Re: Superman: The Man of Steel (D: Snyder)
Some Man of Steel memes:
In watching this trailer...I really like how it feels epic. And that there is power in Superman there. Like a force.
As much as I love Superman: TM and Superman II (leaning toward Donner's)....I never feel that from those, the ones after, or ever Singer's. A force in that man. I could see it in Singer's but it had no impact. Donner's is only affected by the time it was made in...so I can't blame it for that.
Is that original music or not? Really dug the way it played. Also...really dig the color palette in there. So far from the Comic Con trailer alone. It's bringing everything I want in a Supes film. A lot of drama, epicness, etc. Really want to see more of Krypton whenever we can the next time. I'd love to see what that world looks like in this film.

I disagree. Material from Krypton should have the same "molecular density" and "specific radiation" (to use the movie terms), as Kal-El, so he should be able to use them in the same way that an Earth man uses Earth steel (or whatever). Kryptonian metal (or crystal) should cut right through his Krptyonian hair. Seems a lot more plausible, and far less comical, than using heat vision.

Yeah, and do yourself a favor and don't go back about 8 or so pages....It's definitely the last time I ever try to use reason in a superhero thread...as soon as you just mention "Williams score" that's all people see and need to say that you need to "get over it" ... actually, do go back cause it's funny how nobody reads things in full.

I remember reading the they need the theme bit, which is bs. I'm glad this film will stand on it's own and not use it. Like I've said before...it doesn't need to be shackled to those films. Has to stand on it's own.

See this is just the problem, those memes even if they aren't exactly brilliant anymore, highlight the suckyness. The movies that make it ultra-down to the earth for the origin can go SUCK OFF themselves. First of all, i understand where the guys sitting back in their chairs in the room thinking this stuff up think they are making it more legendary and epic by making him like this doing common salt of the earth stuff. Forget that is just what Lucas did with the SW Prequels, Singer did with Returns, sloowly building it like a sweeping thing. Donner did this already. It is done.
It is probably like crack for the common film writer who cannot resist self-indulging themselves. What we see is just a fisherman for a long stretch of time acting noble and stuff. It sucks.

You've never read a comic book in your entire life, have you? It's not because of their planet that Kryptonians become Yellow Sun batteries, which is what gives them their superpowers on Earth. It's a genetic talent of the species alone, not the planet or the objects from Krypton.

As silly as burning your hair off with heat is, Kryptonian steel wouldn't break through Superman's invulnerability. Kryptonians normally are not superpowered. They are as normal as Earth people. The Kryptonian sun is red, and Kryptonians get their powers from a yellow sun, like the Earth sun. So on Krypton, nothing and nobody is superpowered. There is nothing special about Kryptonian steel.
"Realistically" the only way for Superman to shave would be to depower himself. Either by flying far enough away from the yellow Earth sun or exposing himself to red kryptonite every time he needs to shave.

Only in the Smallville universe. In the DCU, Red Kryptonite effects Superman differently each time he's exposed to it. He can get old. Grow a third eye. Become a werewolf. Etc. The effects would last 48 hours.

It doesn't matter if it is a comic or movie. A super-powered rock is just stupid either way.
Red kryptonite has been portrayed rather inconsistently. As the previous poster said, Pre-Crisis Silver Age Superman underwent a different effect each time he was exposed to red kryptonite. Post-Crisis, the first appearance of red kryponite was in a storyarc called Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite, and in that story it took away Superman's powers temporarily. Although it was ultimately revealed to be fake kryptonite created by Mxyzptlk's magic. Red kryptonite was used later again in the Tower of Babel storyarc in JLA. This time it was created by Ra's al Ghul, and it took away Superman's powers while also causing him intense pain and making his skin turn transparent.

It wouldn't surprise me if the beard is a result of his powers first manifesting and he hasn't learned how to shave it off yet. That seems like a tweak a Hollywood script would come up with for Clark Kent's development. Remember, all modern versions have eliminated his powers as a youth and any notion of a Superboy.

Chris Nolan has already professed how much he loved The Tree of Life. And it shows in the teaser. It wouldn't surprise me if the story was written around the same time of his viewing the Tree of Life. Because the trailer really reflects Terrence Malicks work.

Again, Nolan is supervising the direction and editing of this marketing piece?
