Man Of Steel (Teaser Trailer)

[Green Lantern]

What I would like to see is how indepth Nolan will go in being different in bring Superman to the big screen. Everyone loved the darkness of Batman and what he did with that trilogy.. What can he do with the man of steel...

I'm mainly interested in just how much of Christopher Nolan's voice will be in this movie. He does have a producer credit and is involved in the story but I think it should be kept in mind that the actual director of the film is Zack Snyder, the guy who made 300 and Watchmen. Now, I'm actually a fan of Snyder's too (I even like parts of Sucker Punch) but he does have a completely different style than Nolan.

That was my understanding as well. Like the upcoming RZA movie that's a "Quentin Tarantino Production"

haha. I just clicked on this thread, and was wondering why everyone was talking about this like it's a Nolan joint. He'll have some imput, but come on!

I am a huge Smallville fan. I loved the teenage years of Superman and what it must of been like to grow up being superman. I do not think this has been truly done in a movie

Agreed. I didn't watch a ton in the later years, but I loved the first few seasons. There was more possibility for human error in Superman in the television series.

The thing that's hard with Superman is that he is supposed to be so good at heart. He's basically incapable of being "bad", and that's boring.

But Henry Cavill is gorgeous and I love him, so I'll be there opening night.

As a straight married male, I will still second this comment.

See, this is the thing about Superman. We love Superman, but we don't know what to do with him.

Superman is the original superhero. He initiated the entire superhero genre. He is an American icon the likes of which no other superhero can compare.

But for all our fascination with Superman, it is beyond difficult to make a good movie story with him. It's two and a half hours of deus ex machina. You know at some point that Superman will simply swoop in and save the day; the only suspense that's left is how he'll do it, and when he'll do it (and hopefully, it won't be laughably bad when he does). Lois falling from a helicopter? Don't worry-- Superman will fly and catch her. Now she is in a crashing plane? Well, Superman will come in and stop the plane. Oh no! Now she's in a sinking ship! And it's sinking, sinking, sinking . . . oh, good, there's Superman, picking the boat up out of the ocean. Hmm, she's dead now, how's Superman going to beat THAT? Oh, that's right-- by flying backwards so fast that he reverses time. You just can't make a good movie out of a superhero with a reset button.

In some ways, Superman is a relic of modernism, an era where we believed in infallability, good always triumphing over evil, and the like. The postmodern world doesn't know what to do with Superman. A Superman movie provides the visceral thrill of seeing the big guy on the screen, for a bit ("You'll believe a man can fly!"), and a few clever ways of showing how powerful he is (stopping the bullet with his eye was an especially nice touch), but that only lasts so long. It's no surprise that the best-selling Superman comic book is the one that openly explores his mortality: "The Death of Superman," featuring Doomsday (and which, *spoiler alert*, ends with us finding out that Superman doesn't die after all). We don't believe in unlimited greatness anymore.

Superman himself is probably not nearly as interesting, cinematographically speaking, as the reaction which he provokes in other people. Hence, you get stuff like Waiting for Superman, a documentary which has almost nothing to do with Superman, except to show the extent that we wish there really was a Superman out there, ready and able to fly in and rescue us.

One of the reasons I really enjoyed Bryan Singer's Superman Returns, and one of the reasons almost nobody else seems to have liked it, is the way that it captured both the nostalgia of Superman and the question of what place Superman has in today's world. The scene where he flies with Lois in particular is masterfully done. It evokes memories of the original, with Christopher Reeves, and reveals the majesty that is Superman, but it also betrays the tension between Superman and the postmodern era. The world has moved on, Lois insists. It doesn't need a savior anymore. Yet there is an undeniable part of humanity that still cries out for one.

Which is why we still make Superman movies. Not because we know how, but because we want them.

I was about to point out my boredom with Superman but it wouldn't have been this insightful.

I will point out that Christopher Nolan is not directing this movie; Zack Snyder is. Nolan lost my confidence after Batman3 anyway, and from what I've seen, Snyder's movies are kinda terrible.

A new trailer was released yesterday. It showcases a lot more action than the prior trailers.

[BigPiney]

I agree. Hollywood needs a 20-year hiatus on all Superhero movies.

I agree. They do nothing for me.

I watched the Avengers and the whole time I was thinking how stupid it was. And that was supposed to be a good one.

Another Superman movie. No thanks.

[LA Ute]

There can never be too many Superman movies. If they make a bad one, that means they just have to do better next time.

I get ridiculed by my family every time I tell them how stupid the whole Avengers thing was. Captain America, Thor, etc were all unwatchable to me. I don't get the fascination. The only super hero movies I've liked recently have been Spiderman. I kind of liked the Hulk.

It's pretty overdone.

[Blueintheface]

Bad or good I love me some superhero movies.
