I get that it’s cool to shit on superhero movies these days, but man I hope this is good. I am a DC fan and the Snyder movies never did it for me.
The thing that this teaser has, that I needed, was seeing superman being good. When he saved the girl, I realized how much I’ve missed that from all of the Snyder movies. Superman is supposed to be an ideal. Having Clark not save his own father was as dumb as when they made Steve Rogers a Nazi in the comics. It betrays what the character means down at their core, and I don’t think we learned anything else in the exercise.
Jesus…
Krypto…
Hawkgirl…
Guy Gardner…
Mister Terriffic…
Metamorpho…
Stagg Industries…
This should be huge!
Theres so much going on that it feels like a TV series with a bunch of episodes rather than a movie. I hope they didnt cram so much into one movie that it all gets lost.
On the other hand, hopefully it means theyre skipping the whole “origin story” bull that every hero movie reboot seems to try to do.
Thank you for naming them. Lol I didn’t know who they were. Except Krypto.
For my money, the best Krypto story was one of his modern origins… Jor El zapped him into the Phantom Zone and he’s always present for Clark, this invisble ghost dog. Until Supes breaks him out…
Action Comics #13 - Grant Morrison
This looks pretty silly, but then, I suppose when you think about it, Superman is kind of silly. Might as well lean into it. I’ve seen the serious, melodramatic superman and I really didn’t care for it. Maybe this will work better. Then again, maybe it won’t. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
if only for the dog, i want to see this
Movie idea: Reverse John Wick. Intergang somehow returns and kills Superman. Krypto goes on a killing spree avenging his best friend.

It worked for me. It suggests that they are really learning into the comic book-ness
