On a side note: Rumors are being bounced around that we may see more DC movies to introduce "The Justice League" much like the Avengers were done.. The Nolan Bro's involved in that.. We'll see but I think it would be fantastic as long as Nolan is invovled...

Superman movies bore me. He can't die so what's the point?

Umm.. Then what the hell is Kryptonite???

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

Nothing. Kryptonite is nothing. It is all make believe.

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.

Some green mineral that doesn't kill Superman?

He's been exposed to Kryptonite time and time again and it only weakens him, but never kills him. The only way a Superman movie will work is if the whole world was made of Kryptonite, but there's obviously not enough around to do that....maybe I just thought up the plot of this new movie??

I did love the scene in one of the old movies where Lois Lane died and Superman raced around the world fast enough to change it's rotation and turn back time. But then he wasn't fast enough to chase down two different missiles that were going in opposite directions.

I am interested to see who they get to play Lois Lane

Amy Adams.

This movie won't even be worth the $1 redbox rental

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 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 and am hoping to see this expanded by Nolan and see if he even goes a little dark. The inner conflict Superman has in becoming superman..

The small scenes in this trailer leads me to think this may be different and more of a journey of his younger years.. One can only hope..

I think if they went back to superman's original powers they could make it interesting.

Superman's original powers mainly consisted of superstrength, superspeed, supersenses, and invulnerability. As described in Action Comics #1 (June 1938): "When maturity was reached, he discovered he could easily: Leap 1/8th of a mile [201 meters]; hurdle a twenty-story building...raise tremendous weights...run faster than a express train... and that nothing less than a bursting shell could penetrate his skin!"

Make him a superhuman but not a god. Thus he could be beaten.

That already sounds more interesting. It also makes sense of the phrase "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound."

Is there any word on whether Nolan is going to incorporate the Phantom Zone into this new iteration of Superman?
