Man of steel

[Seshmeister]

I've never been a big superman fan, he always seemed a bit cheesy to me plus he's too powerful.

Anyhow it looks like it's going to be the big summer film so we should have a thread.

Blockbuster trailers and features are getting longer and longer and this is no exception...

Never been a big superman fan either , he is to goody two shoes.
The best comic heroes to me are interesting because they have flaws.
Though if I remember right I did love the original couple of movies , the second one where he lost his powers in particular.

The trailer I had seen had the pre requisite spectacular effects in it but the best bit was the Russell Crowe voice over , he had that cool Morgan freeman thing going on.

I wonder why I feel like hitting the gym, after seeing that?

[Zing!]

Zing will be seeing this multiple times! Love the man of steel - such a great mythos, plus Chris Nolan producing - this is the summer movie event for me.

Damn! Can't wait for this one!

Not sure I like where they have taken this, but then again, how many times can you make the same movie?

Glad to see the dude from Boardwalk Empire in it. He is good.

Superman does Deadliest Catch?

Why the fuck is a Limey playing Superman? Oh shit, was that racist? Will I offend all the politically correct fucks?

[DLR Bridge]

Not a Superman guy either, but it sure looks like they finally got things right with him. They even ditched the red speedo over the tights.

That didn't sound right.

Why the fuck is a Limey playing Superman?

There was no one from Krypton available?

[vandeleur]

Why the fuck is Lemmy playing Superman? :

The question is why the fuck not !

Oh yeah fucking racist

[Von Halen]

By the way, are there any black super heroes? Besides Fat Albert? And JHale?

[ELVIS]

There's Crackman...

[DONNIEP]

[vandeleur]

Blade ? Not sure if he counts

[THEDOCTOR]

This movie should be really good. I know the story they used as a basis ,and it's a bit darker than the normal Superman take.I mean if there was a guy that could do what he can,would the Government embrace him and give him free reign to operate ,or would they be very afraid that at some point he's going to just take over,and therefore very much try and figure out how they can contain and control him ....
As far as black superheroes,sure there's plenty...Black Lightning,Cyborg,John Stewart Green lantern,Goliath,Blade,The Falcon,Nick Fury(Ultimate Universe),Black Panther,Luke Cage,Deathlok....and those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head....

Looks like this is going to be pretty interesting. I like that he's conflicted in this version, agree with those who said the character is usually too goody two-shoes - always was too much so for my liking, that and the "he's too powerful" angle.

The Limeys are probably asking the same thing about Robert Downey, jr. in the deerstalker cap.
