The fourth theatrical trailer for Man of Steel does what no previous trailer for the Superman reboot has done yet, setting up a legitimate threat to the mightiest superhero around, and showing off just how mighty these Kryptonians look in action.

"Superman is the most powerful, but also the most vulnerable superhero you can imagine," director Zack Snyder says in a new featurette packed with previously unseen footage from next month's Man of Steel.

In addition to a featurette mixing insight-nuggets from the cast and creative figures with action-packed super-footage, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have also unveiled two new banners for the reboot, one featuring Henry Cavill zipping through the sky as Superman and the other showing his nemesis General Zod barreling towards our hero.

As of today, we are one month out from the domestic release of Man of Steel.  And we're marking this occasion with a bumper crop of promotional material from the theatrical reboot of superhero among superheroes.

Unlike, say, Cyclops, Superman has a boatload of powers and abilities.  That boatload of superpowers is reflected today in the variety of varying goodies, from an action-packed and messianic TV spot through three featurettes and up to a propulsive full track from the musical score by Hans Zimmer.

The latest TV spot for Man of Steel ladles on the messianic imagery even harder than its predecessors, but gives Russell Crowe a break from gravitas duty. 

It's a stunner nonetheless, and its accompanied by yet another poster, one that should go at least a little way towards making you believe a man can fly.

After playing stingy with Man of Steel posters during a hype season that has seen movies like The Hangover Part III getting fifteen – fifteen! – one sheets, Warner Bros. is now letting the supercat of the superbag, with two new posters for next month's Superman reboot.

Look! Down on your screen!  It's a bird.  It's a plane. 

It's a Man of Steel TV spot from across the pond in the United Kingdom!

Your daily fix of Man of Steel-related news nuggets has arrived.

Today, we've bundled a visual and an aural treat.  Warner Bros. has issued a new banner that should start showing up at local multiplexes and on the sides of buses in no time.  In addition, the entirety of a familiar cue from Hans Zimmer's score for the Superman reboot has landed online, giving a good sense of what we can expect from the music of Man of Steel.

When Christopher Nolan wants  Oscar-caliber actors, Christopher Nolan gets Oscar-caliber actors.

The two latest are Jessica Chastain and Michael Caine, both of whom are joining Nolan's science-fiction adventure Interstellar.

2013 is a good year for superheroes with flowing red capes.  There's another Thor arriving in November – the teaser for that one even included a cape gag in the Marvel logo – but first we have the return of the superheroic grandpappy Superman with this summer's Man of Steel.

A brand spanking new banner for the reboot puts Henry Cavill not front and center, but instead positions Supes front and off to one side, with his crimson cape taking up most of the image.

The teaser poster for Man of Steel, unveiled late last year, had Superman in an unfamiliar position: bound in handcuffs, with some serious military men flanking him.

On the official one sheet, however, Superman is unchained and taking to the skies above Metropolis at what appears to be breakneck speed.
