They say that escapism media tends to be a response to the particular anxieties of an era. Probably pretty telling that this looks like it’s going to be a multi-lateral, consensus-building, hope-inspiring take on Superman.
Truth, Justice, and [what we were sold as children should be] the American Way.
Also, KRYPTO! Dyno-Mutt and Blue Falcon movie when???
Didn’t actually watch the trailer to see if they use the old “American Way” slogan, but they changed it a few years back to “Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow” which I quite like
Why not use the old cartoon version. “Truth, Justice, and Peace.”
That is better, even just as a calculated marketing notion. The trailer didn’t actually have the slogan, just very traditionally wholesome Superman imagery, stuff like Supes being saved by a happy superdog, taking a big hit to save a child, hanging out on the Smallville porch with Pa Kent, that sort of thing. There are also at least two costumes in the trailer, and one of them is very old-timey with square-cut trunks.
Seems like Gunn has been tasked with channeling the Christopher Reeve movies and rebooting the Justice League (hopefully not entirely in in a single movie again), and doing all of it with more heart than the Snyderverse take on DC. Tall order, but he has shown he knows how to deliver the Superhero goods that the studios want while playing around on the edges enough to keep the formula fresh, so I might actually watch this one.
We still need a Solo BatFleck movie but he’s too old now
I think “the American way” is fine if Clark is depicted as someone who’s lived in America all his life and loves America, but esp. if you’re skipping that origin story (like this movie is), it does feel a bit odd to have an alien from a different planet so focused on the values of just one of the countries of Earth.
Looks pretty good (please dont suck please don’t suck)
Seeing Nathan Fillion with a bowl cut really throws me off. I think he would have been a better Hal Jordan.
Sharing my comment[0] from !dcstudios@lemmy.world:
I loved the teaser, but the thought that kept running through my head was that, aside from the style, colour palette, and a more varied supporting cast, this iteration feels very similar to the previous one: We still have a serious, bruised Superman enduring the public’s ire.
I find it ironic, given that the main critique of the character over the past decade was precisely this portrayal.
Perhaps the full trailer will distinguish the themes better.
Either way, I look forward to the movie.
Forgot that Krypto was in this
I love how triumphant this soundtrack is. This should be a treat.
Seems like the whole thing is in IMAX too, which would be cool.
I haven’t watched any Superman stuff other than the 80s movies. Did the other reboots use the John Williams theme?
I’m pretty sure Superman Returns did.
I think it’s the only one since then.The only iterations of Superman I’ve seen were the Snyderverse and LEGO Movie versions, neither of which used that theme.
I was expecting to hear “Do You Wanna Taste It” start playing during that closeup of Supe’s bloody mouth.
This looks genuinely cool.
Looks pretty dope. Too bad my mom won’t let me watch DC movies after how bad Batman v Superman was.
Is your mother’s name MARTHA?
I cringed so hard
You didn’t like that movie?
Nah. Suicide Squad neither.
Which one, the first or second one?
The first one was pretty bad although there was some stuff I liked about it.
BvS is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, surpassed only by Suicide Squad, which was the second movie I ever considered walking out on after Eat Pray Love.
I honestly can’t recall a worse theatrical experience than both BvS and Suicide Squad when it comes to expectations versus final entertainment value. I’d rather see Rise of Skywalker again, which made me so sad to watch.
EDIT: I see you might be referencing first or second SS. First one is clearly garbage, second is a solid 7/10 for most folks.
BvS is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, surpassed only by Suicide Squad
I can’t imagine how that’s true unless you don’t watch many movies. The first Suicide Squad movie is pretty bad but it’s nowhere near how bad a movie can be.
Green Lantern?
I mean…just going through movies I’ve seen this year, Venom 3 and The Substance were pretty bad. Madame Web and Argylle were awful too.
The first Suicide Squad. By the time the 2nd had come out, I’d sworn off DC movies altogether.
The only one I mourn is Joker (though not as sad about that because part deux has horrible reviews).
Joker and Shazam were good. Theo other stuff post Justice League either I haven’t seen or wasn’t good, beyond the second Suicide Squad ofc. (I did like Birds Of Prey but I admit that was a bad movie)
Joker 2 was great even though it was a pretty big step down from the first movie, but only I and Nando V Movies think that.
I’m glad this seems to be a comic book Superman and not another standalone origin story. IMO “Man of Steel” was pretty much the perfect solo superman origin story movie.
The costume looks like shit lol
this trailer tells me nothing. my only interaction with superman is some comics from the 60s, so i know krypto the wonder-dog, but since when is “there is a dog” something that you put triumphant music over?
since when is “there is a dog” something that you put triumphant music over
Since today, LOL.
The general vibe here is that this Suprman is good and kind, and the trailer is directly tying that notion to triumph. We’ll see if the movie bears that out (and if it’s just generally any good). Watching the trailer, I assume there’s going to be a part either at the beginning or in the middle where a set-piece in the more muted Snyder-y action-y suit is going to go very wrong and provoke a period of reflection, but I assume he’ll accept his inherent cheesy goodness by the last act.
the vibe i got is that he’s angry and stressed…
this trailer tells me nothing
In the day and age where trailer seems to be oversharing info in multiple trailers, this is good news to me. And as always i’ll stop watching any trailer after this.
I’m apparently the only one who thinks this looks fucking awful. The suit looks like shit which is a pretty major no no. The effects look on par with Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern. The casting leaves an enormous amount to be desired. I’ve never seen the chick playing Lois be believable in anything, nevermind good. The dude playing Clark looks like a teenager and the guy playing Lex somehow looks worse than Eisenberg which I didn’t think was possible, also looking like a damn child. They decided to full on rape the John Williams theme into something horrific. And that’s just criticising what’s in the trailer, not the trailer itself which is barely watchable garbage that gives way too fucking much information about the movie away.
James Gunn is hit or miss, rarely with a meh. This does not look like a fucking hit to me. This looks like a confusing jumble of a movie and trying to slap the same Guardians of the Galaxy energy to it. Please explain to me when the hell Superman ever had the same energy as Peacemaker or Guardians of the Galaxy?
This is a joke. It isn’t Superman. It’s a James Gunn self-congratulatory, masturbatory piece of garbage. This looks like shit. Just another cranked out Superman movie I’ll put on the shelf next to Superman Returns.
I also don’t find this appealing. I won’t agree with all of your reasons.
This being the 9th(?) live-action Superman is one of the largest contributors though.
Also, are you trashing this and saying you’ll still see it then buy the dvd?
No, I’m saying it’d be relegated to the same position on the shelf. Metaphorically. It looks like trash and I have zero hope for this when it’s giving me the exact same low-energy, low-effort garbage vibes as Superman Returns did.
Love you buddy, but I (mostly) disagree. There’s a few things that I think could be better, like casting, but overall I’m optimistic. It feels hopeful to me. Kind of tired of the drab, downright dirty looking costumes and looking forward to this brighter color palette. And his costume looks like the costume of maybe a hero starting out, which is how I’m taking it.
Guess we’ll see! If I’m wrong it wouldn’t be the first time.
Also: how many bad guys can you shove into a single movie? This looks like 4 movies worth of bad guys crammed into one.
It’s like Gunn forgot how to write for an individual character and NEEDS an ensemble now.
This is going to be awful and I’m kinda looking forward to gloating when it is.
The cgi looked kinda low budget for a big $ film in 2025 and it looked like there’s going to be so many villains that the audience won’t know who to dislike the most, but who knows. It’ll probably be more action than story.
That’s the spirit
I mostly disagree although I think Lex is miscast. He’s not too young, but I think he’s too small.
