Trailer made it look a gazillion times better than the horrible remake they did a few years back. It'd be hard pressed to reach Batman Begins level of good, but feels much closer to that than to cheesy remake.

It wasn't a remake. It was a sequel to I and II, throwing II and IV out. This is a remake/reboot.

They're only related by blood. I mean, who could resist this?

Yes, but he's always had....mixed feelings for the girl

And check out #6 on this list

#6. Superman Drops His Cousin in an Orphanage, Makes Out With Her

Supergirl is Superman's teenage cousin who, by a staggering coincidence, also survived Krypton's explosion and arrived on Earth, because comics. When Supergirl first appeared in 1959, Superman decided she wasn't allowed to make her presence known to anyone until she had been properly trained in using her powers.

So where did she live in the meantime? Clark Kent's cozy apartment? Superman's giant, mostly empty Fortress of Solitude? Nope:

"I was raised by a set of loving parents, but I hear these are fun, too."

So wait, this young girl had just gone through a horribly traumatic experience (having watched everyone she knew slowly die from Kryptonite poisoning), and Superman's way of helping her deal with that is to ... abandon her in an orphanage and forbid her from making human contact? And this wasn't just for one story -- she stayed there for years. She only once disobeyed and revealed herself to, um, Superman's flying dog, and Superman punished her by exiling her to a remote asteroid.

"Of course I get off on this, Krypto. Why else would Superman do such terrible things?"

This, of course, turned out to be part of some r****ded scheme that Superman could have easily carried out without necessarily stranding Supergirl in outer space. This sort of thing happened a lot: Another time, Superman forced her to pretend to be his wife from another dimension, "Mighty Maid" ...

The crossing she refers to is dangerous because it usually results in deformed babies.

... and, yes, this plan involved making out with his underage cousin:

Lois was way too old for him anyway.

After becoming engaged to "Mighty Maid," Superman announces that he will be leaving our dimension forever to live in hers. Eventually we find out that Superman had made Supergirl pretend to be his wife to fool some aliens into thinking that Superman was leaving our dimension. We have, like, six different ways to accomplish this goal off the top of our heads, and not one of our schemes would force our underage cousins into making out with us. None of our schemes have that. (It's why we'll never be Superman.)

When the aliens are no longer a problem, Superman explains away the situation to Lois by admitting to be an accidental pedophile, and everything is back to normal.

"Now let's go to the movies," Lois said, as she casually fell off another building.

That's legal, and even acceptable, in a lot of places. Doesn't make it any less weird though.

Exclusive: Early screenings scoop of Man of Steel reveal more about the tone, action, and Superman "kicking all kinds of ass"

Feb. 27, 2013
by: Paul Shirey

With its release four months away, the anticipation for Warner Bros. Superman reboot, MAN OF STEEL, has built momentum faster than a speeding bullet. The first two trailers teased us at the potential of a Superman film that would finally live up to the title of "MAN OF STEEL." However, they've also been a bit dark and light on action, which has led some to believe we may see a retread of SUPERMAN RETURNS, rather than the smash-up superhero tale that the The Last Son of Krypton deserves. The darker tone has also suggested that Christopher Nolan may have injected too much "Dark Knight" influence over the film.

Well, according to our source, your fears may well finally be put to rest.

A scooper (whom we know and trust 100%) has sent us reactions to early screenings of the film happening at WB, addressing many of the common concerns that we've all had from the beginning. Here's his bullet points from the screening(s):

- Imagine a Nolan story with Snyder effects/action.
- It's the best movie of the year.
- There's TONS of action with Superman kicking all kinds of ass in his suit.
- The cape is CG'd most of the time so it can look awesome.
- They have intentionally left out most of the the Super action in trailers to save it.
- It's not nearly as dour and serious as the trailers suggest.
- The movie is complete, minus the 3D post-conversion, which is currently taking place

So, to summarize...awesome! Now, it's a bold claim to call it the "best movie of the year," especially this early on, but everything else is golden. To me, having tons of action was the biggest requirement, because we haven't really seen Big Blue do some serious damage since the 1970's and that's with some seriously antiquated effects. The CGI cape hasn't really been a secret and we can see as much in the trailers already. Personally, I'm totally down with it and have no qualms.

The other thing brought up is the tone, which really sails on the dramatic in the latest trailer, suggesting that the film may be another THE DARK KNIGHT, but I'm happy to hear that it's not a completely melancholy affair. However, he does suggest that it lives within the Nolan-verse, but with Zack Snyder's signature style. And that's just fine. If Snyder can do anything, it's action with style, so no complaints here.

Naturally, this is one person's opinion on the film, but it certainly paints a beautiful picture and assuages my own fears about having to sit through a two hour movie to watch Superman throw a rock into space and stalk his girlfriend. I look forward to hearing more information, naturally, and to get a broader scope of reactions, but this is a good development. Certainly, the new trailer, which is set to debut in April, will be telling and likely drive the excitement into the red. Fingers crossed for this one to pack a serious punch.

hype rising

J Sizzle · Feb 28, 2013

I'm excited. I don't expect it to be on the Dark Knight's level, but it looks like it'll be much better than most of the Superman movies.

I can hardly contain my inner geek

Blurr#7 · Feb 28, 2013

Meh, Michael Shannon voice is disappointing. Kneel before Terence Stamp!! At least the marketing teams are out and about now. Trailer should be any day now.
