They are making him a blue blooded Kriptonian tasked with helping Earth. The suit goes into that. That´s not realism, that´s an alternate take.

Well, it looks more realistic, just aesthetically, from any other Superman movie. And Zack Snyder also specifically said that he wanted to make it like if Superman really existed in the real world. So I'd say they're shooting for more realistic.

What, the bit where Superman is being hauled as a criminal? That´s social relevance. Even Donner´s and Singer´s movies had that.

So you're arguing that this isn't going to be more realistic than other Superman movies? You're arguing that even though Zack Snyder pretty much said that and Christopher Nolan is helping to make it as well?

Good luck with that.

I just think this is a really dumb approach. Unless they're giving Superman the Watchmen treatment, trying to make Superman realistic just doesn't make sense. A realistic Superman? Isn't this an oxymoron?

Well, I imagine it's only going to be as realistic as a ridiculously fantastical superhero like Superman can be, but whether or not it works remains to be seen. The trailer sure looks good, though.

Are they planning on releasing the trailer in front of The Dark Knight Rises? If not, why not?

From what I could tell of that footage, the tone they are going for is. Epic, dramatic, and emotionally charged.
Bring it on.

I honestly think that Snyder is playing to the tunes that the WB execs want him to, and that Nolan´s involvement is minimal.His name is there to give credibility(I may not like some aspects of his Batman movies, but I cannot deny that he´s the men that brought Batman from the dead, cinematically speaking) since Zack is still "the guy that made 300", and maybe his name can bring some of the his and his Batman fans over.

That being said, in one Superman movie you saw Supes becoming somekind of big brother and disposed of all nukes in the world,and in the other, it was actively discussed the necessity of Supes.
Could such situations have been better dealt then those movies did?Yes, but it´s no diferent from what I´m seeing, where he is surrendering himself to the world and seeking acceptance.


Honestly,realistic is a word that doesn´t really apply to Supes.Mister Pain said it all, they need to go for epic, and try to achive a good mix of drama and light-heartedness.

I remember saying that Reese was a significant loose end on TDK, but I can´t really see your point right now.

Some help?

Let me get this straight. You think that your employer, one of the richest men in the world, is spending his nights running around the city beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands? And your plan is to blackmail him? Good luck.

Good luck with that.

lol, I had just seen TDK again, and ziller's "good luck with that" stood out, i'm not sure if it was intentional or coincidental on ziller's part, but it was just waiting to be connected to TDK, which was kind of being discussed in here, so I couldn't help myself, sorry for confusing you :lol:

Well, atleast this one didn´t fuck up my eyes trying to watch it...


If there´s a thing that I´m digging is the poetry that they are trying to imbue into the mythos.
