Looks good, you can definitely see James Gunn’s style of film making which isn’t my favourite but I’m still hopeful

Story looks good, but I hate this song? It's like the trailer was edited in 2001 movie maker.
The song is crap but it's given so much weight in this trailer like we're supposed to like this song? Maybe you guys recognize it as a Superman theme so maybe it has an association for you, but for me I've not heard this song before so it just sounds like loud noise.
David Corenswet seems like a bad actor in this trailer.
I like the Godzilla though. Great special effects on that fireball spit.
Don't really like the cinematography.

This? They took away Zack and gave us this? A dog in a cape? sure, I love comic books, but I was hoping the movies would be... I dunno... not campy. It is too bright, the suit makes him look like a Temu Cobra Commander, and Guy Gardner... what the heck is up with his hair? I'll watch it, because my religion demands it, but I am going to hate it.

Feels like it's gonna be 4 hours long or not focus on any plot long enough for anything to matter. Looks like an awesome trailer for a superman tv show, but I don't know how it'll do as a movie.

u/thequehagan5 Dec 20 '24
i expected to be disappointed, and was still disappointed
Krypto looks ridiculous
David Corenswet is very subpar compared to Cavill
The new suit looks stupid
The world looks fake and plastic
Lois lane looks well cast though.
Overall looks look another cheesy joke filled james gunn movie. He is the wrong director for superman.

My God. Yes it's got modern dark and contrasty visuals but there's also PRIMARY COLORS in this thing. Good GOD the suit looks good when the red, blue and yellow aren't muted. And it makes the battle damage actually stand out.
This feels like a fully fleshed out world we are meeting in media res, instead of doing a "let's start from the beginning" sort of thing.
Plus, Racheal looks absolutely spot on as Lois without saying a damn word.

I don't know how many times I'll watch this trailer. It will probably be a lot. That's it though. I'm not going to watch any others if they release them.
The Batman was just about ruined by it's final trailers showing just about all the cool parts of the film minus Batman fighting his way through the nightclub.
I don't know shit about this movie other than it looks like it's going to be amazing. Going to skip any future trailers for this. I don't want to know one more thing about this movie before I see it.

u/Amazing-Pangolin3230 Dec 19 '24
Krypto in his little red cape made me ridiculously happy. And I despite how much people associate him with the zany silver age on some level Superman having a dog just works. He seems like the kind of guy that would have a dog.
But honestly the teaser struck the perfect balance of show casing the different parts of the film (Clark and Superman, Lois, Daily Planet, Lex and LexCorp, Mr Terrific, etc) and not giving too much away in terms of the actual plot.
We ultimately won't know until the film comes out but I'm hyped.

u/DoctorBeatMaker Dec 19 '24
Very Nice!
The one thing I asked for this trailer to show is the tone and it felt right to me.
It looks like Superman is who he is, but is in a world that rejects his idealism. I really hope that this is part of the plot where people don't trust Superman because they don't believe anyone can be morally sound like that until he proves them wrong.
•
u/paintpast Dec 19 '24
I hope it's more like Birthright where Lex is pulling the strings to make Superman look like a bad guy somehow. Superman is frustrated that he can't just make people see the truth, but other heroes like Guy know it's BS.
I guess BvS did something like that, too, but there was no one on Superman's side in that one.

Trailer looks amazing as expected, Gunn always deliver! And one thing you gotta love about Gunn, he brings characters to the big screen that other directors won't dare to use like Krypto and Mister Terrific. This is going to be a awesome universe. Can't wait to see what he'll do with the Lanterns, Batman, Aquaman, Flash and all the other DC characters that we love!

A few things I noticed.
- 0:42 - The headline behind Lois says "Towns flooded following extreme weather".
- 1:30 - Someone is on top of the bridge connecting the two towers of LuthorCorp. Too small to see who it is exactly, but doesn't look like Luthor. Edit: Seeing a couple of posts saying it's the Engineer.
- 1:33 - The "cell" Superman punches out of looks like the same area Lex is in starting at 1:31. Curious who the people are in the other cells.
- 1:43 - Hawkgirl is walking with Guy Gardner into Stagg Industries. If you go frame-by-frame here, you can also see Mister Terrific walking in as well. However, I don't see Hawkgirl and Terrific in the same frame.
- 1:45 - The building that Hawkgirl is flying towards looks to be the same or similar building to the one in the background of the next shot with the kaiju-like creature.
Edit: Interestingly, no title art in the trailer.

