'Man Of Steel' Needs Your Help…

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

In true Warner Bros style, the studio implemented a nifty interactive promotional campaign for Man Of Steel. Much like they did for The Dark Knight Rises, they are offering and exclusive reward for sharing the Man Of Steel countdown below. All the fans have to do, is share the countdown on their Facebooks and Twitters. Warner Bros. is promising some sort of gift for the appreciation.

What is the gift? No one knows yet! Maybe it’s a poster, a set photo, or better yet, a clip from the movie. I’m getting giddy just thinking about it. So, its time for you to do your part, and get sharing, so we can see what Warner Bros. is giving us for Christmas.

Man of Steel director Zack Snyder, who also directed 300 and Watchmen, teamed up with writer David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan to develop the story. The movie will be performed by a power house cast that includes Amy Adams(Lois Lane), Laurence Fishburne(Perry White), Russell Crowe(Jor-El), Kevin Costner(Jonathan Kent), Diane Lane(Martha Kent), Michael Shannon(General Zod) and Christopher Meloni(Colonel Hardy).

Man Of Steel hits theaters June 14, 2013.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
