Let's forget returns and talk about this shit. Looks like we are finally going to see Superman fucking fight.

Yeah, no. Routh is taller, but has nothing on Cavill when it comes to muscle mass. Cavill got incredibly built for this role, unlike Routh. And i like routh as superman.

I'm sure Routh said he weighed 230 pounds in a Men Health issue around the time Returns came out.
 
Are you guys forgetting Clark looks like his in grade school when Pa Kent told him that? He's not telling Superman to save people... he's telling his alien son whom he loves very much.

The point of that is he loves Clark just as much as he'd love a son that was biologically related to him. He would risk anything to protect him... and at that age, especially given who he is and what he can do, he needs to be protected.
 
It's going to be the Amazing Spider-man of 2013.

I still can't get over how many people are getting into this from the trailers. Zack Snyder has never made a great movie.

I've always hated Superman, thought the idea was fucking stupid, and that the hero was too powerful.

This trailer makes me so effin interested. I thought it would be impossible to make a non-cheesy modern Superman.

This is why Superman is and always will be my favorite. And no, not in a 'who would win in a fight' kinda way.

I just adore the concept of someone growing up as a man, but with these incredible, life and world altering abilities, and what he can and/or chooses to do with them. Are these abilities (all fantastically superficial, flying, super strength, etc.) enough to make someone a super man, or is there something else entirely that does that?

SO AWESOME.

At the expense of a busload of kid's lives?

Nobody should play God. Or screw with the natural order of things.

So Clark should have let himself drown with the rest of the kids. That makes sense.

Horribad writing
 
Caville looks so much better than Routh. Cape billowing in wind, shot of him closing his eyes in the sun. More iconic than returns already based on the trailer
 
this one is looking good. In Nolan we trust, or what? I sure wish he wanted to helm each individual superhero movie related to justice league, but not the actual justice league movie.

sometimes blockbuster action movies just need to be blockbuster action movies. and justice league, much like the avengers, basically just needs to be a visual feast.

i don't need too much plot and story getting in the way of my comic book nerd porn. some but not too much.
 
Looks aiight. Kinda wack music though. The second half is generic trailer music the first half is generic Gladiator stuff. I hope neither of this is indicative of Zimmer's ost.

Don't really like the color tone though, everything looks so...grey.
 
It would make for an awesome movie if Costner really as much of a dick as people want him to be. Maybe he's the real villain and Zod is just Supes bro following in Big Daddy Kent's footsteps! Kill All Humans, they deserve nothing!!

And if he gets caught, what will happen? He'll be taken away, studied on like a lab rat, media attention on him everywhere... Pa Kent knows he's not ready for that and its his job to protect him because Clark is his son, first and foremost.
 
Let's all just take a step back here and realise that that is probably one of the more crucial moments in the film and that context will most likely be playing a huge part in all of it.
 
Based off the way they've teased the movie so far, I'm with duckroll. The tone just seems too intent on the moral dilemma of the character. Too weighted towards Serious Business and not enough towards his eternal optimism. We'll see.

Don't worry, Lex Luthor definitely won't:P

And on that note, I think you guys are being really unfair to Lex's character. I agree that so far, he's been portrayed pretty poorly in film but that doesn't mean he is a bad character. They need to make him a genius scientist and businessman...

I hope he's presence in felt in this film (LexCorp in the skyline?) and that he plays a significant role in the next. Instead of some goofy comic book villain, he should be a very respectable public figure who insists that Superman cannot be trusted (Project Cadmus?)

And it'd be a great way to introduce Brainiac and maybe even a fused Luthor and Brainiac.

I honestly have no problem with Luthor himself. I'm just SICK of him being the focus of every damn Superman film.

I usually do a test with people I know that aren't comic fans. I ask them to name four Batman villains. It's pretty easy for most. Then four Spider-man villains. That's usually tougher, but many still get it. Then four Superman villains. I'm always surprised at how few people can identify members of Superman's rogue gallery. It's not because he has no interesting villains. Most people's knowledge of Superman is deeply tied to the Reeves films, and Luthor was the most consistent and recognizable antagonist in them. To have Luthor be the main villain again in Returns only further solidified the idea that Superman only has two adversaries: Lex Luthor and kryptonite. It makes the character seem one note and uninteresting.

Showing more of the Superman rogue gallery will show that Superman can face threats larger than a rich guy with green rocks, which will instantly make the character and movies more interesting.

Yes. If not for him, there are hypothetical stories like Flashpoint Superman. That series was heartbreaking. :(

Pa Kent was just positing that perhaps he shouldn't mess with "God's plans" and let the natural course of the world happen as it would. That maybe his power is like playing God.


Any other interpretation is way off base.

This is not a hard concept. But apparently it's going over heads here.
 
The reason people are freaking out at 'maybe' is because Clark is originally supposed to get his morals from his human parents, and they're sort of incorruptible honest friendly working class folk.

By having Pa Kent be an immoral and/or ambiguous character then Clark either gets his morals from A. jor-el or B. figures them out on his own while growing up in school, adventuring around the world and communicating with real people (this would be the best option since it's how real life works).

Would be amazing if Snyder made Clark an atheist or at least secular humanist and believes in humanity rather than being a deity-type leader figure everyone bows down to.

Ma Kent divorces Pa. And then he goes off and raises another superboy...who we later find out is Zod. Who hates humans because his dad is a dick.

Except he's coming at from a moral place. There is no immoral Pa Kent to be seen here.
 
I get the STRONG sensation that this will restore the oft beleagured and butt-of-jokes Superman back to the top of the superhero pecking food chain.

I get that some people want different things, by why do people want carbon copy remakes of Superman movies we already have?
 
Watchmen was great. Wasn't thrilled that the ending was changed, but it does make sense for the sake of the casual movie audience.

300 was good.

Never seen Sucker Punch, really have no desire to.
