Henry Cavill was chased out of all of his roles despite how popular he was in them because he's based and wouldn't take part in the woke b.s. of Hollyweird. He was constantly having to babysit his characters against angry feminazi and letter-people writers. His unwillingness to compromise quality and integrity in service of "the message" got him practically excommunicated from the industry. That's why he's not Superman nor The Witcher anymore.

Brandon Routh could make a fine supes too, in his day, but the dialogue was wooden and unconvincing. That's mostly all on direction and writing. That said -- I'm just not a fan of many of the design choices. Suit looks... off. Great colors, interesting variation of the 'S' but it looks like something from a backline Marvel character (imo) and I am just not sold. I think the MOS suit set a good baseline to iterate from, if a bit too dark blue for my tastes, and the Superman & Lois suit was shockingly good for a TV series.

As much as I loved Christopher Reeve in the "original" , the annoying plot holes like how exactly did Lex Luthor figure out Kryptonite? And if Krypton is indeed in another Galaxy, the fragments couldn't possibly "drift" to Earth by happenstance. And why did this "Phantom Zone" flying pane of glass just happen to be passing by Earth right when Superman sends an elevator with a thermonuclear bomb into outer space? Superman III and IV were absolutely corny and campy and cringe inducing. Brandon Routh was a descent stand-in for Reeve as Superman Returns was an attempt to continue the story in the same universe. Even going so far as to use Marlon Brando's holographic image in the Fortress of Solitude. I really liked Henry Cavil and the Zack Snyder DCU. They did a decent job of bringing the Justice League together and Ben Afflec's Batman was good. I guess Superman is one of those characters that is so timeless and universal, you can't ever have just one perfect actor to play the character. While Christopher Reeve will always be my favorite, the 1978 depiction of Metropolis is a bit dated now. Complete with CRT televisions and rotary phones. I'm hopeful for this one.

[@mytruepower2]

It's not just Kryptonite. Superman has a number of weaknesses that villains can take advantage of. He has basically no defense against magic, forced teleportation, time travel, the radiation of red stars, and many higher-level beings can outdo, or even outright take away his powers. He also has no shortage of villains who can compete with him on various levels and in various ways. The Parasite, Metallo, Zod, Mongul, Livewire, Bizarro, Mxyzptlk, Brainiac, and oh, yes. Darkseid, among many others. If they don't want to go with any of those (and that's perfectly fair,) then they can come up with a completely new super-villain. It's not at all difficult to imagine up a character, demon, monster or alien that can keep up with Superman in their own way. You just have to be willing to tell stories about very powerful evil creatures and heroes. Just a few ideas would include; (1) some ancient pagan god rises again to reclaim his or her old throne, and Superman has to find some way to defeat them, (2) a Jekyll and Hyde-type character is possessed by a monster that causes him to become superhumanly powerful and destructive when subjected to certain stimuli. Superman realizes this, and struggles with the need to defeat this enemy, while also not wanting to hurt the man, (3) super-powered aliens from a nearby star arrive on Earth and offer their help to protect Earth from further threats, but of course, it turns out to be a deception, and some of them abduct Superman. He needs to learn their weakness before they can put their evil plan into action. Superman is *the* super-hero. Stories about him just have to be exciting and impressive; they don't take all that much to work out.

i would have liked them to finish that story line myself however it is what it is we just move on. maybe this one will be good.

Henry is not the same religion as the new actor. And if you understand Hollywood,... Then this makes total sense.

[@TruDis01]

And how is that relevant to anything?

I’d ask OP what that has to do with anything but I really don’t care.

Yep, plus Cavill won't go along with the woke hivemind BS that those people love so much so he had to go

[@NoNeed2No]

​@@TruDis01Open your eyes

[@THEAdmiralXizor]

What if they brought back Cavill, Hadot, etc. as the CRIME SYNDICATE?! Snyder fans WOULD show up to see Cavill's Ultraman punch Corenswet in the face...😅

[@CaptainReynolds-flyinspace]

This is look almost the same to previous movies. Bleak, whashed out and too contrasty. And its not just a cokors, its bad overcast c8nematorgraphy.

[@stormsigma]

I just can't believe they made Clark Kent a friggin' Broccoli Bro. Fuck sake.

[@brando3342]

Meh, it does look pretty bad to me. I'm not saying that CGI is bad in general, but THIS CGI looks quite shit in my opinion. The color tone is also really basic, like there is no character to it at all.

[@GooniesGirl]

I thought I was the only one who noticed the questionable CGI 🤔

[@MrMeatballMasterMort]

Looks like a CW TVshow from 10 years ago.

[@ak-ff8mw]

The colour tone is same as suicide squad sequel. Also the CGI.

[@Barbarian646]

Totally agree

Agreed. Over saturated and cartoonish.

