See a bit of the Man Of Steel

This image hit the web sometime yesterday. The first official image of Henry Cavill as the "Man Of Steel". The film seems to be a reboot of the 2006 reboot and as such may ignore all of the events in that film.

I can't find much out about the film apart from a US release date of July 2013 and a, possible, synopsis.

HENRY CAVILL as Superman in Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' action adventure "MAN OF STEEL,"

Super-powered Clark Kent has traveled the world for years as a journalist trying to find his place in the world. Arriving in Metropolis, he realizes his place and potential as the world's greatest hero: Superman.

An immediate hero, he soon comes across the path of Lex Luthor, a business mogul who owns almost all of Metropolis through corrupt and illegal methods with the help of crime syndicate Intergang. Their battle is soon disrupted by the dramatic appearance of an alien ship and Brainiac, a rogue alien super computer who has come in search of an all powerful crystal.

He recognizes Superman as the owner of the crystal revealing his origin as an alien and holds the world to ransom in exchange for the crystal. Superman must find the strength to defeat Brainiac by using the full extent of his powers, will and hope for humanity and discover his true origins to become the greatest hero of them all.
