?Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel. Huh. Honestly, I don’t have strong feelings about this — partially that’s because the Superman suit can only be done “right” or “wrong,” and when it’s right all it means is you don’t botch about it — but the twisted metal behind him may imply that Superman has punched things, or at least touched them forcefully, in which case we’re already looking at a considerable improvement over Superman Returns. Thanks to everyone who sen this in.

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
