Just watched the comic con trailer again. Even as a blurry mess it still holds up better than the new trailer :\
Well let's hope this movie actually provides a build up for a good Superman franchise unlike Returns.
EDIT:
Smallville's Jonathan Kent was a shining beacon of goodness (character aswell as acting-wise). No other good guy had his charisma in the show.

If they did, you would complain they show too much.

It seemed fine. I'm not really feeling the hype as much as a lot of others here seem to. I'm fine with dramatic films, but I just hope it's not just "Desaturated colors and light whispering: The Movie"

I really hope they release that CC trailer. It's ridiculous that they haven't yet. BB/TDK/TDKR had such amazing trailers every time.

I'm surprised at the number of people commenting on the "tone" and visuals. Did none of you see the teaser a few months back?

Regardless of my opinion of Snyder, I'm really thrilled to be getting Man of Steel along with Star Trek Into Darkness almost back to back. Gonna be an alright summer I think.

This, the Singer hate train will roll on though while revisionists will forget the hate they through at returns for making Superman 'emo'.
As for people wanting action without an attempt at character depth you've got that with Avengers which was incredibly boring because nothing mattered. I still have no faith in this movie because a hack is writing it but at least it'll look nice and will have more action than Returns.
Also the comic con version of this trailer was way better, especially the music.
Well all the music in the trailers so far (besides the last minute?) are placeholder so far. But if they go for that kind of tone, I won't mind. Zimmer shouldn't set out to match the Williams' score because he just can't. I don't think he will anyways because he's pretty damn lazy these days, but hopefully he is a bit inspired for this film. Don't need another one of his booming soundtracks; more Thin Red Line, less Inception/TDK plz.

Although I'd rather they have released the comic con trailer in HD, was much better.

It's certainly not the Pa Kent from the comic books. Having said that, they're setting him up to be an overly concerned parent, and I don't think any parent in the world would tell their kid that it's alright to risk their own life to save someone else.
Superman Returns had a whole host of problems, but nostalgia for the old films was a big one. Let it die. That nostalgia has been holding back Superman for a long damn time.

I couldn't take much of that show. I think I've watched maybe 4-6 episodes of it's entire run based upon recommendations, always was terribly disappointed.
I recall some silly episode where he had to choose between the death of his father and some girl.
I thought it had some really cool shots - the bus falling track p.o.v shot, the gravity on the rocks before te flight (first time supermans flying seems to feel like a real sense of weight), some cool "lens flare" money shots.
Zack snyder has a great eye for imagery. Also the muted colors suit my taste better. I always find superman the most boring and cartoony of a character so a batman begins like origin story seems interesting.
My fav thing about nolan bat films was the first half origin story. I cant wait to see what they do with the most boring hero.
Also om liking the pattern herr. Introduce zod, then bring in the arch enemy in the sequel. I hope they set up lex luthor's presence properly then cast a good actor for movie 2

Better than him standing outside his ex's windows heartbroken.
No, I don't actually believe that the teaser that had GAF collectively creaming their pants was any good. You got me!

Yes, but not this trailer or what Synder has made throughout his career. 300 gets a bit of a pass because of the "This is Sparta" confrontation and Fassbender's role in that movie.

Those that are not interested, perhaps you should just stay away. Yeah?

Hopefully Zimmer gives this one an actual, real theme unlike Batman which felt like it had a couple of motifs instead of a full blown theme.
Yeah, I hope he goes the TRL route instead of Inception/Batman... it fits much better IMO. But I doubt it.
I agree the music in this trailer was not as good as in the CC trailer... someone make a cut please!

Very nice trailer.
I fall in the camp that prefers the new gritty version, especially now that we are done with Batman (at least for the time being).
For people who like it more lighthearted, there will always be the old movies and Smallville (lol). And perhaps the rumoured Justice League movie, too.
I have nothing against more cartoony takes on superheroes, as I really liked The Avengers. But it didn't stick with me as long as, say, the Dark Knight trilogy.
With Marvel's movies, there's enough goofiness for me, DC can stick to the dark stuff. Anyways, hope the new Supes is good!

He can only shave using his heat vision and a mirror. Hopefully this will go into greater detail in a 4 hour long directors cut that Snyder releases later. lol.
People were hungry for a new Bond film. A teaser with Craig saying, "Kept you waiting, huh?" would have made people cream their pants.

Agreed. After all a discussion is best when it's just people in agreement.

Now that's more like it.
Or, you know, it could just be a goddamned fine teaser. People absolutely loved the therapy scene voiceover's usage in it.
I thought that was one of the worst teasers in recent memory.
Everything about that teaser was perfect. Shame about the movie...
