Much like fellow DC comic book movie title The Dark Knight Rises, Zack Snyder’s Superman: Man of Steel has been the subject of much speculation and a whole lot in the way of unsubstantiated rumor. Just yesterday there was “news” that the Superman reboot would essentially amount to an adaptation of Geoff John’s “Superman: Secret Origin”.
There’s another supposed Man of Steel plot synopsis currently making its way round the Web right now – along with a slightly more credible rumor that newcomer Adam Harris is in the midst of auditioning to play Lex Luthor in the film.
Here’s the Man of Steel plot description that’s popped up on both MovieNewz and Superman Superworld:
In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here?
