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! :)