Im sorry, Krypto the superdog made me laugh and not in the way the movie intends. It all feels a little too campy and like a parody. Its more like an Austin Powers interpretation of superman and i dont think the normie neutral audience will take to that so much. Krypto the superdog... 😄😆😅🤣😆😄

[@stonebaxter]

So, to sell me on a new Superman....you start with him beaten into a bloody pulp. Wow! Genius marketing, WB. We've seen this guy deconstructed over and over for the past 20 years. I'll pass another round of "he's just one of us" love stories.

[@darthkai8242]

I thought the EXACT same thing! Glad I wasn't the only one. And the way they weave the labored breathing into the teaser itself? Are we sure Syder isn't still involved here 😂

[@captainavatar0]

Colour correction is a surprisingly overlooked aspect of post processing. The gray was a Snyder choice obviously but the colours popping have a comic feel.

[@CensorTube84]

It looks like James Gunn imo. A bunch of unnecessary tear jerking in a comic book movie. 🤢

[@theblueoctopus4494]

Guy Gardner's haircut alone is worth the price of admission.

[@orlandocardoza974]

I think Superman is a hard hero for me to like, because as you stated, he is overpowered. When he steps out of the door he is invulnerable. He can not be brave, because there is nothing that he fears, there is nothing that he has to overcome. His villians have to be overly overpowered or the . I love the idea of his purity. An alien Captain America,

[@brianoden1798]

Im 57 and saw the Christopher Reeve movie in the theater. The music takes me back to my youth. I'm hoping this movie is great . It's all about the story , will it get me to care about the characters.

[@brianoden1798]

@DarkCROWgaming thanks

[@christianwestling2019]

I'm with you that the Snyder Universe should've finished.

[@chuckintexas]

What the SHOULD do with a nearly all powerful Superman , is not just to match him up against an equally powerful adversary , although that would always be a pertinent element if used correctly, but to have him use his intellect to solve problems, employing his super-powers when called for , to overcome otherwise impoosible barries to progress and success. This can be both overcoming obstacles that would stymie mere mortals AND to gain the advantage when needed. It doesn't ALWAYS _have to be_ a major "fight scene" .

[@daveythesearcher]

Him struggling to breathe at the start then with the old theme had me hooked

[@TruDis01]

Me too. But then I was out once he started whistling

[@bofawhatsbofa4593]

Struggles to breath but managed to maintain a long high pitch whistle🤦🏽‍♂️ yeah makes sense

[@Agesilaus.88]

I think opening the trailer with him bleeding was a message.

[@northernerlivingthedream7373]

[@MedalionDS9]

Having Superman bloodied on the ground and having Krypto save him is quite a bold choice to present your first look at the new Superman... I get more the sense of how fantastical the world he inhabits than this is why I should believe in THIS Superman I got chills for the movie of how Comicbook crazy this is gonna be, but I still don't know if this Superman will work just yet I think what they are doing is, we need to see Superman kinda beat down and hated so he can have his redemption arc or something... it's quite the choice Good lord did they make Green Lantern Guy Garnder (played by Nathan Fillion) look bad... holy shit... I didn't recognize him and thought that was Pedro Pascal or Christopher Lloyd's Fester Addams or something

[@chance_ondriezek99]

Seeing Krypto made me smile, not gonna lie 😁

[@northernerlivingthedream7373]

How to make a crappy movie more palatable, put a dog in it. 😂

[@eclectic_gamer]

worst cover of John Williams theme I have heard, probably ever. Superdog utterly ridiculous idea in a live action movie, Donner is turning in his grave.

[@TruDis01]

Agreed. Sounds like they hired Slash to cover it

[@TotesRandom]

So so true. Theres a reason so much of the comic stuff never used to make it into the movies, it was called quality control. I laughed SO HARD when i saw a little white dog with a cape appear ...and then to start pulling superman? 😄😄😄 it felt like the movie was an SNL comedy sketch not a live action 200mil movie. Guess thats where the standards of movies is at today... and the reason they had to coin the term "flopbuster" 🤣

[@Justice107]

Just use the animated series of Superman from the 90s as an example of depowering him. He doesn't have to be so powerful from the start that the entire city is doomed if he sneezes.

[@vyperleo]

Still waiting to be impressed.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

I never had issues with how Man of Steel looked. I really loved the emotional core of the movie. Even Batman Vs Superman was enjoyable. One of my favourite elements was Batman trying to contribute to the doomsday fight when Superman and Wonder Woman are basically gods in comparison. Slightly different but relatable is Sokka in Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animated) At times he, as a non-bender, had to work so hard to contribute when the others were all benders. Superman did become overpowered and kryptonite cannot be the only solution. Things still need to have weight, literally and figuratively. His powers and abilities all need limits and as heroes stories normally go those limits will need to be broken to beat the bad guy. He will need to try and to fail and to try again. He will need to put in the effort and earn those victories.

