Ooooh... it's all dark and edgy. Nobody does that these days.

Reminds me of the "golden age" Superman sigil.

Then again, how many ways are there to put an 'S' inside a lop-sided pentagon?

I don't like how they got rid of the red underpants. Just doesn't look right without them. lol

I'm fine with them tossing the red underwear, but of the set photos of the costume, I'd really wish they would have slapped on a belt to break up the top from the bottom and so we don't have the unitard look.

I agree. Even the "New 52" look kept the belt.

Haven't been keeping up with Man of Steel news for a while.

Nice that they got rid of the red briefs. New suit looks good; like everyone else, I agree that it needs a belt.

Wonder who the suit with the female proportions belongs to.

Faora.

Thanks for the info.

This Antje Traue chick who plays the character looks more like a tough chick heroinne than a villain, to be honest. Not cold enough. But that's just judging from one picture. Will have to wait for the movie to see if she manages to pull off a decent performance as a Kryptonian serial killer. That is, if Goyer follows (according to wikipedia) the character's original biography from Action Comics #471.

That said, and this is probably nostalgia talking, but I find Ursa from the Donner movies and more effective representation of source character.

Now that's the face of a beautiful, cold-hearted serial killer outer-fcuking-space.

Had a little Supes marathon yesterday. Saw I, II (Donner Edition), and Returns....I had completely forgotten Donner's ending in II was Superman flying fast around Earth to make time move backwards, AGAIN?!

I'll have to admit that was pretty cheesy. Basically he can reboot whenever he wants to make things right. Oh! I sneezed on Louis' skirt, brb need to fly fast and change the space-time continuum. <_<

Found a site that had the trailer for viewing...sadly its already been removed. It premieres with Batman this week. Here is an early synopsis of what was revealed:

We see flashes of Smallville. The farm house. Clark running in a red cape as a child.

This looks VERY different from Superman films of the past

An older, bearded Clark walks a snowy road in an arctic town.

We hear Russell Crowe’s voice talking about children being inspired to greater things

It sounds like it’s cut with Kevin Costner’s voice. Both fathers are giving Clark/Kal advice on how to become who he wants to be

We see Clark being brought to the Kent barn and shown the spaceship that has been hidden there

Clark holds a small piece of metal with the S logo on the end

We’re jumping back and forth through time periods

Clark, as a teen, saved a bus of kids

The bus crashed in the water and we see him swimming, pulling the door off

“People are afraid of what they don’t understand,” says Costner

We see Clark talking to Jor-El. They’re standing right in front of one another, but I think it’s a holographic projection (though it looks live)

We see Superman in the suit. First from a distance and then walking across a snowy plain

There are flashing of Superman flying and one of him catching someone falling off a building

A single flash of Amy Adams’ Lois Lane

One flash has Superman (in costume) — seemingly in handcuffs — being led down a hallway by a security force

We see Clark (without seeing his face) stepping into an elevator and begin to lift glasses to his face

There’s a flash of Clark, shirtless, with his whole body on fire

Another of him crashing into the bank vault we saw in the first still. It looks like he’s been thrown.

I’m not great at describing music, but it’s decidedly more somber than Williams’s score.

The whole look of it has a very dark, autumny feel to it all.

There’s a major discussion in the narration about the world turning against Superman because they don’t trust him if he ever appears.

There’s a flash of Zod, but literally so fast you just see his face.

Apparently someone witnessed young Clark as a child saving the bus with his powers.

None of the trademark Snyder shots in the trailer. No slo-mo or shuttery frames

Saw the longer of the two during my screening of DKR, and was strangely irritated that they used music from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Not sure why, but it just bothered me.

Besides that I was kind of underwhelmed, teasers are supposed to do a better job of making you want more, this one just kind of made me ask "when the hell was Superman a fisherman?".

Very true, been the standard for awhile now. But that particular trailer with that particular music just irked me. No rhyme or reason to it. Hopefully they come out with a better teaser or trailer soon.

Have you seen some of these teaser trailers these days? The Dark Knight's teaser trailer only had voice-overs and logos. The Amazing Spider-man's teaser just showed him running on a roof till a building showed a reflection. This is on par to what other teasers have put out.
