Ew heterosexuals!

Probably mad that the movie will actually draw an audience.

 

[Doom85]

This Supergirl gets shot with arrows while drunk.

Oh, certain people will still start outrage drama about that movie because, if it follows the comic run which definitely seems to be the case, it’s focused on Supergirl helping an alien girl hunt down a murderer who happens to be a man, so you know, “woke” will definitely come up from certain Youtuber ragebaiters and such. Never mind they’re avenging the alien girl’s father who is portrayed as a wonderful man and father in the flashbacks, as is Supergirl’s father, but FACTS and CONTEXT certainly won’t ever stop the clickbait-loving forced drama media grifters from getting that sweet, sweet outrage money.

 

[Trunx81]

I don’t feel it. Maybe it’s the colors. Especially in the scene with the little girl, this bright yellow. It looks so artificial.

And Luthor with a gun looks like a cheap Agent 47 from Hitman.

Gives me the same vibes as the Argylle movie..

 

[Judge Death]

In for Pruitt Taylor Vince as Pa. Honestly though, looks great. I don't think any modern superhero movie has matched what it felt to watch Superman 1 & 2 when I was a kid. Hopefully this is the one to change that.

 

[VulcanRaven]

This Superman comes of as weak, a coffee cup thrown at him makes him blink...? Even the crater he creates why falling from the sky...looks weak somehow...

Calling it now, Supergirl will be much stronger than him. Other than that, looks okay I guess. Glad Louis is hot and apparently hetero.

I like that Superman isn't too strong. He power level was perfect in the old Fleischer Studios cartoons.

Yea he didn’t become invincible until the late 70s and into Man of Steel. Then it took Dan Jurgens to kill the guy in the early 90s.

 

[Trunx81]

The music though is great

 

[Neff]

Awful

 

[cormack12]

Was really good, then loads of random supes started showing up and just turned me off.

 

[Days like these...]

I noticed that too. I don't know what's wrong with me but I notice the tiniest things another thing that bothered me is when superman and lois are hugging in the air why is her body dangling away from his is there no gravity? They both look almost perfectly perpendicular

 

[DirtInUrEye]

10 minutes until everyone on the internet is suddenly an Academy Award winning cinematographer

It's easy to frame it that way.

[Doom85]

Sooooo, adapting characters from the comics = “not taking them seriously”?

Funny enough, Snyder called James Gunn to give him his best wishes and that he hopes the new movies are successful.

James Gunn Responds To Zack Snyder's Comments About New DCU Franchise

James Gunn is ready to answer Zack Snyder.

Got to love how the Snyder cultists just actually ignore what their object of obsession actually says.

 

[Days like these...]

Everything has been off since the get go with the shot of him putting his boots, the costume leaks and now the trailer. I hope I'm wrong but I'm not feeling it

 

[sankt-Antonio]

For the start of a universe I feel there are way too many characters on display. None will get the screen time needed to really make an impression.
I had high hopes there was not gonna be world ending cgi monsters in the first movie of this universe. My prediction: DC will become galactic, in scope, way to fast and fall in the same trap Marvel did. After a certain point you can’t escalate the threads to mankind.

 

[Space Runaway]

Look alright. Could still go either way. I do hope the actual movie has it's own unique theme song though.

Gunn wrote Snyder’s best movie.

Because it’s Guy Gardner.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

that looked like complete dogshit

 

[ReBurn]

I like super hero movies. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[KyoZz]

Oh I haven't been told but it's a CW show? That looks so bad.

I said the teaser teaser looked very flat, KyoZz.

WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME???

My bad, the rest is still true tho.

 

[Revolutionary]

Looks amazing. Gonna be another banger from Gunn.

Meanwhile, Snyder cultists are once again reminding everyone that they are 100% certifiably retarded.

 

[3liteDragon]

This looks sick

 

[BouncyFrag]

My puppy dog sitting on my lap perked up when Supes whistled.
*hugs puppy dog*

My puppy dog sitting on my lap perked up when Supes whistled.
*hugs puppy dog*

Your dog (translated): “No, human friend! What are you doing?! Why restrain me so?! Did you not hear Superman’s cry for help? I must make haste up to the Arctic to assist him! Mankind’s fate depends on it! Please, human friend! No, don’t hold me closer! You have surely doomed us all!”

 

[GloveSlap]

I liked it. Looks like the right kind of crazy.

