The second disc for Man of Steel is where the real meat of the additional content is located. In addition, there is a featurette for The Hobbit about the various New Zealand locations that have been transformed into Middle-earth – it’s kind of baffling why it’s included. Also included on the first disc is the 75th anniversary short, directed by Snyder which you can watch by clicking here. One more shorter featurette revolves around Dylan Sprayberry (young Clark Kent) interviewing the visual effects supervisor about some of the designs and the more complex visual shots, again kind of filler but it still holds some interesting answers about the making of the film. It’s cool to see the things these actors did to get their bodies into “superhuman shape,” but at a point it feels like a filler feature in lieu of more interesting behind-the-scenes content. Titled “All Out Action,” the featurette goes into the workout routines for stars Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon and Antje Traue, in addition to some peeks at the stunt work for the film. The next big featurette on the first disc, while interesting, really has no need to be nearly half an hour long.
