I just remembered we have no idea who's even doing the score for the movie, since Hanz Zimmer denied he was involved at all. Makes me wonder if WB has closed a deal with anyone yet.

The logo makes me think of Mortal Kombat

Superman should add the MK Dragon to his S-Shield
 
Considering both Snyder and Nolan have a track record of excellent teaser posters (or posters in general) Im calling fake. That is laughable bad.
 
Turns out the original Superman wasn't a nice guy. He was grabbing criminals and chucking them around without regard to the consequences. Hopefully the more edgy Superman is the one that returns.
 
Batman has had several iconic themes. Even the StAS theme was great, while admittedly not as iconic as Williams score. It will be fine, and it needed to be changed to cement this as a new start.

Time for you to re-adjust your expectations. Because Williams' score will not be a part of this re-imagining. And rightly so.

I second this.

This movie has nothing to do with the older Superman movies. If you want your modern Superman with the Williams' theme, go watch Superman Returns.

Look at it this way. With a new theme, director, cast, and direction they are attempting to revive Superman. If its successful like Batman has become, then you can have Superman be relevant once again.
 
This movie has everything needed to be great. Nolan and Goyer story, great cast, and good budget. Snyder better do this right, if it doesn't work out he will get the most criticism.

The only thing that irks me is that they were still doing rewrites while in the middle of shooting. I'm still hyped, though.
 
The Nolan name attached to this film has certain drawbacks because a lot of us nerdy types are going to go into this expecting a little bit more than a superhero film. Like we are at the start of some epic trilogy. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check. If it does end up being another Superman failure I wonder what happens to the franchise?

If anything, having Nolan's name attached should leave people pleasantly surprised with how good the action in the film is going to be.

Meh I don't think many left the Nolan Batman films being all that disappointed in the action sequences. Besides I've never been very excited by any sort of live action fight or rescue scenes in superhero films. I guess Snyder does have a chance to surprise me and a few others in that way. I'd like to see a Superman vs Zod fight be sort of like a live action version of the Avatar cartoon finale, with them jumping around and being acrobatic. Though I suppose flying kind of destroys the need for acrobatics. That's one thing I've never liked about Superman, he flies in, punches something, grabs something etc. I want to see some flashy and clever stuff.

Having Superman be this ultra powerful being, you would think that writers could come up with some amazing action sequences that only Superman can do. Instead he's just lifting a giant island.
 
I doubt we'll get a trailer before TDKR now anyways, with this movie slipping into mid-2013.
 
In a strategic move in the copyright battle between Warner Bros and the heirs to Superman’s creators, the studio has filed an appeal to reverse earlier rulings in the case and put everything out in open court. “This long-running dispute should be brought to an end,” Warner Bros wrote in a dense 117-page appeal (read it here) filed Friday with the 9th Circuit Court. In typical Hollywood legalities, the move actually resolves nothing — expect to see a response from the heirs and then another back from Warner Bros, and all off it to end up one way or another in the Appellate Court sometime in the late summer or early fall.

Through the courts, the estate of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel recaptured half of the original Superman rights in 2008, with the estate of co-creator Joe Shuster to do the same in 2013. Warner Bros, which owns longtime Superman publisher DC Comics, disagrees with those decisions. “This case is about the ownership of copyright in the earliest comics that introduced elements of the iconic Superman character and story,” the appeal from Warners lawyer Daniel Petrocelli states. “The case presents an unusually broad array of doctrinal, factual, and procedural issues. But much of the case reduces to a familiar proposition: a deal is a deal.”

Warners contends that Laura Siegel Larson, the heir to the Siegel estate, “reneged” on a copyright deal with DC that “guaranteed the family many millions of dollars in cash, royalties, and other compensation.” In its call to have the issue decided by trial, the studio says “the family asserted there was no deal without a long form and the district court agreed, casting aside established California contract law principles — principles essential to the entertainment industry, where many business deals are never formalized.” The latest legal move by Warner Bros follows a win last year in the matter, when Judge Otis Wright tossed out a First Amendment suit by Marc Toberoff, a rights lawyer for the heirs.

None of this will have any immediate effect on the upcoming Zack Snyder-directed Superman reboot Man Of Steel, scheduled to be released June 14, 2013, or any potential sequels from that property.

Reminds me. I thought it was funny at the end of the credits for 21 Jump Street, there was a message along the lines of "Superman II is still owned by Warner Bros."
