Superman: Man Of Steel (2013)

[Professor Bear]

I did not say "silly", I said awful.

It looks no worse nor sillier than either Routh's or Reeve's becaped body-socks.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I'm just looking forward to seeing some super action all through the film!

Everything about Superman on film is either silly or awful; the bits which aren't awful are the silliest, and the bits that aren't silly are mostly awful. Any Superman film which tries not to be silly will probably be awful.

I disagree - those were a design already ingrained in popular culture and justified because everybody knew what Superman was "supposed" to look like from movie serials, cartoons, comics, lunchboxes and tv shows.  By contrast the new costume makes big visual changes and flaunts them, and thus doesn't have the same defence.  I mean, seriously: "no outside underpants, THAT WOULD BE SILLY, give him space bracelets instead, and have his costume be knitted from plastic wool.  Oh, and make it darker, too, because when you think Superman, you should be thinking of a dark avenger of the night.""

This logic. I'm all over it.

Now that is the trailer!

Pretty intriguing.  Seems like there's an awful lot in there for one movie, but that may be a good thing.  Whether the 'finding your place' theme is a result of the trailer edit, or the core of the film, remains to be seen, but I do like it.

[Richmond Clements]

That's not bad looking at all...

[Fisticuffs]

Not a fan of Supes, but that looked awesome. Goosebump worthy stuff. Colour me intrigued.

[dweezil2]

It's got the faint whiff of an extended aftershave ad, but I'll give it a chance.

[Charlie boy]

I wonder if Nolan will convince Snyder to take it easy on the slow-motion shots accompanied by loud electric guitar soundtrack he enjoys so much tho.

[JamesC]

Looks like it could be good. Needs some John Williams though.

[JOE SOAP]

I have little interest but the casting is fantastic and at least it looks like it has a story this time, even if Kent is still shoe-gazing.


Good to see ZOD wearing standard issue Justice Dept. neck-protection.





JUDGE ZOD, hmm...
