Not sure how I feel about the new Superman trailer 🤔

[media=https://youtu.be/XlFuYGfFabk]

I'm pretty over superhero films nowadays with the oversaturation of them in the past decade and a half. But I would be lying if I said the upcoming Superman movie hasn't caught my attention. This Superman seems a little more angsty than previous ones we've seen, but since he's supposed to be a younger, more inexperienced Superman, I suppose it's not too out-of-character of him. I do love the casting choices so far. I also like how the tone seems like it's going to be a mix of dark and gritty with light-hearted campiness. However, I'm not sure how I feel about the inclusion of these various characters like Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho, etc. That might be a bad sign that we're going to see the same problems with the DC Extended Universe in that a bunch of different things are going to be crammed into a single film. Either they'll make it work and rejuvenate DC comics in film or it'll be the final nail in the coffin for it. If it turns out to be good, though, I might just go see it.

Haven’t seen it yet, and I don’t want to play it now while I’m at work.
But if we can change from the dark and gritty version from Snyder and go back to good natured and fun version he’s meant to be, I’ll be happy.

@Straylight Wait until you watch the trailer. It looks like it's going to be a combination of the two. If them bringing Krypto the Superdog to the big screen for the first time is anything to go by, there'll be plenty of light-heartedness to be found, lol.

@Straylight @Ducky Same, haven't seen the trailer yet, but I'll watch it later. And a return to the traditional character would be better.

Alex -- I completely agree with you regarding the oversaturation of superhero movies. I started out needing to see them all, but then they started coming too fast and the whole Marvel vs DC just turned me off. But I'm willing to give this one a try! :)

So I watched the trailer and I’m going to see this when it comes out.
My only concern is me wondering if the giant monster was supposed to be Doomsday. Probably not, but I just hope they don’t try to rush into the death of Superman story too soon like Snyder did.

@Straylight I'm more worried about how they're already bringing in all these other superheroes. You'd think they'd have learned their lesson from the DCEU, but we'll just see.

@Straylight naw the bad guys are supposed to be the eradicator, ultraman and lex luthor. Im betting the monster only has a small part in the movie. Apparently monsters and heroes are normal things in this new movie universe so crazy stuff is gonna happen.

I have a feeling that it’s gonna be decent. James gunn usually delivers. Though I think getting rid of the dceu was a mistake I think it will be good. My only question is will it make enough money to keep the universe going.

I'm kind of excited to see where the new DC goes. I kind of like the new Superman
Straylight · 31-35, F
@smileylovesgaming Me too. They own two of my favorites (Wonder Woman and Flash) and I’d like to see them portrayed in a less… Snyder-y way.

@Straylight I'm excited to see super girl.

Oh there's also a Superdog! How cute is that! 🥰
Ducky · 31-35, F
@helenS That’s Krypto. I thought his inclusion was a bit silly from the first trailer they released. Especially since they’re making him into a little dog when he’s usually depicted as a larger breed like a white labrador or greyhound. But that falls into the somewhat campy tone they’re using for this movie. We’ll just see how they pull it off.

@Ducky Thanks, never heard of Krypto before. I have to admit I've never been a big Superman fan... I loved the funnies much more!
sarabee1995 · 26-30, FVIP
Okay, yeah, I want to see it now. It's on my calendar! 😁

Also, saw this on Reddit once.
Ducky · 31-35, F
@Straylight Ah, so that's why he looks like that... That's both funny and cool. 😆
