Every great movie hero is only as good as his greatest villain, and now Superman (Henry Cavill) has his next major foe in the person of...Jesse Eisenberg?

From the moment Warner Bros. decided to announce its upcoming Batman/Superman crossover movie by having an actor quote lines from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, fans have been waiting to hear that the storyline would offer a direct adaptation of the graphic novel -- which peers far into a possible future for the titular heroes and finds Superman working as a government stooge while a bitter Batman comes out of retirement to give Krypton's favorite son a refresher course in truth, justice, and the American way.

Okay, so some of you are pretty upset about Ben Affleck being cast as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel. But how would you have felt if director Zack Snyder had cast Josh Brolin instead?

Man of Steel had a bit of a bumpy ride with critics, but it encountered far less resistance with audiences -- and the home video release, due November 12, sounds like it will be suitably super. Arriving in the requisite array of formats, including DVD, Blu-ray, and digital download, Man of Steel will also offer a variety of packages for different levels of Superman fans, from the standard combo pack to a limited Collector's Edition that comes packed in a metal "S" with a lucite stand.

After a few weeks off from summer film hysteria, it’s coming back this weekend with the advent of Christopher Nolan’s latest foray in to the DC Comics world—coming out today, alongside a comedy to temper this titanic venture, is Man of Steel.
