A new web app from Warner Bros. for the upcoming Man of Steel movie lets users become part of Superman's world -- turning fans of the superhero into children of planet Krypton.
The Glyph Creator app, which Warner Bros. exclusively shared with Mashable before Thursday's launch, builds a shield based on the user's answers to a series of questions.
The 20 possible shield designs, with several color options, each represent an ancestral house. The app also spits out a user's first name in Kryptonian. Together, the shield and name represent a user's overall Krptonian identity. Here are my results:
The app then encourages people to plop the shield and name on a photo of themselves, as I did to the motorcycle I'm sitting on in the main photo above. The creations can shared via the app on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest. Users also can download their creations, email them and submit them to the app's gallery.
The app took several months to create and will likely drum up more online buzz for Man of Steel, which will arrive in theaters on June 14.
HBO launched a similar web app ahead of season 3 premiere of Game of Thrones. HBO's Join The Realm app let people create their own family arms and share it across social media. In a month, the app attracted 1 million visitors from 200 countries.
