You Want Superman Revamp? [Also the Man of Steel (2013) thread]

Zack Snyder should be applauded for not doing the Man of Steel teaser that he REALLY wanted: A Slow motion punch that lasts 2 minutes.

superman 2; best superhero/comic movie ever i mean come on.

eh I wouldn't go that far.

will go as far as "movie, i mean come on"

lol yes

Intriguing exchange: "What was I supposed to do? Let them all die?" "Maybe."

Could work.

this movie is going to be a DELIGHT

I didn't see any super slo-mo in the trailer, so cautious hope.

I hate absolutely everything about it. I know that's hyperbolic, but Snyder really bothers me and this trailer just gets my hackles up.

So basically every movie trailer has to look like Dark Knight Rises now?

I hope Pa Kent dies because he goes on a murdering spree attempting to eradicate witnesses who've seen Clark's powers in action and the police take him out in a hail of bullets

I want him to tell Clark that he does not belong on land, and that the ocean, his only home, calls to him.

"You don't understand! All the people in that bus DESERVED TO DIE!"
<hail of gunfire>

Pa Kent: "Clark, I wanted to send you to an adoption agency. It's only because your mother insisted..."
<Clark headbutts his old man so hard he goes into orbit>

after Pa Kent's death, Ma Kent starts an incestuous relationship with an already-traumatized Clark that is discovered by Clark's classmates, who record their illicit tryst and post it on the Internet, where it goes viral; Ma Kent hangs herself during the ensuing trial and Clark is put into a foster home with the wealthy, kindly Luthor family on the other side of town

Why so serious?

I want him to tell Clark that he does not belong on land, and that the ocean, his only home, calls to him.

plot twist: this is secretly the story of Aquaman

strong, athletic Clark is embraced by the Luthors, much to the chagrin of their son, Clark's nerdy classmate Alexander; thus are sown the seeds of a sibling rivalry that will haunt the two for the rest of their adult lives

I would see all this movie.

I was kind of excited by the pre-Dark Knight Rises (or Bourne, maybe?) teaser - it looked like a slow, grey melodrama about a New England fishing village (aka my catnip) before I figured out it was Superman.
Kind of looks like a turd now.

hahaha yup

this looks shit

Man of Creel

Po-faced Singer Superman + po-faced Ang Lee Hulk=no fun. Superman has always been one of the least dramatically compelling superheroes because he is Superman. Sort of like Thor with no family squabbling. Annoyed that they thought they could remedy this by grafting on internal pain and torment.

The twist, obviously, is that Kevin Costner is super, too, but he has mastered the art of not saving people.

I love Superman Returns.

I spent the whole movie feeling sorry for Criss.

I want him to tell Clark that he does not belong on land, and that the ocean, his only home, calls to him.

lol

ang lee's hulk is the greatest btw

I love Superman Returns.

Really? I thought it was clumsy and dull until Superman started peeping through Lois's windows like a stalker. Then I hated it.

there's 90% chance i will see this movie, but i do wonder how (or if?) all this "what kind of man do you want to be?" earnestness fits in with him being a dickless dork crushing on his co-worker

i'm so curious how all this fancy pants digital prestige camera biz works in a superman movie that there will have to a tidal wave of zzzz's from preview audiences for me not to see it

some people will really vigorously defend Superman Returns. its not really my bag, but it does do some pretty different things with the character

more like skeevy man returns

five years after knocking lois lane out with his super sperm...the man of steel is back to gaze at her longingly in his (still) secret identity.

it is a shame we won't find out whether he ever spoke to his son while the son was conscious

I anticipate having some very depressing conversations with my daughter about this movie (and, specifically, why we will not be watching it)

haha aww.

it just bums me out - my daughter (5 yo) is WAY into Superman and it's going to break her little heart that a) this movie is probably not going to be rated G and b) it is going to suck

"What was I supposed to do? Let them all die?" "Maybe."

god this is so fucking wrong URGH SMASH

maybe pa kent is the bad guy!

If the action sequences are going to be typical Snyder, then I'm going to hope 95% of it is Superman trying to get out of a sealed phone booth

careless talk costner lives

what I think would be great is if Superman did all of these great heroic things to offset the fact that every night he turns into a person-eating monster

this looks boring as fuck

Supermange

(xpost)

I blame all of you that went and saw Watchmen for this btw

Jeepers Supers
