Kanedas Bike Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Have you seen some of these teaser trailers these days? The Dark Knight's teaser trailer only had voice-overs and logos. The Amazing Spider-man's teaser just showed him running on a roof till a building showed a reflection. This is on par to what other teasers have put out. Si. Then maybe a deep down personal bias against Superman? I dunno. I hope the movie is fantastic, I have reasonable expectations with Nolan attached as a Producer but usually teasers, voice over only or not, do something more to pique my interest. -b. Quote
EXO Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 It sure got me... I want to watch Deadliest Catch all of a sudden. Quote
taksraven Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Contrails and sonic boom. Chemtrails man, Superman is working the alien conspiracy and trying to spread mind controlling chemicals around the earth. Quote
azrael Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 The teaser does leave some clues as to the things I've read about the movie. Although it will be a mash-up of stories, there was word about a year ago that the story drew from elements of Superman: Birthright. Much like how Batman Begins drew from Batman: Year One, Batman: The Long Halloween and a few others. This popped up prior to SDCC: http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2012/07/10/new-man-of-steel-plot-details-leak/ And judging by the SDCC panel reports, that seems to be the case. Hence, why you see Clark on a fishing boat, hitch hiking, etc.. They're doing a kind of abbreviated form of Smallville with Birthright elements in there. Search the 'net for this movie and Birthright together and you'll see lots of results. Quote
Mog Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 WTF ??? Clark Kent was a fishman!!! Crossover with Aquaman NOW! Justice League tie-in/build-up! Quote

ron5864 Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I thought I was watching the trailer for The Perfect Storm 2. Quote

Ghost Train Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Russell Crowe really did a good job belting out those lines. Quote
badboy00z Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 I don't think so. They're just trying to be dramatic and show how cooperative Superman is. I wonder what he'd done to get arrested? Lol Quote
EXO Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 public indecency. The guy forgot to put on his briefs. Quote
badboy00z Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 The suit without the red shorts still looks weird to me. I don't really care for the "making it more modernized" approach they used. IMO a Superman suit needs to have the red shorts. There's too much blue and makes it look like he's wearing a unitard. Quote
Mr March Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 Good or bad, Snyder still knows how to make some of the best movie trailers in the business today. Quote
Dobber Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 yeah, I really liked that too. Someone told me that Supes powers where going to be toned down a bit too. Not sure if that is true or not. Chris Quote
EXO Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I never fell asleep thru a trailer before. Quote
Mommar Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Well, it's a good trailer. Definitely a good tease, which is what you'd hope to have. I hope the movie follows suit. Quote
Knight26 Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 one question, how does superman shave and cut his hair, doesn't it retain the same high tensile strength as the rest of him? Quote
Twoducks Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Now I want to see it. Certainly more interesting looking than the “Stopping a huge chunk of glass from falling” finale we got last time… soooooo epic one question, how does superman shave and cut his hair, doesn't it retain the same high tensile strength as the rest of him? On the comics, I think they once said he bounced his headvision off of a mirror or special reflective surface towards his face to cut the hairs. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 one question, how does superman shave and cut his hair, doesn't it retain the same high tensile strength as the rest of him? He uses shears. (I figure if anyone will get that, you will) Quote
EXO Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 I didn't get it... lol. But actually I used to have a comic book store and I asked one of the huge nerds there and they said that he uses his laser vision and a mirror... that was actually in one of the books. Quote
PetarB Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 He uses shears. (I figure if anyone will get that, you will) Engineering student here. I groaned. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Sad that a joke like that is probably less geeky than the "real' explanation. Quote
Mr March Posted December 12, 2012 Author Posted December 12, 2012 Finally got home and had a second chance to go through the trailer and gather my thoughts. I must say that aside from everything else we've seen in the posters and trailers, I am very intrigued by the direction they've chosen to approach Superman. If they deliver on what is being shown here, I think it's a brilliant take on the character. The most common complaint you always hear about the adaptation of Superman is whether the world really wants to see the character at all. Is Superman too old-fashioned? Is the character at all relevant for our times? Is Superman a character far too out of touch with modern audiences? This trailer appears to be asking exactly those questions about the character and sure enough, the trailer ends with a big question to the audience watching it..."What do you think?" I think they've nailed the perfect way to hook audiences on Superman by making a film that takes aim dead center of that common criticism and doesn't back down. I only hope the full film delivers on the promise they've shown here. For my part, I'm definitely ready for a world with a great new Superman film. Quote
badboy00z Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 That looks pretty good and I can't wait to see it. Who was he fighting?? I wonder what direction the video game will take? Quote
badboy00z Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 one question, how does superman shave and cut his hair, doesn't it retain the same high tensile strength as the rest of him? Like everyone has said he uses his heat vision and a mirror in the comics. Though it doesn't really make sense to me because the heat needed to burn his hair would melt the mirror? Maybe in the movie they'll go with a Kryptonian blade (Smallville reference) or he just scratches it off with his fingernails like Hancock. lol Quote
Knight26 Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 one question, how does superman shave and cut his hair, doesn't it retain the same high tensile strength as the rest of him? Groan, that was bad DH Quote
