"Superman Trailer"

Its an unofficial fan made trailer, but it still uses footage from the film. It doesnt show a lot really, but its the most I've seen so far.

Nice that they'll be using the old theme music. It's pretty much in the back of everyone's mind when you mention Superman anyway, thanks to the original movies.

We shall wait and see what the finished film looks like though, but it's got a lot to live up to; 1st Superman Movie + Nostalgia + Christopher Reeve's legacy = difficult to top

After the success of using an unknown in the originals, and the problems they had this time trying to cast Superman (everyone from Nick Cage to Brendan Fraser was considered) it's no wonder they've gone with another unknown.

I'm still not convinced, but at least he looks different enough as Clark Kent compared to when he's Superman. I think someone already said it, but he's a bit short and a bit skinny if you ask me.

And Lois Lane looks crap, she's about 18 and while I wouldn't say no (after all, I'm a man) I hope she's a fantastic actress because there are a million better looking ones than her.

Off the top of my head, I wouldn't have a clue. Looking on imdb, I still don't have a clue. A relative unknown, whose credits include TV shows One Life to Live and MTV's Undressed, and one off appearances on Oliver Beene, Will & Grace, Cold Case and a couple of others I've not heard of.

Yeah, I got that. But what has he done before this?

Tom Welling refused the role, apparently, not wanting to be typecast as Clark Kent (which is ironic, as Smallville starts its fifth season soon).

Carpet bombing of brown people. Who own land with oil.

Check out Watchmen for a "superman" in the hands of the Yanks.

Ahaha!

If Superman is too truth justice and the American way, what do you expect from Captain America!
