I am in. Completely willing to give Gunn's version a chance because of his history.

There are some things I like about the trailer but the costumes are bad. They look like they are straight out of a bad tv show verses epic movie. I am also getting a “silly” vibe off this trailer (like some of the silly from suicide squad 2) which doesn’t fit the vibe of Superman unless you are talking the cheesy Saturday morning cartoons.

The fact that Krypto is in this trailer/movie should be a dead giveaway of that...

There were different ways to handle Krypto. Man, if this wasn’t James Gunn and future trailers felt the same? I might be out. Hoping future ones give me a better vibe.

Yeah… if it was anyone but Gunn, I probably would have said the trailer looked awful.

I haven't really been looking forward to this. Dude doesn't really look the part.
But that trailer made me feel a certain sort of way. Then there was the moment,.... Krypto!!! OMG they made a movie with Krypto! He'll yeah!!!

So yeah. I'm in.

He better be an amazing actor because he looks like Superman after he has been shriveled up by Kryptonite right now.

Man he does not look the part at all.
Henry Cavill is 6'1, 200 lbs.

David Corenswet is 6'4, 177 lbs. Tallest to play Superman since Christopher Reeve himself.

It will be interesting to see how he does and how the switching between roles (Clark to Superman and back again) is handled.

I remember the first Man of Steel trailer and was so pumped. This doesn’t look as good. I know Cavill was a criticized choice but I liked him as Supes.
This. Cavill is my favorite by far since Reeves. The writing never did him justice.

Mine as well.
But I gotta say, Brandon Routhe has the look personified.
Was watching Legends of Tomorrow the other day and I kept thinking...that guy should play superman...turns out, he did.

Nathan Fillon as Guy Gardener aka the Green Lantern with Hawk Girl in the back. Super cheese.
