Don't worry once the trailers start rolling everyone else will get excited as well.

They were able to show Thor, The Hulk, and Ironman using their abilities and fighting without it looking weird.  I hope they can do the same with Superman.  It also worked in The Matrix when Neo was able to fly around like Goku.  A bad example would be how crappy Green Lantern looked.
I disagree with superhero movies having to be darker and that's the only way for them to be epic.  Some people have been drinking too much batman kool-aid.  Films should be light-hearted or more serious according to the material.  Making something more gritty won't work if it doesn't fit the character.  It's not something that would work for Spiderman.

Spiderman became 100% more popular once todd mcfarlene took over spidey & madeIt more darker.

Cavill was good in the "Immortals", solid cast, Nolan on board..Im actually looking forward to this

Well Singer did make the first two X-Men movies and Usual Suspects.. did you have lame jokes about his sexuality for those movies too?

 

[socalkid]

I would like to see this movie. I did not realize there was a superman movie in 2006.

I'm not doubting that the plot will be weak. But the Superman suit just doesn't work in real life.

To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of no underwear and making it like a one-piece unitard but I also hated the Amazing SpiderMan suit (which also looked like a one-piece spandex) from pics and it really did look much, much better in the big screen once there is movement and action. I barely even noticed the silver shoes. 
A teaser is suppose to come out with TDKR so hopefully we'll see how the suit looks when in action.

I'm not really excited for this.  I'd rather have another Superman cartoon movie or a new cartoon series.  The Superman cartoon on the WB and the JLA one on Cartoon Network were great.  They should've just kept those going.

They'll probably stop, cancel any plans for a WW or Aquaman movie and then try a JL movie anyway and go through with changing the actor portraying Supes.

I'm not hype for this either and I'm not a big fan of Supes but I'll give it a chance.

If they fail they're gonna just have to stick to their excellent animated movies.

EDIT

iirc the reason Supes doesn't have the underwear on the outside is cuz somebody else own s the rights to that style or look and WB doesn't want to pay extra for it. Same reason New 52 Supes has that unitard look now with the belt.

As far as Nolan's involvement goes how many great films has he produced? We all should keep in mind he's not directing this at all. I remember reading that he was vehemently denying he'd have any involvement in directing it (along with saying he will have nothing to do with another Batman film/reboot).

in nolan i trust.

Superman SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT BE DARK. That's not who or what he is.  And The Avengers just proved that you can top the box office as a fun superhero movie.

This! #$+ is the point of a dark Superman movie?

This man kows.

McFarlene is a big reason Spidey comics even survived to the modern day. He made it darker but he kept the balance of dude being a smart *%! wise cracking hero.

Darker superman will be

Never read any superman comics, but have they done any issues with a darker superman?

 

[girlslovewaffles]

superman returns probably has the best teaser trailer and the worst movie combination of all time.

i was SOOOO stoked for superman returns when the teaser trailer showed. that intro with the trumpet and the clark family mailbox.. chills.

 

[falcon4567]

They have and you end up with crap like Superman: At Earth's End or Superman: Earth One or you create a character like Superboy Prime. You're not supposed to be afraid of Superman; he's here because he wants to protect people and does so out of the goodness of his heart. The best Superman stories (All-Star Superman, Superman: Birthright, Whats So Funny About Truth, Justice and The American Way?, Secret Origin) remember that. Even stories like Kingdom Come and Superman: Red Son remember that even as their pushing Superman to be a bit of a facist. Hell the Red Son Superman still acts nobly even as the head of a corrupt regime.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

^Never read those comics, but i'll check them out online.


You telling me that with Nolan atleast producing, a darker superman couldn't work?


If it doesn't work, they will reboot it again. Isn't superman the most popular superhero ever, or atleast top 3 ever?

Zack Snyder got 300 and Dawn of the Dead under his belt, i think it will be pulled off.

 

[bossblaze]

I'll watch it just to see if it can get any worse than the last one.

 

[falcon4567]

What I'm telling you is that if anyone went into this movie saying "We have to make Superman DARK" then they had no business working on the film. You can make him pensive and an outsider and doubt himself and be distrusted by the world but that doesn't mean he has to be brought low by negativity. That's pessimism, not realism. Superman is an inspirational figure and he always should rise above to show us that we can also go beyond our baser natures.

PLENTY and not just stuff like Ultra Man, Bizarro, or alt reality Supermen like Red Son or #!@ he was in TDK. They've made Clark go to a dark place a few times for various reasons, never sticks for long but they've done it. Even in the cartoons like the Justice Lords.

The whole thing about a dark Superman is it basically proves Lex Luthor right. You can't have Supes flying around breaking the Toy Man's legs and lobotomizing Lobo with heat vision and what not.

I'd give it a chance though

I'll say again I wouldn't run with Nolan producing this film. Not at all the same as him directing.
