The teaser is playing before the new Potter movie, and played yesterday with smallville. Just watched the HDTV version of it, and thought I\'d make a thread for comments.
1) Clark/Superman - He definitely looks better than I thought he would from the early graphics of the actor and costume. A bit smaller than I might imagine superman as being, but not so much as to detract.
2) Metropolis has been taken to a very dark, dingy place, reminicent of Gotham city from the early batmans. Not at all how I would imagine Metropolis. Even the Daily planet had a dark metal and faded logo above their entrance.
3) Apparantly this movie is not really going to tie in with the new smallville series at all. I don\'t have a beef with that at all, although a superman movie with Smallville\'s characters and a continuing storyline would also be cool.
4) For a teaser, they showed basically nothing of enemies, the FOS, or really any action shots.

I kinda wish they didn\'t copy off the Matrix and have him fly like that but it still looks cool. ;\\
I wanna hear him talk. Curious to see if they\'ll have him be a panzy at a younger age or not.

Different strokes for different folks.

Honestly, I don\'t see what\'s so popular about Christopher Reeves as Superman anyway?
I would thought it\'s going to be popular, but i wouldn\'t expect it to be this popular...
The guy that play the original Batman. There, that guy have the looks of batman. He looks like the cartoon Batman that I used to watch a lot when i was little...

If you don\'t know why Christopher Reeves was perfect as Superman/Clark Kent, then you\'ll never understand.

Huh?
First off, Reeve (THERE IS NO S IN HIS LAST NAME!) was the perfect Superman for a number of reasons, to many to list.
Second, what "guy that play the original Batman"? Adam West? Or the serials? I know you aren\'t talkin\' about Michael Keaton, who was a great Batman, but terrible Bruce Wayne. He looked nothing like the Bruce Timm designs that you are reffering to.
-
Reeves was a great Superman at the time, but since then Superman has been reinvented into something new and different so it\'s tough to say.

Yep. There was George Reeves. Then there was Christopher. This new superman in the sky blue scaly tights is uh...well....the story should be better than the outfit.
-
Personally, I love the new costume. Its darker in colour and not so fruity like the old ones.

Batman changed for the better and Superman should too.

Umm... if anything, The Matrix copied off the original Superman films.
-
I like the "new" flight. My only problem will be with the CG, if they don\'t do better than the Matrix films, it won\'t hold up over the course of the years. And judging by the teaser, it doesn\'t look like the CG is blendin\' in all that good.
-
Wow, it\'s like they took the exact same scene and put Superman in it.
-
Damn...hip hugger style super-panty.
-
Hey, it\'s fair. Just like LucasArts crafting their Indy games after Tomb Raider.

I was *so close* to adding a smiley at the end of that but figured you lugheads would get it ;) If it brings you out of hiding then good!

This new trailer is bland just like the first one. Not much going on besides an odd looking flight scene.

Yeah, but then again, they haven\'t shown very much. I really hope it doesn\'t have the FAKE AS ALL HOLY HELL feel of the crappy flight scenes of The Matrix. People are depending too much on CG for things like this these days. :/
-
that "teaser" was the biggest waste of time ever. There were more shots of fields and holes in barns than anything else.
-
1. This is the first real trailer...
2. Fake flying in the Matrix? Wanna show me how a person can fly then because we\'re so use to seeing it?
3. Ma noodles are getting cold.

:stick:
Obviously people can\'t really fly. But the CG looked incredibly fake during the flight scenes. Neo didn\'t move naturally and it looked like a video game or something. He looked like a damn cartoon. Just very poor CG work. At least in the old movies with Christopher Reeve they used HIM, so it looked more realistic.
-
Cept the backround. :p And...pretty much everything else involving Reeves flying. He couldn\'t fly fast or make unique turns or anything special really.
It is CG looking but I can\'t complain. They never really used Neo\'s flying to a large extent in the Matrix. Superman is always flying around so I\'m looking forward to it.
I\'m not looking forward to the plot though...bring in Darkseid or Doomsday instead of another Luthor story.

I know what you mean, but you\'d think with today\'s technology, they could take that idea and make it so much better, instead of doing all this weird cartoony looking crap. CG works for everything that ISN\'T a human being. Otherwise it comes off as...strange. Completely replacing the actor always looks fake.

I hope they do a good job with it.

Yeah...some awesome villains would be nice.
Son of a bitch:

I hope they don\'t fruck this up.
