When the first full-length trailer for Warner Bros.’ upcoming Superman reboot Man of Steel hit the Internet a while back, one of the images that most fans commented upon was that of Henry Cavill’s Clark Kent moving through what appeared to be the hull of a ship with its boiler on fire.The image was notable not only because Cavill was bearing enough skin to make the image a perfect dorm-room poster for college girls, but because while doing it, he was on fire.The image of Superman with his body on fire and just kind of walking through it really resonated with fans, especially those who had complained that 2005’s Superman Returns hadn’t really offered the Man of Steel much in the way of a serious physical challenge and that there was little in the way of evidence that Superman was really all that “super” in the movie. It became an instant fan favorite and was one of the most frequently referred-to images in the trailer.
