As a kid The Blot was a huge Superman fan. But over the past ten years I’ve really fallen out of love with the character. There has been a huge mismanagement of the character by all parties involved, Warner Bros and DC Comics primarily. It makes me sad that we live in a world where Superman isn’t the biggest thing going (at least in the world of super heroes). He’s the living embodiment of truth, justice and the American way for goodness sake!
While I typically enjoy Zach Snyder films, I have no faith in Warner Bros that Man of Steel will be good, even with a pretty cool first trailer. I guess I just don’t understand why they took things in this direction with a Superman movie. I know the WB is trying to re-capture the look and feel of Nolan’s Batman trilogy, but shouldn’t a Superman film be all about bright colored costumes and action!?! Where’s a bright green Braniac or the Toyman? This movie better be good or we may never see another big budget DC Comics live action movie.
Man of Steel is scheduled to swoop into theaters on June 14, 2013.
