Look, I'll admit: DC/Marvel and that whole world is not for me, but I grew up with Christopher Reeve's Superman, so this definitely is giving me those vibes, even though the CGI is a bit too much for me. David Corenswet feels right for the role to me, and I am actually semi-excited about this film's debut. It may just get me back into the comic universe of film. And I appreciate the trailer being in 4K!

Can't wait to see more of David and Rachel together.  Praying this is good because Superman has always been my #1 along with Batman.  Batman has been very successful while Superman has been crapped on for decades by critics and most people.  I personally loved Superman Returns and enjoyed Man Of Steel.

Toups I think Gunn nailed all of it! I saw Nathan Fillion in there as Green Lantern/Guy Garnder too!

and Krytpo OMG he's so cute! 

Nicholas is gonna be a perfect Lex, he's giving shades of Rosenbaum in the trailer

SUPERMAN IS BACK! The boy scout, nerdy awkward Clark is back in movies! The TV Shows got it right for decades, but the movies never could and it looks like they finally did!

Rachel and David's chemistry seems to be on point too!

It was largely DC/WB’s own fault as to why the Superman IP was devalued and the character lost relevance with a whole generation of consumers. Even in the comics, which no one buys anymore, a Batman title is almost always guaranteed to sell and top the sales charts, but Superman hasn’t had a successful comic run in like over a decade. That’s in contrast to Marvel where their marquee Spider-Man, X-Men, and Avengers titles remain consistent enough sellers and have never fallen as drastically. 

This is a start of a new cinematic universe for DC, a lot is riding on getting this right and not only resuscitating this character to masses, but their entire canon outside of Batman.

    • And her evolution was so subtly done. There was nothing like the depraved shows later on, like Game of Thrones, where they said a woman needed to be raped in order to find empowerment. The layers of Laura were what got me hooked on Knots, somewhere in the season 3 repeats. And I agree that her becoming a therapist would have made sense - look at how much her trauma over her mother drove her decisions early on.
    • I think that the problem with Laura was that she had grown to love herself and saw her value in both herself, her career, and her marriage.  She had this inner strength and confidence that Lynn/Bernard didn't know how to harness/write for because they were more interested in generating conflict amongst emotionally immature people. Karen/Mac and Gary/Val were all immature/stubborn to a fault even though they all had grown/evolved.  So the Latham's could key into their essence/history to generate the standard soap opera tropes and stories for them. Even the season 8 conflict with Laura's pregnancy and Greg not being cool with it didn't diminish Laura's fire and strength.  You saw how she was able to move on and live her life as a single mother because she'd already done that after Richard took off.   I saw her response to Greg's kissing Paige as 'that's my husband and I can't change him.. but once I find something better, I'll toss himself'.  She wasn't emotionally tied to him nor his money.. and I think that was partly why she was such a unique and interesting character in the nighttime soap world in the 80s.
    •   They actually had great chemistry to as friends in the scene I felt. A shame it was the first onscreen interaction. Looks better than Bill/Hayley’s house. I absolutely loved that! I feel the exact same way. This is just facts. Those scenes today between them were electric.
    • If The Real Housewives of Dubai is on hiatus/pause (a.k.a. done), then we need a way for Caroline Stanbury to come back to Ladies of London.
    • I hate quick snip scenes.  Such a tired hold-over from the 1980s.  And that nonsense does not belong on BTG.  Bring back the long scenes.  
    • Eva packing, thinking about how good the Richardson's house smells.

    • In light of yesterday's news...I figured it was okay to bump this up. And probably do a rewatch.

    • I don't really read spoilers, but Perry Shen seems to come and go so even if this is an "exit" it's probably not permanent.
