Loved that end shot with Superman, WW and Batman!

Love the trailer!! I still feel like JE is playing the Joker not Lex though

This film looks like a mess from top to bottom.

Precious darlings  I guess it all turned out well after all.

Jesse Eisenberg was initially offered a totally different part in the movie, but they won't say which. Chances are, Jimmy Olsen. When he didn't want it, they asked him to be Lex. OK. I do agree with him, though -- unless the movie is playing and we see his interpretation, there is no room for genuine criticism.

[dragonflies]

I agree BUT when you see a preview of him as Lex you shouldn't think "OMG he's playing The Joker instead of Lex" even previews can give you a feel of what the interpretation of the  character will be at least somewhat.

Snyder defends his version of Superman. Personally, I'm beyond tired of the bitching about the end of MAN OF STEEL etc but that's just me!

Not feeling it.  This unsmiling, glum Superman does nothing for me.   I know the director is pretending this is the true Superman but he is lying.   They just have this bizarrro vision that all the characters should pretend they are Batman, and find color scheme costumes to match.    Wonder Woman is in line with this thinking, and of course Wonder Woman will basically be Batwoman.  

 

The Atlantic recently published an essay on Superman.

Great trailer! Loved the end.  I'm going to rewatch MOS soon to prepare for this new movie.

I can't really say much more right now, but this is [!@#$%^&*] awful. It's really bad. They used literally everything good they have in the trailer. Affleck, Adams, and Irons are good. Cavill is painfully bad this time around. Eisenberg and the girl playing Wonder Woman are horrendous.

This has been the case for many years now. Superman was supposed to represent the best of America, while Batman represented the darkest elements. As America became more introspective, and then increasingly self-loathing and shallow and "edgy" (late '60s turning to '70s turning to '80s to '90s and so on), Superman became a nonfactor or a hybrid (compare the '50s TV Superman, which was very much about him, with Lois & Clark, which was about the group and the love story of Lois & Clark, or Smallville, which was actively terrified of Clark ever actually becoming Superman - even in the last shot they wouldn't really show him in costume). It's funny, because I thought that Marvel might have the same problem with Steve Rogers, but they never really did, somehow.
