Viral 'Man of Steel' Video From General Zod

The villain issues a stern warning to Kal-El and the citizens of Earth.

Well, it looks like we potentially know why Superman goes willingly in handcuffs. The viral campaign for Man of Steel has begun and the official Facebook page released a video message from General Zod the other day. Titled "You Are Not Alone," Zod demands for Earth to hand over the Kryptonian... or face severe consequences.

As for the handcuffs, it seems fair to assume Kal resists at first, but then Zod lives up to his threat and Superman feels like he has no other choice but to be handed over. What do you think, Viners? Personally, this film is soaking most of my hype when it comes to comic book movies.

Man of Steel will fly into theaters June 14th.

I liked that actually! Still say Brainiac should have been the main baddie for MoS but this is making me psyched again :)

Even what little if anything you can see of that heavily pixelated Zod is still cooler looking than Superman's ridiculous outfit.

This also came with a secret message revealing that a new 3+ Minute trailer will be revealed in the next couple of days, right?

And for that other guy,absolutely not.Man of Steel will not be as successful as you think,you're getting FAR too hyped for it and think that it will be that popular,it will not be.

Sure, I mean, it's not like Superman is one of the biggest icons on Earth and probably the most well-known superhero out there. There's no way this movie is going to be big, right?

Man, if only they used a popular character like Iron Man. Remember how big Iron Man was back then? He had like 4 movies, and lots of different merchandising such as t-shirts, toys, different animated series, lots of video games (most of his games suck, though) and much more. I wasn't surprised at all at how good his movie turned out to be, you know, since Iron Man was such a popular character (I'd even call him Marvel's classic flagship character).

Superman, on the other hand? Pfft, no one has heard about that guy. There's no way this movie will work.

Just what I was saying, who the heck is this "Superman" it's not like kids from countries that I didn't even know existed know and love this "Superman". It's not like this Superman ushered in entire industry of Superheroes and had the very first Superhero movie that made people believe that superhero movies could work and it's not like Superman the movie inspired great writers like Mark Waid and Mark Millar, right.

You all should stop reading such hateful comments towards one another. If you hate the movie that much why did you take the time to watch it? Like come on stop arguing and commenting such negative and hateful comments towards the movie and each other. But other then that I am very excited for this movie ^.^

Agreed!

Is it supposed to be glitchy or am I just watching a messed up version of it?

I think it's supposed to look that way.

I really hope this is successful. The fans deserve a Superman movie to put beside Nolan's Batman trilogy. Competition is good for everything, including movies, so if MoS joins Nolan's Batman, I can only imagine how much Marvel will feel like they have to step up their own movies.

I looooooove this! Screw you haters and naysayers! I really like the Marvel movies, but this will (like the Dark Knight trilogy) show that you can do more with superheroes than just do a good superhero film. You can do a great film, period. Say what you want... as much as I liked the Marvel stuff, not one of their movies was as great, thoughtprovoking and mature as DCs best (Watchmen, Dark Knight Trilogy, V for Vendetta and I bet Man Of Steel). I take serious and full of real emotions any day instead of Downey giving us (albeit great) one liners.

Not much of a DC or Superman fan.. But I will see this movie in hopes it does well ! Getting some competition for Marvel so they can take their movies up a notch (even though they're already good)

Lame. The whole static and terrorist feel to it is stupid. But Zod requesting Supes to surrender or the Earth is doomed is kind of cool.

Please I hope this movie isn't all 'artsy indie' BS.. The first trailer definitely gave off that vibe.

cool idea awful execution. his tone and the voice itself is too "soft", not zod at all. it wasnt menacing at all. you are demanding a nation to give someone up but you talk like you ordering a milkshake. doesnt work

agreed.

Generals don't introduce themselves in the fashion of "My name is (First Name) General, (Last Name) Zod" what is that? You say "I am General Zod!" or "I am Zod, General of the Blah blah blah." . . . This feels like an after thought not something well planned to heighten the experience.

This is the film I'm the most excited to see. No doubt Iron Man 3 will be good but it's been promoted so much that I'm not as excited as I was last year. Mystery= Curiosity = Excitement

man that was lame. it screams: 'i want to be like heath ledger's cool joker video in the dark knight. please think of me as cool.' man of steel is trying too hard. i'm edgy, i'm dark, i'm using promotional material that 8 year old would laugh his a$$ off at. just be a good superman movie.

@teamunitednerds: I love your thinking, but he does say, "my name is General Zod". I wouldn't be surprised if they do tease the idea of other intergalactic villains, and Brainiac seems to be the next natural step in the franchise.