Nobody would ever think Superman was a broccoli douche, it's the perfect disguise.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Why is Simple Jack in this movie

Is this Nathan Fillion?

 

[ManaByte]

 

[ManaByte]

Is this Nathan Fillion?

Yes. Gunn cast him just so he could see him with that haircut.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

First half of the trailer was garbage with trashy electronic guitar. The second it changed music and showed Lex, it got much better. But I dont like how there seems to be all kinds of other superheroes, a dragon and whatever other magical stuff there is.

Superman isnt Marvel battlefests with tons of characters.

Superman should be him, Lex and a major foe or simialr grouping like Zod and gang. Thats it. The guy who plays Lex looks good though.

 

[Lord Panda]

I kinda dig it, especially for Krypto alone. Wish he was the main character.

 

[DeafTourette]

Btw... That weird white face that's looking up... That's Metamorpho played by Anthony Carrigan

 

[ManaByte]

Superman has more villains than Lex and Zod.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Superman has more villains than Lex and Zod.

Agreed.

But that trailer had more superhero and wacky stuff in it though. Looks like other superheroes and a giant dragon. It's like it's becoming a Marvel group party.

And a superdog?

Most likely, the other heroes are the JLI, the Justice League International, being run by Maxwell Lord.

My theory is that the movie will depict the JLI heroes as heroes BUT they have sponsors and such, only do official interviews and don’t really talk much to people in public, etc., basically “corporate” superheroes. Also, Maxwell Lord will use and deceive them into thinking Lex Luthor is on the up and up, with Luthor helping fund the team to boost his public image so he can make it less likely anyone will investigate to see if he is involved in shady business which of course he will be.

Superman turns down the offer to join the JLI and instead helps people with no financial gain, sponsor, and he takes time to talk to people purely because he wants to. This infuriates Lex who already falsely believed Superman had a hidden sinister agenda, being a powerful alien, and is now outraged at Superman doing so many selfless acts that contradict Lex’s warped view on him, and so he tries to turn the public against Superman (and succeeds with a few of them as we see some citizens mad at Superman in one moment in the teaser). The JLI heroes are briefly duped into thinking Superman needs to be arrested (as we see Guy Gardener/Green Lantern going after him in one moment) but soon realize Lex is the true threat. Desperate, Lex turns to Plan B (my theory is he gets Bizarro to fight for him, either somehow recruits him from Bizarro World or they go the New 52 route and make Bizarro a clone of Superman) and the final fight of the movie ensues (probably with Lex fighting as well, maybe we’ll finally see the Power Armor he uses in the comics).

The kaiju is likely to be a short scene and not that relevant to the plot, just to show Superman’s heroics and strength and to showcase the fantastic nature of this world. The main plot I think will show why Superman is so special among the heroes and inspirational to those heroes and the world, and thus the movie is using these extra superheroes in the story to convey that. And such a plot is definitely appropriate for Superman.

It’s based on Silver Age Superman and All Star Superman. None of that is unusual based on that.

I'd lose my shit if Mxyzptlk is in this

 

[Doom85]

I know he’s done other runs, but Cable and Deadpool is a run I love so much.

 

[cormack12]

 

[March Climber]

looks cheap as fuck.

DC used to have some standards. They are clearly trying to capture the Bryan Singer 2005 teaser. and failing miserably at it.

Your Superman Returns teaser and Suicide Squad (The first one) teaser make it very apparent that teasers are not indicative of movie quality. Both were worse than advertised.

I'd argue the same goes for Dark Knight Rises as well, but people cope-review that movie at a much higher score than it deserves, knowing very well there are some awful parts in it that can't measure up against the first two.

 

[Liljagare]

Looks good, damn good and fun!

 

[Trilobit]

That Superman The Animated Series episode where Superman just trolls him (since Mxyzptlk will only leave for a few months if Superman tricks him into saying his own name backwards, cue Superman consistently tricking him in less than a minute constantly) basically the whole episode is god tier.

“Oh, it’s you again, Mr. Kltpzyxm.”
“Not ‘Kltpzyxm’! Mxyzptlk! Now, the first thing I’m gonna do- Aw, nuts!” (vanishes)

 

[thefool]

It's not a great trailer, kid looks a bit childish in comparison with cavill, costumes look kinda funky but i'll gladly watch it, hopefully on a movie theater.
