Yahoo Movies revealed the following story:

“I spent an hour and a half driving down here from Ojai, and the first thing I wanted to do when I got out was take a leak,” Stamp told the audience at the LA Landmark Theatre.

“I go into the men’s bathroom and there’s a whole load of guys – obviously, ‘Man Of Steel’ had just turned out. So I take a pee, and I start washing my hands, and there’s about 10 or 12 guys there, and they’re talking about ‘Man Of Steel’.

“One says, ‘Well, I don’t know. If they’d have, like, peeled the buildings off the screen I wouldn’t have been surprised, you know?’ Another says, ‘It was all so loud.’ Then the guy down at the other end, who was only a little guy, said, ‘Yeah, yeah!’ And he said ‘It really wasn’t as good as the first one, was it?’”

“I just couldn’t resist,” laughed Stamp, “I said, ‘You’re a very discerning man.’ And as soon as they heard the voice they said, [screaming] ‘Oh my God! It’s General Zod!’”

As mentioned above, the actor himself has been extremely outspoken and very critical of the reboot. stating that:

“They’ve become unemotional, and so I was sad. I thought it would be diluted, in other words.” 

But you cant deny that the story of he random interruption of some fans discussion of the film is pretty amazing.
