When Blake Lively has to tell you to stop being a little chicken shit, you lose all claims to having courage.

well when you get a by the numbers hack writer that doesn't know the source material then yeah, you get crap.

Honestly I don't give that much of a crap about Aquaman except for the most recent run but I hope they make a movie just for Black Manta on the big screen

read Peter David's run. it was excellent.

He is actually one of the most inarticulate individuals I have ever heard. Or maybe he's just really bad with interviews. But the guy has a really tough time expressing himself in spoken language.

but he expresses himself in visual language very well.
 
That begs the question of what they're going to do for the sequel. Or is every villain going to come down to tests of physical strength? Because that's essentially what I know of Darkseid and Doomsday. Yet we're getting that with Zod.

Braniac would be an interesting choice, you can go in a lot of directions with him. Though we all know the sequel will basically be Justice League, meaning most likely Darkseid. Darkseid can be a great movie villain. Have you seen the Superman TAS episode Apokolips Now? That would make for a great film.

That's the path they're on. If Man of Steel does well (and it appears people really would like it to do well, which is half the battle) then Justice League is full speed ahead.

people have mentioned they'd rather a World's Finest movie before it got to Justice League, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Which reminds me - Andrew Kevin Walker (Seven) wrote a script for a World's Finest movie in the 90s, didn't he? That was how they were going to relaunch both characters at one point. Batman vs. Superman.

I think Justice League will essentially be all about Batman and Superman. They will have Wonder Woman because she is also iconic and Orion can be the fourth member because they are opposing Darkseid.
 
Nick Glennie Smith who did the score for We Were Soldiers did a "tribute" to that song.

It starts at 2:45, at least I like to think of it as a tribute.

It's pretty fucking great.

thanks for this. i love the track that plays the night before they depart for vietnam. the score is fantastic. very good scene as well. i actually quite liked a lot about We Were Soldiers. It was better than Black Hawk Down. it had actual characters and a story to tell.

Unfortunately, you're right. I see fucking all these movies though, regardless of how terrible they end up being. I saw Sucker Punch and Dark Shadows in theatres for fucks sakes!

I haven't seen Dark Shadows. But i feel sorry that you had to pay, to see Sucker Punch. I saw it at a friend's house and Jesus Christ!
 
I also saw Sucker Punch in theaters. God. That was one of the worst fucking movies I have ever seen. That being said, I do believe that Zack Snyder is a good director; he's just a terrible writer. Thankfully, he did not write Man of Steel.

On topic, I have never been a fan of Superman. I always thought he was a lame super hero; there wasn't anything he couldn't do ! How can you empathize with such a character ? He's not even human. Which is why I was enthralled with this here trailer. It really looks as if Warner is pulling a Batman Begins; Superman looks far more humanized than anything I've seen before. Not only that, but he'll actually have some adversaries this time around. Something posing a challenge to him. Something other than Kryptonite. He will finally be fighting bad dudes in Dragon Ball Z-style battles, instead of preventing planes from falling and boats from sinking.

I am looking forward to this movie. If it's anything like the Star Trek reboot, it might convert me. :)

well your first problem is making assumptions about a character you haven't read about. smh. I just don't understand why this is such a constant problem.
I HATE SUPERMAN! LAAAME!"
well have you read any of his 75+ years of stories?
NO.

I know how you feel. I still have nightmares about how bad the movie was. terrible doesn't begin to cover the monstrosity that was playing in the cinema.

not even suggestive dancing from that girl from the new carrie was enough to even remotely redeem this movie. my god, all copies should be destroyed lest anyone suffer through this wretched creation.

Pretty typical nonComicGAF, unfortunately. And not just about Supes, but any character. I know I wouldn't come to the table with a preconception (especially such a strong opinion) of any art form, but that's me.

You can add the DCAU. Bruce Timm and Co have also helped in humanizing Superman like in the comics.

The biggest plus for that show was putting the fear in Superman's eyes that he could be killed. And also putting a limit on his power.

EDIT: Trailer views are now at 17 million.

that's one of many interpretations of Superman. and frankly, the grunting was getting way too much. it's one thing to depower him like John Byrne did, it's another to nerf him.
 
I find the youtube views for MoS to be really interesting. Normally, a popular movie trailer litters my facebook feed. However, I have only seen it show up on my Home page once.

Here's hoping WB isn't creating those page views using bots, and that they reflect genuine interest.

I thought it was obvious I was talking about the Superman character seen in movies exclusively.
 
I am looking forward to hopefully getting some new footage in the next trailer after this one (by the when's that going to be?). Maybe it will be possible for us to puzzle together all the footage to fully recreate the comic-con trailer in all of its glory.

Edit: Issue has been resolved!
