Zack Snyder's reboot of the Superman franchise Man of Steel reigned at the Australian box-office last weekend, raking in $8.8 million plus about $600,000 in previews.
When Zack Snyder's kids didn't know what Krypton was, the director knew his feature Man of Steel would have to start the Superman story from scratch.
A child, sent to Earth from a dying planet, is adopted by a couple in rural Kansas. Posing as a journalist, he uses his extraordinary powers to protect his new home from an insidious evil.
