    Knowing the team behind the project, it may be unnecessarily dark. Dark and bad are not mutually exclusive, especially regarding Superman. I hope it will be good.

    I have very high hopes for the movie. Same script writers and musicians as the Batman trilogy, Snyder on visuals and directing and a cast out of which I have yet to see a name I don't like. On paper, it's an excellent movie.  

    And let's hope so. Supes deserves a good one.

    Superman isn't a dark, gritty character but they can put him in some dark, gritty situations, which is fine. As long as Superman himself flies up toward the Sun at some point and smiles at the end, it's a good day. He needs to keep his hope high in the dark situations that he will be presented with.
     
    I've heard this fear voiced a few times, that Nolan made a couple of great, dark Batman movies, but that movie wouldn't work for Supes. I have faith in Nolan and think he was simply doing right by Batman's character and would do the same for Superman. But that's just me.

    @Kal'smahboi: Nolan is a great director, its just that his movies always seem to end on a bit of a pessimistic note and one of the things I've always loved about Superman is that no matter what the situation is Supes always hopes for the best.

    @joshmightbe: That's fair enough and I understand people's reservations about it but if you want to talk about consistency, Nolan also hasn't made a movie I didn't like or done something wildly out of character. Maybe it's my Superman-like optimism, but I really expect a good movie that's true in tone and characterization.

    The only thing that really worries me about Snyder is his propensity toward idealized and dramatized backgrounds. He loves his CGI backgrounds and it comes off as fake sometimes. Snyder is great at action and graphics and he really doesn't need to worry about directing the actors because the film has an all-star (and highly acclaimed) cast, including at least one Shakespearean actor. Non of these people need much direction. Superman is a huge undertaking, but I think the pieces were put in place well.

    @joshmightbe: Ya know, half of me says that, too, and would like to at least hear an Easter Egg or have a short bit of music derived from Williams' piece, but the other half would like to see a new Superman movie made from scratch without tribute or homage to the Donner movies.

    I hope so to be honest in the past I thought Superman was lame probably by the movie superman returns (that was when I was not yet in comics) but I conclude that this isn't fair to the character so I'm going to buy the Action comics trade when it comes out. And an awesome movie should work.

    no...I haven't seen anything from the movie that's made me thing otherwise either...maybe the trailer will do it but at this point I'm seriously doubting it....Superman is one of the greatest characters ever created and it really upsets me that some writers think that the only way to writer a good Superman story is by changing everything about him

    change everything = underwear to no underwear?

    Until now, no one knows exactly what is going on in the movie, I'm pretty sure it will stay true to the character, the supporting characters in the movie has stayed the same and description about him still looks similar. Except that he stopped wear underwear on the outside, which you expressed you didn't like it. Perhaps you have snippets of news that you know writers changed everything about him, do share.

    Other than that, I think he is still the kal we love.
