[[wysiwyg_imageupload:4358:]]Greg Cox, the writer on The Dark Knight Rises movie novelization, will also be writing the Man of Steel: The Official Movie Novelization.
Cox included elements in his novel for The Dark Knight Rises that wasn’t included in Christopher Nolan’s movie, such as what may have happened to the Joker in the movie, so we might see something similar in the Superman adaptation.
The book is available for pre-order on Amazon and will be released in conjunction with the premiere of the movie on June 14, 2013.
