Man of Steel Plot Details Revealed

With Comic-Con fast approaching, director Zack Snyder will no doubt have plenty of Man of Steel goodness to showcase in San Diego. Until then, Warner Bros.' Superman reboot has been held under lock and key, with only a logo and the promotional image below to whet our appetites.

However, /Film reports that an update to the official IMAX website -- a posting which has already been removed -- has revealed two very important bits of information: one, the film will be in both 3D and IMAX (obviously); and two, we've also been given a new plot synopsis:

"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 his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question ‘Why am I here?’ Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope -- Superman."

Still a little vague, yes, but it does give us a general sense of what's to come. Also, since Man of Steel was not shot using IMAX cameras; the movie will be DMR up-converted for the final release.

Man of Steel is scheduled to hit theaters on June 14, 2013.

Dead or Alive 5 Collector’s Edition Revealed

Tecmo Koei has announced the Collector’s Edition for Dead or Alive 5. Available exclusively at GameStop, the set will include a steel case as well as premium swimsuit costumes for the game’s characters. A hardcover book, soundtrack CD and poster will also be included, and the set will be available for $79.99.

Beyond the Collector’s set, new pre-order bonuses were also announced. Anyone who pre-orders the game from GameStop will receive in-game bunny-style swimsuits for Kasumi, Leifang and Hitomi, and anyone who pre-orders from Amazon will receive “DOA Devils” black swimsuits for Christie, Tina and Ayane.

Dead or Alive 5 will hit stores on September 25, 2012. Earlier this week, Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi revealed that the game won’t include DLC fighters. It will, however, include a cameo from Virtua Fighter’s Akira Yuki, as announced earlier this year.

For our thoughts on the game, check out our hands-on impressions from last year, as well as highlights from IGN Pro League’s Dead or Alive 5 tournament during E3.
