The thing that this teaser has, that I needed, was seeing superman being good. When he saved the girl, I realized how much I've missed that from all of the Snyder movies. Superman is supposed to be an ideal. Having Clark not save his own father was as dumb as when they made Steve Rogers a Nazi in the comics. It betrays what the character means down at their core, and I don't think we learned anything else in the exercise.

I get that it's cool to shit on superhero movies these days, but man I hope this is good. I am a DC fan and the Snyder movies never did it for me.

I got chills. I love Nicholas Hoult. I hope he crushes it as Lex.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He can play entitled pricks really well and is also charismatic enough to sell Lex fooling the public about his intentions. He is going to crush it.

My God how did that awful costume get the green light...

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Jesus...

Krypto...
Hawkgirl...
Guy Gardner...
Mister Terriffic...
Metamorpho...
Stagg Industries...

This should be huge!

Theres so much going on that it feels like a TV series with a bunch of episodes rather than a movie. I hope they didnt cram so much into one movie that it all gets lost.

On the other hand, hopefully it means theyre skipping the whole "origin story" bull that every hero movie reboot seems to try to do.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, this movie is after Superman has been up and running for a couple years already.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

From what I understand, that's exactly what they're doing. Hope they do the same with the F.F. movie.

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for naming them. Lol I didn't know who they were. Except Krypto.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

For my money, the best Krypto story was one of his modern origins... Jor El zapped him into the Phantom Zone and he's always present for Clark, this invisble ghost dog. Until Supes breaks him out...

Action Comics #13 - Grant Morrison

This looks pretty silly, but then, I suppose when you think about it, Superman is kind of silly. Might as well lean into it. I've seen the serious, melodramatic superman and I really didn't care for it. Maybe this will work better. Then again, maybe it won't. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

This is inspired by the silver age comics, much lighter tone. Audiences balked at the dark broodiness of the Snyder-verse.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

if only for the dog, i want to see this

[–] Kolrami@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Movie idea: Reverse John Wick. Intergang somehow returns and kills Superman. Krypto goes on a killing spree avenging his best friend.

[–] classic@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

I would love to see this

[–] classic@fedia.io 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It worked for me. It suggests that they are really learning into the comic book-ness

agreed. i groaned a bit seeing yet another superman reboot, but the dog sold me

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Didn't realize he looks a little bit like a young Cavill.

I'm very genuinely teased. Can't wait!

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He literally looks like Cavill, Routh and Reeves rolled into one. Also like a young Nathan Fillion, funnily enough.

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I can't believe Gunn used this AI version... /s

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Starting of the trailer with Superman in the Yaumcha pose was choice
