All I can say is, it's pretty sad when a movie starring ANT-MAN looks better than a movie starring SUPERMAN and BATMAN.

Man...it's what I expected, but i was hoping...HOPING...they'd get the memo and lighten things up a bit. If anything, this looks darker than MoS or the Nolan trilogy.
Say what you want about Superman Returns, but when he saved the plane, and everyone cheered, it made you feel good. I don't go to super hero films to be depressed. Sheesh.
I'm hoping there's more to this film than angst, but this just confirmed a lot of my fears on this project.

Wow. Just. Wow. That's sad. Makes me want to cradle my Batman 66 box set in my arms.
What little kid would be inspired to want to be a Superhero if the whole world hates you for it?
We've gone from Chris Reeve's "A Friend" to this.
And yet, We'll all go see it. Lament it. Dissect it. Buy the blu-ray for $6 on Black Friday, watch it, and then put it on the shelf.Comment

...and that was a huge plus for me. It's a direct attempt to deal with the weight of the idea for the plot, as a contrast to how Marvel uses it as plot-points to further the adventure.
The color palette is Injustice and the Arkham games, even more than I expected. I gotta respect Affleck for burying himself in the character. He must have realized during previz his celebrity recognition was just bursting through.Comment

Superman was always meant to inspire and bring out the best in us. This depiction shows him bringing out the worst in us... Fear. Hatred. Intolerance. That is just WRONG and not a message I want to see.Comment

^I agree...based on this trailer. If...and this is a big IF...they start out like this, but then, Superman convinces the world of his intention is hailed the hero at the end...then I may be able to swallow this. If not, then it is just a completely wrong-headed direction to go with these fantasy characters, in a huge big-budget motion picture. A one-off comic mini-series, fine. But not as THE definitive film meeting of these characters.

Does the DC universe always seem to only have night or overcast days?

I couldn't even get through the whole trailer! Superman and Batman have always made me wanna stand up and cheer, not run away and hide. I wouldn't even watch this one if it came on TV."Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."Comment

Ang Lee's Hulk taught Marvel everything they needed to know about overthinking the concept. Showcase the heroes and weave plot points that touch on their history. These are comic books, not War and Peace. These films should be a rollercoaster ride inserted with capable character development and plot detail to create memorable and engaging stories that make you want to see them again and again. If we can't celebrate the foundation of why they're heroes and enjoy the pageantry of that fundamental experience, then it ceases to have the appeal it's audience seeks and becomes a misguided piece of fiction trying to validate itself. I have an expectation for the next Avengers film, not based on a formula, but on a belief the director is not ashamed of the story's roots in comic books and will embrace those ideas. Snyder has been quite vocal about shunning the fans and creating his own vision whether it touches on comic book lore or his own ideas. I find that pretentious and a big roll of the dice.Comment

Still on my self imposed "no trailers" schtick. I don't want to bombard myself and obsess about all the preproduction details for two years as films are made. Worked for me for Winter Soldier.
That being said however I could not resist and saw a tiny photo of Afleck's head in the very accurate Dark Knight Returns' Anti-Superman armour. So I am expecting Man of Steel mixed with Miller's classic story's darkness.
