Love that the fortress is hidden and rotates like an observatory

u/morgoth834 2d ago

Agreed. Seeing the Fortress rotate to align with the Sun is such a minor detail but is also incredibly cool.

I’m not a huge Superman fan I don’t know much of the lore except what’s been shown in all the movies and I thought it was an awesome detail. The trailer and this teaser actually have me excited to see a Superman movie and not only that to actually go see a movie in the theater.

Same. I never cared much for DC films and I've been kinda burnt out on superheroes (except for Invincible, Marvel and The Boys have drained me) but this looks very fun

u/EsquilaxM 2d ago

It made me finally wonder "Wait, is the Fortress located there not for the solitude but for the 6 months long sun??"

u/geek_of_nature 2d ago

Could it be possible then that there's one at the South Pole too? Which him switching up which one he goes to every six months.

Even superman has a holiday home.

"Oh, I summer in Antarctica. Yeah, getting my dog over is a hustle, but what can you do"

u/No_Macaroon_5928 1d ago

He may never as filthy rich as Bruce but Bruce doesn't have a holiday home in the middle of Antarctica. That's flex.

u/MaddenMike 1d ago

It's an ICE BnB

u/notpetelambert 2d ago

That's how he gets the solitude, whenever people go there to bother him he's at the other one

2

u/EsquilaxM 2d ago

That's what I was wondering, too! But I've not read enough Superman/JL to know!

2

u/Jaereon 1d ago

I've never seen that in the comics. But that's a really really cool idea so I hope they do use it

3

u/psimwork 2d ago

First time I've ever wondered that as well.

u/CeruleanEidolon 1d ago

And does it pick up and move to the other pole for half of the year?

u/TheChlorideThief 2d ago

I think it’s a cool detail, but it’s anything but minor lol

u/UsernameAvaylable 2d ago

THough it would have been neater if they had not opened a window but used those clear crystals to focus the light on supes. Would have given a sense to the way its build.

u/AmericanNewWave 2d ago

In 1978, having the fortress "out in the open" in the Arctic Circle was perfectly fine.

In 2025, with satellites everywhere and Google Earth, it's a necessary change for the sake of verisimilitude.

u/Prestigious-Mess5485 2d ago

You just wanted to say verisimilitude.

u/bigpoppachungus 2d ago

I just wanted to say antidisestablishmentarianism.

Anti-distinctly minty...

u/joecwright83 2d ago

So nice to see a blackadder reference in the wild

u/lunchbox12682 1d ago

And make a note of the word gobblety gook. I like it and wish to use it more.

/Close enough

u/scuac 2d ago

and I would like to say a few words: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!

u/Trippp2001 2d ago

Thank you Dumbledore

u/NiteOwl94 2d ago

I just want to say plethora.
It means a lot.

u/ZombieSiayer84 2d ago

I just wanted to say pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

u/eyelidgeckos 2d ago

And I just wanted to say Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft. 🤪

u/Yodamanjaro 1d ago

Am I having a stroke

2

u/ZombieSiayer84 1d ago

It’s the name of a town in Wales.

Maybe whoever named it was having a stroke.

Verisimilitudinousness

u/luckyfucker13 2d ago

I learned this word back in 1999 while watching American Pie

u/NetflixAndNikah 2d ago edited 2d ago

I love when people sneak in uncommon words. Been trying to fit chicanery in somewhere lately.

u/its2ez4me24get 2d ago

With the knowledge of 20+ galaxies maybe they learned how to shit on spy satellites

1

u/CeruleanEidolon 1d ago

I would imagine that Bruce Wayne is happy to do favors for JL members and black out their homes from the satellites.

2

u/Waste_Committee4406 2d ago

Smallville did it first. I think Gunn has taken a few of the best things from that show and modernized them, there are some really underrated tidbits that show tried to do.

2

u/mjc4y 2d ago

Obviously, I mean you don't hide that fortress and you're really imposing a pretty big believability-burden on an audience who just came to see a movie about a nigh-invicible space alien who can fly, see through walls and blow arctic wind out of his mouth, has a cape-wearing dog with the power of a pickup truck, and who lives at the north pole with an army of robots.

u/B------C 2d ago

Did you by chance read the comic Assorted Crisis Events?

u/Suitable-Buyer-4840 2d ago

I think it’s so cute when yall talk about comic book stuff like it’s real💕💙

u/Mediocre-Counter9223 2d ago

Reminds me of the Jedi temple from rebels.

u/eljudio42 2d ago

Does anyone know if the sun healing in the fortress was in the comics? Also why is he shouting in pain? Maybe due to everything going back into place and rocking around in there?

6

u/disapp_bydesign 2d ago

I heard it described as alcohol on a wound. It’s helping but it’s hurting.

4

u/eljudio42 2d ago

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks :)

2

u/CruelMetatron 1d ago

I, too, change the direction my house is facing so my one window faces the sun instead of putting in several windows.

1

u/Ripper1337 2d ago

I’ve always seen the fortress depicted as this stationary thing. It rising out of the ice and rotating was pretty cool.

1

u/ElderCreler 2d ago

What happens in winter though?

u/DusqRunner 1d ago

Let me guess, you were an animator on the film?

u/danimation88 1d ago

I wish…
