The new Superman movie, Superman:Man of Steel releases to Theaters on June 14th. 

The movie will feature a couple of new super powers that he has never shown before and also will be described as the most "realistic" Superman movie according to the directors. They wanted to get into the science of why Superman has his powers and if they would grow the longer he stays closer to the sun. 

"A child sent to Earth from a dying planet is adopted by a couple in rural Kansas. Posing as a journalist, he uses his extraordinary powers to protect his new home from an insidious evil."
