    Superman Storyline & Synopsis Sounds Fake

    With any giant tentpole film like the new Superman flick is going to be, with every instance of news comes just as many examples of rumors. Some rumors turn out to be true, even a good many of the far-fetched ones.

    A site that I never heard of called Movienewz is reporting that they have been given not only some of the storyline, but a synopsis.

    Storyline:

    General Sam Lane, the father of Lois Lane, is a central figure in director Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot. This really is as Zack described in several interviews about the film, a “real world” Superman. I’m told that when Superman arrives on the scene; people don’t know what to think. He’s an alien from another planet. What are his real intentions? He’s not human and that scares a lot of people. Here’s a guy who can fly, see through walls, is bullet proof and can lift a tank. The military views him as a potential threat to national security. They find kryptonite, pieces of his home planet, and discover its radioactive elements can be harnessed as a near unlimited source of power, both literally and figuratively. It’s a brand new form of energy that is secretly developed by the government. The military, under the direction of General Sam Lane, uses kryptonite to power an experimental cyborg super solider named Metallo. He’s ultimately exploited as a weapon against Superman.

    Synopsis:

    In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone's imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question - Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as "Superman," not only to shine as the world's last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.

    The synopsis sounds made up, just Superman, with Ma & Pa Kent? No Lois/Amy Adams? Lex Luthor? Zod? Ursa? Sam Lane? Metallo?

    I do however think the plot could involve the military, just not sure on what level. I mean we heard previously that Alberta, Canada lost out as a shooting location because they didn't allow access to aircraft carriers and attack helicopters.
