Russell Crowe holding a doll, Michael Shannon in a ‘Gears of War’ commercial, Zack Snyders super fast then super slow bullshit; it’s all here thanks to the release of the the first full trailer for ‘Man of Steel’, which follows the tone set by the Dark Knight trilogy and Megamind and shows us a Superman unsure of his place in the world. Granted it’s a very beautiful world, one with a constant gentle breeze to make your hair and cape look cool.

Looks absolutely epic. I know people are mostly sarcastic pervs on this site, but the awesomeness of this trailer cannot be denied.
It is cool, but I still have major reservations. Zod has been done to death, so I don’t see how it’s going to be an interesting plot line. Either he’s going to trick the government into believing Supes is the bad guy, or he’s going to devastate the world until Supes agrees to surrender to authorities to spare it. The latter would at least be an interesting premise, but we’ll see.
At least it appears that they are going to take the action part of this seriously.
