Speechless at the moment.

And a quick question; is that music from the actual score? I was a little bummed when I heard they weren't using John Williams' iconic score, but I think I could get on board with that music. It sounds good!

I am actually inclined due to the style of it with some extensive drumming (which there should be because he worked with like 12 drummers) that it could possibly be a clip of some of the music, but I have no idea.

Yeah, pretty sure that was music from the actual score. Never heard it anywhere before. No idea if it's *the* theme, though, as opposed to just a sample from the score in general. Threw me for a loop, as I was expecting something a bit more brooding, considering it's Hans Zimmer, but overall I really like it. It's certainly uplifting.

If it was his work, it is definitely more upbeat than his usual tone, but still sticks to his kind of drum heavy style of music.

Yeah, for sure.

The preview looks good, but I'm keeping my expectations low and hoping to be pleasantly surprised. If anyone can make Superman into a good movie, it's Nolan. I just don't like the character, so we'll see.

I think the whole concept of this Superman film is centered on this one exchange:

"Can't I just keep pretending I'm your son?"

"You are my son."

I think this movie has the potential to be great and finally put DC on a good course with their non-Batman franchises.

Holy Mary Mother of Pearl, that looks FREAKIN' AWESOME! Sorry, sometimes the fanboy in me is able to overcome the rest of me.

This is officially the movie I'm counting down to this summer.

Kevin Costner. Russell Crowe. Impressed the hell out of me. They clearly brought their A game. Even though they may not have that much screen time, they will have a huge impact

Watching it a few times.... even if the story is meh/acting meh... this thing looks like it is going to have amazing visual effects just in the few clips we have gotten to see. Music in the trailer definitely grows on you.

Holy sheet. Can not wait.

Absolutely. My friend who's seen it already said you really, really care about Clark Kent / Superman. Like, you genuinely feel sorry for him, and are so invested in him becoming Superman, realizing his potential, etc. To me, that exchange perfectly sets that up.

Yeah, that last, quick end-tag clip looks amazing. Throwing punches / fighting while flying at super-sonic speed. So cool, and looks to be so well executed. And I love that we only got a hint of it.

I remember the first time I saw that Costner was cast as Jonathan Kent and Russel Crowe as jor-el I thought, "wow... you can't cast those two roles any better."

"Can't I just keep pretending I'm your son?"

"You are my son."

I got chills.

And there you have it. Zack Snyder's action with Nolan/Goyer storytelling. This is gonna be good. Real good.

Anyone else see Nolan's hand all over this? Thematically. Hell even the lighting on the non CG stuff looks like Pfister.

Maybe secretly Nolan directed and told Foyer what to write. And then let Snyder do all the action sequences

Wow.

Holy ****. Can't wait

Wow, that is outstanding.

Btw, added the link to the OP.

I think I still have wood...

So looking forward to this. Always appreciate TCTTS' contributions to the E-board!

Notice the name on the building...

Nice

Any chance there will be any mention of a Justice League at the end similar to Iron Man? Can DC hope to match what Marvel has done? (I personally don't think they should rush Justice League, let it develop naturally like The Avengers did.)

I thought the trailer was very unimpressive....

I'm left wondering:

Why they chose to use Amy Adam's unimpressive voice overs. I'm sure they could have used another's lines to convey the same thoughts.

Why Michael Shannon's head constantly looks as though it's photoshopped onto his body.

Why people are so excited for Michael Shannon.

Why they chose that track.

I'll have to wait until I actually see it on the big screen, but Superman flying and punching that guy (Shannon?) looked really lame. I did like the sound effects in that section, though. It reminds me of various superman videogames.

I was really excited when the first Russel Crowe/Kevin Costner narrated trailers came out. Those gave me chills. I'm sure the movie will be great, but this trailer didn't do anything for me. I wondering why everyone else liked it so much.

Nonregdrummer09 - there was talk of that possibly happening, but not so much anymore. It'll likely just be setting up the sequel, if anything. Just doesn't quite look like WB has their ducks in a row yet on Justice League (which is fine by me).

I also thought that the "you are my son" scene was poorly acted, particularly by Clark's actor.

Looks good.

Eh. Seemed underwhelming.
