    I just hope this is the beginning of a gigantic marketing campaign for the movie.

    So their big marketing campaign is to show nothing related to the movie for hours on end?

    @zeejaybay: Glad someone else sees it. Also, it seems that this campaign is only appearing on the same website that hasn't had any real changes for months. No one will see this that isn't already planning on seeing the movie.

    @z3ro180: Zero, that's absolutely inspired. No wonder they didn't think of that.

    @smashbrawler: Is that what happened last time? Ugh, why isn't this everywhere? Man of Steel ads should be everywhere. That's the only way this will be successful.

    @kal_smahboi: Yeah, we had to decode some messages just like now. They turned out to be kryptonian numbers and then a countdown appeared in the movie's page which eventually lead us to that famous Trailer we all saw.

    If you wanna watch some poor guys fanboying the hell out of themselves because of a countdown, I recommend reading this thread:

    http://www.comicvine.com/forums/off-topic-5/deep-space-radio-wave-project-733929/

    Our reactions may seem over the top, but we were staring at that countdown for like what seemed (and probably were) hours :P

    @smashbrawler: That's hilarious. I skimmed the comments in the thread. There was a lot of crying, apparently.

    I'm starting to think that instead of a countdown, there's going to be a lot of staring at static before the trailer tomorrow. I know I've done my fair share of static staring, already.

    @kal_smahboi: Man, just imagine if it were a screamer. If that happened I would laugh for hours. Then I would form the Warner Bros. Revenge Squad and blow up their headquarters.

    So we can definitely see Zod's shield in the static, right?

    And, @z3ro180, I'm not getting notified whenever you mention me. You're doing something wrong ;)

    From Twitter:

    SOURCE

    It's a bunch of Kryptonian numbers: 168.161.242.137

    Put them in your address bar, press enter and you'll be quickly redirected to a site named www.iwillfindhim.com, which in turn quickly redirects you to warnerbros.com.

    So the static is really clear now. Looks like it's definitely the seal of the House of Zod:

    Loved the trailer, know when to tease and not waste good shots from the movie.
