New Man of Steel Trailer!

Wow. This movie looks like it’s really shaping up to be the Superman movie we’ve been yearning for. Not that I had anything against the last reboot as I did enjoy it, (minus a few irritating things) but not everyone will agree with me.

Nolan/Snyder’s darker take on our favorite Kryptonian looks like it delves deeper into Clark’s abandonment issues and search for answers about his past. I really get the sense of his inner conflict based on this trailer alone and if that’s the tone of the movie as a whole then I’m already sold. Not many fans will like Nolan and David Goyer’s “naturalistic approach” to tell the Superman story however we can’t argue that this worked on The Dark Knight trilogy and made it the success that it was.

“What Christopher Nolan and I have done with Superman is try to bring the same naturalistic approach that we adopted for the Batman trilogy. We always had a naturalistic approach, we want our stories to be rooted in reality, like they could happen in the same world we live in. It’s not that easy with Superman, and actually this doesn’t necessarily mean we will make a dark movie. But working on this reboot we are thinking about what would happen if a story like this one actually happened. How would people react to this? What impact would the presence of Superman in the real world have? What I really like to do is write ‘genre’ stories without a cartoonish element. I did the same with Da Vinci’s Demons, and I’ll do the same with Man of Steel.”
