If you’re trying to figure out the plot of director Zack Snyder’s “Superman” reboot, don’t look at the Man of Steel’s previous cinematic endeavors for any clues. Likewise, there are no breadcrumbs to follow in the character’s considerable comic book run. In fact, there’s really no where to look except for the minds of those who have worked on the script.

According to an interview with French site FilmsActu.com (via Bleeding Cool), Snyder’s “Superman” won’t take any cues from previous films or comic books. Instead, the DC Comics icon will return to his early days as a crimefighter in a wholly original story.

Columbia Pictures has just released the new poster below. Will it have some sort of glowing hologram effect going on when we actually see it in theaters? We can’t quite tell, but check it out for yourself below.

The Green Hornet opens Jan. 14, 2011.