[@anarchisthistoryofnewzeala541]

There's so much going on; If the story container can hold it then she'll sail true.

[@elenabob4953]

I'm not sure that it does his job, for me was "meah, I will skip this because if the promotional video didn't made me feel exited, I'm not going to waste a few hours to see it"

[@kurtl8425]

Gunn wants total creative control and, right or wrong Cavill demands input. Also, I can imagine the Cavill/Afleck/Gadot/Mamoa combo is really expensive and still doesn’t guarantee a big draw. Based on this teaser, unless we find out there’s something weird in it I’ll give the new one a chance.

[@Galgomite]

It’s impressive how different Clark Kent looks in this one. I wish I could be more optimistic, but the word that came to mind for me was “busy.” They show so many characters here, it looks like a preview for a whole universe, not a movie, so I don’t understand the how they’ll fit anybody.

[@choreomaniac]

This will likely be the last Superman reboot under copyright. If this is a trilogy that ends in 2029, it would likely take a couple of years to reboot again but Superman goes into public domain in 2034. I would love to see the creativity unleashed with a public Superman.

[@Dizzy247365plus]

I DON'T TRUST IT. Overall it's a mixed bag to me. There's gonna be some very cool "COMIC BOOKY" things in this movie that'll go over big with most normies...but GUNN clearly is also putting things in it directly to attack the sensibilities of purists ( that suit, for example is just a non-starter. I hate it every time I see it. WHY DOES SUPERMAN NEED KNEEPADS???) That's why I'm not going to support it. I'm sick of Hollywood antagonizing the fan base. I'm just so sick of "a FRESH take." All that aside, KRYPTO ABSOLUTELY STEALS THE TRAILER.😊

[@GearsAndGaming]

Going back to flank steak after Wagu A5 is a tough sell for me. I also don't want to go back to the campy DCU style. So the dog is a bit too much of a stretch for me. Hope it does well but I'm not feeling this one.

[@fyrfly8768]

Why the fk does Superman flinch when someone throws a can at him?

[@supertoyota5]

Oliver harper said the same thing about the colour looking good

[@O4C209]

The casting for the DCEU was actually pretty good. The stories, in general, were terrible.

[@NiallMor]

As I said when I saw the trailer itself: This might not suck. But we'll see.

[@radioflyer68911]

Earth passes through a kryptonite cloud as in Maximum Overdrive. A whole day where supes is powerless.

[@Crea_TV]

Okay I'll give some positives then some negatives. 1. The Suit is Matte, as all suits should be, it's bright as Superman's outfit should be. 2. His Clark is accurate, he is humane, not a wayward god looking for his place on earth. Now the negatives... 1. The suit has a collar, this means the actor has no trapezoids or they look down on muscles/real men 2. The suit is new 52 styled, which means the story is eventually gonna lean into "replacing" him somehow. 3. Krypto isn't a Labrador or a white german shepard, if you want a fuzzy dog, you get a husky. I can rain way more negatives but those are the dominant ones, I'm hoping Supes will get an upgrade in a trilogy, where his suit transitions from his baby blues to Royal blues.

[@richardenglish2195]

At first I thought, "Oh God, not moody Superman again" - but when Krypto turned up it piqued my interest. I could do without the appearances from Green Lantern and Hawkman, but I'm cautiously optimistic about what we could have here.

[@RobertoTheOriginalManFromTheA]

Again all I'll say is if this fails...The DCEU needs to close shop period...but there will be clap back because of So many Henry Cavill fans..

[@LokiScarletWasHere]

I've seen the DC movies reboot so many times it *feels* like a nearly daily occurrence. I know that's an exaggeration compared to how many times they actually have rebooted it, but it's still enough times that it doesn't surprise me like rebooting the MCU would.

[@matthewronsson]

If the Movie comes from a place of respect for the source material, it can't be all bad. Even if it's not great, that would at least warrant a view when it goes to a streaming platform that I am already on.

[@mrwicked7]

I really don't know why nobody has remade the Christopher Reeve costume using today's modern tech and materials.

[@petermj1098]

Reeve didn’t need a padded suit he used and showed off his real muscles.

[@CameronKiesser]

Okay, I would have forgiven them for pulling the rug under Henry Cavill if they made MoS 2, JL2 as animated movies with cheaper voice cast. Tying up loose ends would give a better foundation of calm and embrace for the new. But instead they just gave us a sour taste and some Snyderbros are in full cult mode to try to cope.

[@rhenmerchant5715]

They should have given Henry a final solo movie and that should have been the beginning of "Injustice God Among Us". I would have loved to see Henry in that Superman role.
