Jeans of Steel return

Oh hi new Man of Steel trailer.



Much better. This feels more like a Superman movie. I like the scope, going from a more intimate story with Clark as a kid discovering his powers and expanding out with big superhero stuff as he reveals himself as Superman. And I like that while it's ditched the Christopher Nolan "aesthetic" of dark realism, which wouldn't work for Superman, it's maintained the Nolan "tone" of portent and character focus. This trailer is actually reminding me thematically of Batman Begins, stripping the extraneous material and going back to basics with an iconic character to show why they are so iconic. And it doesn't use the BWAAAAMMMM!!!!!! noise. Good job Warner Bros.

But what's up with Pa Kent saying Clark should have let those kids on the bus die? That doesn't seem very Pa Kent-ish.
