Ah, I knew they had to do some cheap trick like that to give Batman the edge. I've always thought Superman might've been interesting if they'd done a storyline something similar to Doctor Manhattan in Watchmen. I mean a story that looks at what happens to someone who is pretty much omnipotent.

There's a pretty cool Superman story I read recently called Red Son. 

It's an alternate timeline where it explores the idea of if Superman had crash landed in Russia rather than America. He basically becomes the King of the World. 

 
I seem to recall Batman builds a Kryptonite suit not 100% though, Personally not too excited for this movie Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill are both very limited actors imo.

True, they are, but you don't need to be Daniel Day-Lewis to act in a superhero movie!

Hmmm... That does sound pretty interesting. Thanks for the tip.

Then again, Robert Downey Jr has shown that it doesn't hurt a superhero movie if you have a proper actor in the main role.

 
I imagine we will see red cryptonite come in to play here.. I was never a big fan of this storyline

 
Bit fed up of all the superhero movie domination in cinema these days. I was never a comic book fan unlike a couple in this thread I just feel that the Man of Steel movie had a good foundation to create a really good set of Superman movies. I was a big fan of the Nolan Batmans and Man of Steel gave me a bit of hope as the Marvel movies just dont do it for me. This for me though just looks meh as DC look to make their own universe. 

Cinema will be dominated by Disney classics made into live action adaptions and the Marvel/DC universe for the next 10 years or so.

Seeing the Star Wars trailer the other day was so refreshing to see, JJ Abrams knows how to make a movie.

Superman Returns was one of the most boring movies I've seen and I've never been a huge fan of Zack Snyder's movies, so I haven't been in any hurry to watch Man of Steel. Nolan's Batman trilogy definitely had its moments, although as a whole it's quite uneven. The first one was ok, the second one was good, but the third one was terrible.

Steel in my opinion apart from blowing up the entire city and the way Costner died had a good foundation for a Superman franchise. I just feel with this latest trailer it seems DC have buckled under the pressure to create their own universe with a more gritty atmosphere. It was always going to go down that way but it looks like it's going down the way of Watchmen. A gritty style which is heavily influenced by comic books. Don't get me wrong I can see why the comic book world would love that but it ain't for me.

What made me prefer Nolans Batmans was the story and production value, I felt engrossed in those movies. Dark Knight Rises was far from terrible. They were dark movies but they had a strong sense of realism which was aided by Nolans desire to not be heavy on VFX. His franchise critically remains king of the superhero genre and I don't think Marvel will get close to it in acclaim.

It's just my take on it, I'd prefer that we will get more standalone blockbuster movies but we are in the world of remakes, prequels, sequels and franchise driven movies.

 
So, the new trailer was released at Comic-Con last night. What do people think? Looks pretty epic


 
I like how they've shown that Bruce Wayne was actually at the battle of Metropolis at the end of Man of Steel. It's nice to know that the mindless destruction caused by Supes and Zod won't just go unpunished. 

I'm not sure about Jesse Eisenberg as Lex yet, but time will tell. Looks promising overall. 

 
That trailer was more pornographic than anything you find Red Tube. 

Can't wait to see it. 

 
zack snyder trailer always been great, better than the film most of the time

not getting my hopes up, man of steel was a disappointment

I didn't think it was. People moaned after Superman Returns, because there was not enough action. MoS delivered on this front 10 fold, loved everything about it.

 
Never been a superman fan and this honestly just looks pretty boring.