u/arnathor Dec 19 '24
I feel that I might be in the minority here but I was distinctly underwhelmed by that trailer. I’ve been a bit cool towards this film anyway, mainly based on a weirdly negative reaction I’ve had to the use of the Kingdom Come shield as his chest logo. I guess I’m not overly enamoured of Gunn either, I didn’t really rate GotG 2 and 3 (although the first is one of my all time favourite films). From the rota of distinctly d-list superheroes (with the exception of Guy Gardner who has always been a favourite of mine) to the overly saturated palette to the rubbish guitar version of the Superman March from the god-like original film, nothing about this trailer connected positively with me, and a lot of it felt quite negative.
I hope the full trailer actually feels more like its own thing rather a fan film.
•
u/PM_Me_Punny_Jokes_05 Dec 19 '24
ooof thank you. I just watched the trailer and then came to this thread and thought I was taking crazy pills. Been a Superman fan my entire life and this looks meh. Also Corenswet at Superman was always suspect, but he doesn't look right in the suit or as Clark. I hope I'm wrong and he pulls it off, but from what I just saw in the trailer...big miss. I really hope my first impression is wrong and the movie ends up being amazing, but I'm cautiously optimistic at best, at this point.
•
•
u/Severe_Development96 Dec 19 '24
I think my favorite part of this trailer is that there is only one real action scene of him doing something superhero-y and is it him facing off with the justice league? Punching out a kaiju? Having an angsty fistfight with zod? No, it's him using his own body to protect a little girl from danger. THAT'S WHAT SUPERMAN IS ABOUT!!!!!! This trailer feels like the comic book superman and no one has managed to capture that feel since Christopher Reeves. I also absolutely love that almost half the trailer was dedicated to Clark Kent instead of superman. That's just proof James Gunn understands the character. I really hope the movie does some version of Lois and Clarks "My night with superman" arc to show how they get together. I really loved that in the books.
Also Krypto was absolutely adorable and sweet and the fact he's in the movie just makes me love it more

u/sklmw2018 Dec 20 '24
I don’t get what everyone else sees in this trailer.
Admittedly, I’m not a huge Superman fan, but this did nothing for me. The wide angles and colors are not appealing and give me flashbacks of Wonder Woman 84 or The Suicide Squad. I know many people liked the latter, but it was a crap movie in my opinion. My biggest fear before and after watching the trailer is that Gunn would simply take the look of Guardians and try to apply it to Superman.
I will reserve judgement until I see the movie, but I’d be shocked if this does well in theaters.

I thought the trailer was good, but the style felt overly clean and a bit too colorful for my taste. The underwear looks outdated, and the use of the John Williams theme didn’t feel necessary for this new take on the character. Despite my criticisms, I’m looking forward to the film and hope it delivers. The trailer is good, even though it didn’t evoke the same emotions in me as the Man of Steel teaser did back then.

Krypto, that’s the only thing that perked my interests. Coming from reeves era, this trailer had some memories of reeves. Now, I wish they would push forward DC in the next era and stop the reboots, which I thought this was, noticing other supes was intriguing.

Looks dumb! Henry Cavill is the best super bad ever! Christopher Reeves was very good, but I watched the original show as well and every generation with technology has a different timeline and story.
Supermn been around for since 1952. James Gunn introduces himself in the trailer and says from guardians of the Galaxy! Cheesy and you dont need to cameo the movie or the director to beef it up.
I think the choice of removing Cavill will be bad and it looks bad. Henry Cavill is the man and we shall see. I will definitely go see in the movies but this actor remind me of the other guy who did superman

u/endeternalentropy Dec 31 '24
I find this disappointing. superman is a character that does not need that many supporting heroes with him. For a movie that is opening a new era of the DCU it already seems crowded. Superman is a character that already needs a lot of screen time because it's split between Superman and Clark where both need screen time and character development. All the other heroes and the dog are nice to see but not necessarily in the first movie. If anything all these heroes can have a movie of their own together with Superman, and I think it would've still looked good. Also, Lex will need an arc and his character will need to grow and for us to think why it makes sense for him to hate superman( hopefully it's not because he made his hair fall off). I hope I am wrong as I am really looking to enjoy a DC project, but the abundance of character coupled with all these creative choices (such as the suit) is not looking great.

