Why so serious? Because Batman was. Everybody's heads are too far up their you-know-whats to make a fun Superman like Richard Donner did. Or just fun movies in general.

But still...this looks okay.

This looks great, really digging the dark atmosphere.

Quoted from Electric Dreamer And is it just me, or are the filmmakers playing the Jesus card with Cavill? The beard. The poses. The exile. The resurrection as a superhero.

Thought same thing. Although I liked the trailer, Snyder is hit and miss for me.  Still not convinced yet - but will wait for the next trailer.

Kinda cool. Not really into Snyder's style, but I like Nolan's.

Along Brett's sentiments, the tone doesn't really feel like Superman to me. Seems to be stepping into a territory Batman is generally more suited for.

I liked Brandon Routh's Superman, but felt Singer made a misstep by trying to essentially recreate Chris Reeve. I think distancing the new Superman from the Reeve films is definitely the right direction. I just hope they found the right tone.

Loved the new trailer. No one's ever made a Superman movie the right way as far as I'm concerned. They never did him the way I thought he should be done, but it looks like Snyder/Nolan/Goyer have nailed it.

Pretty epic. I wish we could get a good look at a Lois Lane scene, though. I want to see Amy Adams in action, but I guess there'll be plenty of time for that.

Bring on June 2013.

Growing up, reading Superman comics as a kid, I never found the DC comic to be dark or overwrought with deep analytical thinking.  He just picked up trains and flew with a cape and skin tight suit and fooled people into thinking that he and Clark Kent were two totally separate people.  But I was also a kid and must have missed the deeper meaning (KRYTONITE WAS AN PREDICTOR OF GLOBAL WARNING PEOPLE, RIGHT?)...

But really, why another reboot?  I could understand a continuation of the story, like the Dark Knight trilogy, but why keep retelling the same story?  I know, because it sells tickets.  I don't even know why I asked.

Anyone else as fired up as I am with this new trailer? Love the aspect Nolan and Goyer used that the "S" is simply a symbol of hope.

Listen to that sound track as well. Hans Zimmer is rocking it again. That man is sickly brilliant.

I'll be in line opening day, they got their hooks in me...

I'm excited about it. Love the music!

It's kinda like cheating on a wife by saying this... but even though I'm working on a Marvel film now (due out in August 2014), I just prefer the way DC are putting their stuff together. Some call it too dark or whatever, but I call the other stuff too light.

This is looking very, very promising.

Quoted from Andrew It's kinda like cheating on a wife by saying this... but even though I'm working on a Marvel film now (due out in August 2014)

Others would call it being a big show-off  

But I am with you on this.

I don't know if anybody watches the animated films that are pretty much only on Netflix as far as I know -- I watch them sometimes with the kid -- but DC has it all over Marvel in that area, too.

They have done some pretty terrific stuff with Batman, by animation standards, anyway.

And this looks good, too.

Haha, touche!

Marvel doing good stuff, too, but the film I'm on now... I think it's going to surprise people with how good it can be.

As it stands, however, Iron Man obviously no match for Superman! But I better keep my mouth shut before I'm fired ;P

I like the route DC has taken. A bit more adult subject matter for an aging fan base who want more realism. At the same time, these are the icons I grew up with. I would hate to see any of my fave superheroes become so dark and gritty that today's kids can't identify with them. Almost feels like they're being robbed. And last I checked, most of them represent the best of humanity.

Must be a difficult balance to please your adult crowd and still give the kids something to cheer about. I think Marvel is actually doing a better job in this aspect.

Quoted from jwent6688 .I'll be in line opening day, they got their hooks in me...

Yep. I'll be there too but I was also there for Superman Returns in '06 and I had high hopes for that one as well. In saying that, this version does look great and I love the darker undertone not to mention Michael Shannon as Zod.

Hoping for good things…

We have Mr superman doing our own red carpet premiere in my local cinema, just happens to be a local boy.

Could be worth popping down the road for!

Although I fear the wrath of Simon (Not Zod) for this. I decided to upload the new, and I think best trailer so far for all you Superman fans to check out. It’s got more Zod, action and an awesome soundtrack.
