This is your first big superhero movie. Was it weird going from being in that odd-looking CGI suit to seeing the final product?

It's exhilarating. It's what Zack [Snyder] promised would happen, you know? Because I remember the first couple of days I was on set, I thought This is ridiculous. I look like an idiot. I don't look anything like General Zod. I'm a total failure. I went over to the screen for playback and it was ridiculous. All of us were wearing pajamas, basically. And there was this neon green set of stairs that was supposed to be our spaceship. So you see us all marching down these neon green stairs in our pajamas and I'm like, "This looks like a Monty Python skit." And he's like, "I know right now it looks pretty silly, but, two years from now, it's going to look like the most badass thing you've ever seen in your life." And he's right.

Do you worry about the diehard comic book fans? They can be vocal.

No. I mean, it is their thing. It's not my thing. I'm not in that club. So, I have a respect for it. To people, it's like a religious experience and I don't discount that. I understand it. We're very sheltered from all that on set. I mean, yeah, if people want to know if it was a high pressure job - it was very high pressure. And everybody felt a lot of anxiety about getting it right. But, Zack's strategy - which is very intelligent - is to keep everything very calm and fun and playful and not get tied up about it. Because if you get overly anxious about pleasing people, you can't make anything. You have to be relaxed and have a good time.

Based on the Geoff Johns/Gary Frank 2008 release "Superman: Brainiac," SUPERMAN: UNBOUND finds the Man of Steel aptly handling day-to-day crime while helping acclimate Supergirl to Earth's customs and managing Lois Lane's expectations for their relationship.

Brainiac has crossed the universe, collecting cities from interesting planets - including Supergirl's home city of Kandor - and now the all-knowing, ever-improving android has his sights fixed on Metropolis. Superman must summon all of his physical and intellectual resources to protect his city, the love of his life and his newly-arrived cousin.

Produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, SUPERMAN: UNBOUND film arrives May 7, 2013 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment as a Blu-ray^TM Combo Pack, DVD, On Demand and for Digital Download.

With so many Superhero characters across multiple comic-book universes, as well as in television and film, there is always great debate over the virtues of each. Everybody has their favourite. A few can be described as 'iconic'. But the term 'greatest' can be reserved for only one.

Originally conceived by Jerome "Jerry" Siegel and Joe Shuster as a telepathic, bald villain planning world domination, the initial incarnation of "The Superman" in 1933 was not popular. In 1934, the co-creators changed their vision to a version closer to the one now beloved by millions, but it was not until June 1938 that Superman appeared as the cover feature of Action Comics, published by National Allied Publications (eventually to become DC Comics). Over the next 75 years, Superman permeated social consciousness to become the most iconic Superhero of all.

But is he really the greatest? It all boils down to basic facts. Here are ten reasons why Superman is The Greatest Superhero Of All Time.