u/LowerStranger2996 Dec 19 '24
There’s this thing about superhero movies—let’s call it the “Everest Syndrome”—that every single one of them has to justify its own existence by aiming for the summit of whatever is currently considered the pinnacle of the genre. The culmination, the apex, the What Now? They have to be grittier than Nolan, snappier than Whedon, or more kaleidoscopically anarchic than Waititi. Which is to say, the cultural air around superhero films has become dense with the over-calibrated anxiety of influence. Enter James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy, not just a movie, but (if early murmurs and its relentless marketing can be trusted) the antidote to America’s cultural and political entropy. By some sleight of hand or creative witchcraft, it seems poised to redefine the cinematic language of capes and cowls and maybe—and this is where the argument gets truly bananas—help heal an America currently gnawing on its own ideological extremities.
At the center of this madcap endeavor is the casting and narrative inclusion of Metamorpho, a DC Comics character whose whole deal is that he’s a human-ELEMENTAL mixologist. Metamorpho is both deeply obscure and wildly flamboyant—he’s the guy who turns his arm into neon plutonium for laughs. It’s a baffling choice, really, except when you realize it’s brilliant. The inclusion of a character like Metamorpho signals Gunn’s willingness to discard the faux gravitas and joyless realism that have burdened the genre since Man of Steel (2013). What Metamorpho does is remind us that superheroes are inherently weird, fun, and ridiculous. That their original appeal lay in their ability to embody both archetype and absurdity without apology. In doing so, Superman: Legacy acts as a cinematic oxygen mask, clearing the air of franchise fatigue and restoring a sense of childlike wonder and creative audacity to the genre.
But then there are the women—the techno-geared, aggressively gorgeous women. Let’s not pretend for one second that this isn’t deliberate. This is Gunn’s cheeky meta-commentary on the state of representation in the genre. These women are not “hot” in the lazy, objectified sense of the male gaze, but “hot” in the sense that they radiate an almost incandescent power. Their techno-armor is not merely aesthetic; it’s a statement about self-determination and futurism. In a cinematic landscape that has historically oscillated between sidelining female characters or tokenizing them as “strong” but bland, Superman: Legacy promises to do something radical: let them be whole. In this way, the film’s visual language and narrative threads argue for a future that isn’t just better—it’s electrifying, messy, and unafraid to sparkle.
Which brings us to the most audacious claim: that Superman: Legacy could save America, or at least America’s soul. Hyperbolic? Sure, but consider the stakes. We are a nation saturated in alt-right dog whistles, performative wokeness, and an infinite regression of ideological purity tests. The Superman mythos, at its best, has always been aspirational—an immigrant’s story about finding power in humility and strength in empathy. Gunn’s take seems to double down on this, rejecting the nihilism of Snyder’s Superman in favor of a vision that feels urgent and moral without being sanctimonious. Superman: Legacy isn’t about making superhero movies great again; it’s about reminding us why they mattered in the first place. And if it works, it won’t just reframe cinema—it might just realign a country desperately in need of a hero, or at least the idea of one.

Yeah it feels off and very TV. It makes the cgi stand out to much and looks bad

As someone who watched the Reeves movies in the theatre and grew up with Superman bed set and curtains, this trailer left me with goosebumps.
The trailer starting with Supes fucked up really hit me. Something no movie has ever gotten right is how to really handle an OP character without looking stupid or contrived. It is a pervasive problem with Superman and Darth Vader. How do you convey someone that powerful while not making it look silly and also how do you make someone like that not boring? IMO, the path for a character like Superman is to make the movie about the character himself. I think Superman movies need to be less action and more character. Everyone knows Superman is mostly unbeatable. The stakes need to be raised in other aspects of the story as a result. I think James Gunn can do this

It’s a bright colorful movie which is great, it looks clear and hopeful, not overcast and gloomy. I think it gets back to the mood of the Reeves films. I thought the dog was going to be ridiculous but it doesn’t seem that way. I don’t give a shit about the suit, it’s campy to begin with, how could it not be?
I trust James Gunn, he made the Guardians fun and worth watching, I trust him with this.
