The trailer is showing us more of the story, something to do with Clark Kent saving a school bus or something and possibly (too much) displaying his powers. There we also hear the dialogue that shocked a lot of people, when Clark asks "What was I supposed to do, just let them die?" and Jonathan Kent replying "Maybe." I believe that this is just editing and that Jonathan Kent wasn't really meaning that and that the studios are just messing with fan's heads like they usually do, so no worries. Later on, we see the full scene of Superman from the teaser trailer in his full awesome cape torpeding himself from the ground. As a first glance, Henry Cavill as Superman doesn't look as bad-ass as in the posters, but you can't really judge much from one shot, as you are blown away just the next second when he takes off and breaks the sound barrier. We also get a brief shot of Michael Shannon as General Zod and a bunch of epic action scenes towards the end. It really gives a good impression of a Superman movie, directed by Zack Snyder, especially these shots:
It's just completely clear now, that this will be an visually amazing movie, as all Zack Snyder movies are. If you add Nolan's story, The Dark Knight trilogy's co-writer's screenplay, a promising cast and Hans Zimmer scoring it, this really looks like a great film. By The Dark Knight trilogy's co-writer, I mean David S. Goyer, who I simply cannot name otherwise then this to make everyone know him. Calling him the writer of Ghost Rider woudn't be very effective, now would it? So anyways, the trailer looks great, you got great visuals, great music, an interesting story containing General Zod, Clark Kent looking for himself and Superman in handcuffs, but there is one thing that bugs me about it, and it's not really a bug about the trailer, but about the whole movie: Justice League. With the Justice League movie officially coming in 2015, I am genuinely worried this could be a springboard for it. Before any nerds try to bash me, allow me to explain.
I am a big fan of Nolan's Batman trilogy, as said and am really interested in seeing a darker, more serious reboot of Superman. But I've never actually read any comics, so I'm not really interested in seeing a Justice League movie. I might have been a few years ago, but after seeing the trilogy wrap up, I just want it so much to stay the same and alone. I also want this to be a completely alone franchise, as it would simply ruin the tone and the seriousness of the films. I know a lot of people would want to see Justice League, but honestly - can you imagine dark and serious Justice League movie? No, no you can't, and it tying in with Man Of Steel and maybe even The Dark Knight Rises, just ruins all the realism and movie quality, with DC Comics waiting for a possible JL movie for another couple of years, would prove them very much more mature and true to the nature of cinematography in comparation with Marvel, but now they kinda blew the chance. I am sorry hardcore comic fans, but that is just how I see it. Now without my personal touch, I believe that this will indeed be a springboard for Justice League. As noted, I hope it won't.
Is it just me or is that The Bat?
So what do you think of the Man Of Steel second trailer? Do you like the tone it's showcasing? What do you think of Henry Cavill as Clark Kent / Superman? Do you think it will lead to Justice League? Check the trailer out here, comment below, let me know!
Yeah, 300 has a lot of greenscreen, but the action sequences in all of his movies are amazing, these kind of hyper-realistic and really beautifully filmed. This trailer just confirms it, can't wait for it as well.
