That New Superman Trailer

I’m really looking forward to this. Look, I hate to pick at old wounds (I’m lying), but I’m still bothered by the fact that some executive saw Watchmen and said, “Wow, Zach Snyder is really good at making grim, dismal movies about dark heroes, we should totally give him… Superman!” It bugs me to death that if you watch the entire DECU from 2013-2023, Batman has more laugh-out-loud moments than Superman.

That. Should. Not. Be.

The new Superman movie doesn’t look like it takes itself seriously at all, and honestly that’s exactly what we need right now. It looks like everything the Justice League movie should have been. And there’s a dog.

I’m especially excited to see Nathan Fillion’s take on Guy Gardner. He was always one of those characters I loved to hate.

Unfortunately this is going to be a make-or-break movie for the new series. They already have several movies planned after this one, but if Superman bombs, that could spell disaster for all those plans.

I’m gonna stay optimistic, though. I can’t wait to see where this new cinematic universe takes us.
