Goyer , and stars Henry Cavill , Amy Adams , Michael Shannon , Kevin Costner , Diane Lane , Laurence Fishburne , Antje Traue , Ayelet Zurer , Christopher Meloni , and Russell Crowe . Man of Steel is a reboot of the Superman film series that retells the character 's origin story . In the film , Clark Kent learns that he is a superpowered alien from the planet Krypton and assumes the role of mankind 's protector as Superman , but finds himself having to prevent General Zod from destroying humanity .   Development began in 2008 , when Warner Bros. took pitches from comic book writers , screenwriters and directors , opting to reboot the franchise . In 2009 , a court ruling resulted in Jerry Siegel 's family recapturing the rights to Superman 's origins and Siegel 's copyright . The decision stated that Warner Bros. did not owe the families additional royalties from previous films , but if they did not begin production on a Superman film by 2011 , then the Shuster and Siegel estates would be able to sue for lost revenue on an unproduced film . Producer Christopher Nolan pitched Goyer 's idea after story discussion on The Dark Knight Rises , and Snyder was hired as the film 's director in October 2010 . Principal photography began in August 2011 in West Chicago , Illinois , before moving to Vancouver and Plano , Illinois .

negative: Aquaman Aquaman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics . Created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger , the character debuted in More Fun Comics # 73 ( November 1941 ) . Initially a backup feature in DC 's anthology titles , Aquaman later starred in several volumes of a solo title . During the late 1950s and 1960s superhero-revival period known as the Silver Age , he was a founding member of the Justice League of America . In the 1990s Modern Age , Aquaman 's character became more serious than in most previous interpretations , with storylines depicting the weight of his role as king of Atlantis .   Aquaman has been adapted for screen many times , first appearing in animated form in the 1967 The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure and then in the related Super Friends program . Since then he has appeared in various animated productions , including prominent roles in the 2000s series Justice League Unlimited and Batman : The Brave and the Bold , as well as several DC Universe Animated Original Movies . Actor Alan Ritchson also portrayed the role in live action in the television show Smallville . Jason Momoa portrayed the character in the 2016 film Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice ( 2016 ) and will reprise his role in the DC Extended Universe , including a solo film in 2018 .   The character 's original 1960s animated appearances left a lasting impression , meaning Aquaman is widely recognised in popular culture . Jokes about his wholesome portrayal in Super Friends and perceived weaker powers and abilities have been staples of comedy programmes and stand-up routines , leading DC at several times to attempt to make the character edgier or more powerful in comic books . Modern comic book depictions have attempted to reconcile these various aspects of his public perception , casting Aquaman as serious and brooding , saddled with an ill reputation , and struggling to find a true role and purpose beyond his public side as a deposed king and a fallen hero .

During the flight , Shepard observed the Earth and tested the capsule 's attitude control system , turning the capsule around to face its blunt heat shield forward for atmospheric re-entry . He also tested the retrorockets which would return later missions from orbit , though the capsule did not have enough energy to remain in orbit . After re-entry , the capsule landed by parachute on the North Atlantic Ocean off the Bahamas . Shepard and the capsule were picked up by helicopter and brought to an aircraft carrier .   The mission was a technical success , though American pride in the accomplishment was dampened by the fact that just 3 weeks before , the Soviet Union had launched the first man in space , Yuri Gagarin , who completed one orbit on Vostok 1 .

negative: Head and neck cancer Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers that starts within the mouth , nose , throat , larynx , sinuses , or salivary glands . Symptoms may include a lump or sore that does not heal , a sore throat that does not go away , trouble swallowing , or a change in the voice . There may also be unusual bleeding , facial swelling , or trouble breathing .   About 80 % of head and neck cancer is due to the use of alcohol or tobacco . Other risk factors include betel quid , certain types of human papillomavirus , radiation exposure , certain workplace exposures , and Epstein-Barr virus . Head and neck cancers are most commonly of the squamous cell carcinoma type . The diagnosis is confirmed by tissue biopsy . The degree of spread may be determined by medical imaging and blood tests .   Prevention is by not using tobacco or alcohol . While screening in the general population does not appear to be useful , screening high risk groups by examination of the throat might be useful . Often head and neck cancer is curable if detected early ; however , outcomes are typically poor if detected late . Treatment may include a combination of surgery , radiation therapy , chemotherapy , and targeted therapy . Following treatment of one head and neck cancer people are at higher risk of a second cancer .   In 2015 head and neck cancers globally affected more than 5.5 million people ( mouth 2.4 million , throat 1.7 million , larynx 1.4 million ) and resulted in more than 379,000 deaths ( mouth 146,000 , throat 127,400 , larynx 105,900 ) . Together they are the seventh most frequent cancer and the ninth most frequent cause of death from cancer . In the United States about one percent of people are affected at some point in their life and males are affected twice as often as females . The usual age at diagnosis is between 55 and 65 years . The average 5 year survival following diagnosis in the developed world is 42 to 64 % .
