    Totally agree about ZS, it just felt depressing. No way would Clark let his Dad die like that or stand there kissing Lois when people in Metropolis were dying in the rubble. Even sunny days were grey for some reason. BUT. Perfect casting and beautiful suit.

    I'm a lifelong Superman fan, and I'm stoked it seems like we're gonna get a movie that understands the character. I remember the feeling of my heart sinking when Snyder's version said the line "nobody stays good in this world."
    Love your take on Clark being an everyman who chooses to do good. I always say he shouldn't be a god, he should be a member of your community.

    Superman vs the Elite is my favorite story. It's even more amazing when you realize it was published in the spring 9f 2001, 6 months before 9/11.

    I loved My Adventures With Superman; it's very much its own little niche of "Superman, but anime," but it felt so much truer to Supes than the Snyderverse ever did. I didn't watch a lot of Superman & Lois, but I got the same vibe there. Just the "Nice cape! Thanks, my mom made it for me!" scene was top tier Supes. :)

    The reputation has already been saved if you look around a bit. Recently, Superman has come back into popularity and people understand him a lot better. This movie will capitalize on that pre-existing momentum, and fire it forward like a cannon. But it’s no necessary in and of itself for a Superman resurgence

    I mean, when they had the 'Zack Snyder Justice League in Black and White: Justice is Grey,' I thought it was a meme at first, but they actually did it, and you can see it on HBO.
    Superman should be blue and red and bright and bold, unapologetic and unironic.

    Regarding to colour grading I was actually disappointed that it still look too dull. It’s just a brighter version of the suicide squad and peacemaker teal grading. I was expecting a colour profile similar to that of 50s technicolor films, a modern example being Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, where both the warm and cool tones really pop. Here it seems a little too overdone on the cool tones, which doesn’t bring out the red cape enough (imo). I was also hoping for more warm sunlight considering supermans connection to it (take Raimis Spiderman for example). Objectively this is really good colour grading, I just think it lacks the kind of warmth you’d get from the character of Superman. We’ll just have to wait and see

    It's not Superman's rep that needs saving here. It's DC/Warners'
    As for Snyder's rep--lost cause. Gunn's is solid gold. He means to keep it that way. And that trailer looks damn good.
    Interesting he and Snyder worked together on the Dawn of the Dead remake--which I liked, not as much as the original. Pretty damn clear its success stemmed from the writing. Still the only Snyder film I like.

      They are not buddies. And I rarely see Gunn even mention Snyder. Since what's he gonna say? He obviously does not agree with the direction Snyder took the DCEU. And he's presiding over the DCEU's total dismantlement and replacement.
      It's about talent, vision, ability--and Gunn has more. That's all.

    I personally have never liked Superman, Zack Snyder's interpretation is what made me like the character, he honestly felt like badass for the first time to me.
    But unfortunately that's not who the Real Superman is, so I'm glad the DC/Superman fans are getting the OG Boyscout they fell in love with.
    While I won't see the film, I hope James Gunn meets everyone's expectations and the film is successful.
    I personally just hope Gunn doesn't direct Batman, I don't want this Bright Sunny Marvel vibe for Gotham or the Character.

    I'm nearly 50. I've been waiting for the ultra powerful superman for years and we'll never see that if they keep rebooting. I think Cavill could have taken that direction but studios have weird intentions. Reeves (both) encapsulate the hopeful, human quality for me. do like Man of Steel though.

      Well if he was the oldest teen age you could possibly be at 19 when man of steel came out he'd be 30 now. Being a teen doesn't mean 13 automatically and it was 11 years ago. Even if he was 17 he's closer to 30 than 20 by a whole 8 years.
