they are waiting to get out of the way of Iron Man 3 on the 18th, but with MOS opening in 65 days you’d think you see a push. The Dark Knight Rises, by comparison, had a viral campaign kick-off in April for a July opening.  

Man of Steel, however, is not much anticipated conclusion of a trilogy like TDKR. Let’s hope we see some marketing push very soon.

Cavill and Adams Hit the Cover of TotalFilm

The May issue of TotalFilm seems to feature a new publicity picture of Henry Cavill and Amy Adams as Superman and Lois Lane from the upcoming Warner Bros. film Man of Steel. The cover was posted to Divine Intervention, a Lois and Clark fan site.

Is it real? It sure looks it. The costumes are correct and the number on the issue is correct as well. I’m trying to confirm now. I’ve got another shot of the cover from someone else so it’s legit.

What do you think?
