Can't wait! Looks like a completely new take on Superman. It could be awesome.

Have to admit this one looks good.


I was never a fan of superman I always found him kinda cheesy and preferred the darker comic book heroes, like Batman etc.

I liked Smallville though, there was something good about that. Trailer looks really good though. :tu:

Yeah, yeah, we've seen the Man of Steel. Can we get a good Wonder Woman? Not Megan Fox!

Aye he seems to be a lot darker in this one. I much prefer the dark comics myself.

I heard the pilot that got binned last year was supposed to be pretty good.

Ever seen a Silver Age comic? Those were the best of days. You had Batbaby. BATBABY.

I heard about that but I wasn't holding out much hope for it. Much like the WB idea for a live action Raven series. Now that I would love to see.

I'm sick of the same old superheroes getting "rebooted", "remade", "reinvented", "regurgitated". How about something NEW for a change? Maybe because no one in H'wood is really that clever?
Illegal immigration isn't a new concept in the US. Just ask the Native Americans.

Binman/Garbageman. He comes and collects the rubbish/garbage from the streets every night.

Why don't they just pick a superhero who hasn't already been made into a movie? Blue Beetle anyone?

I think another network is picking the series up, except it's going to be an origin story (bit of a TV and sci fi geek here).

I agree though, the world of superheroes is rife with sexism. I don't think their writers have had the benefit of the Spice Girls ;)

Personally I love it. Can't get enough of it.

If you want a new and original superhero film, check out 'Chronicle'. It's one of the best ones I've seen. Full stop. http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt1706593/

Seriously, everyone should see that film, in HD if they can.

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into it. But I know I won't see it in HD.

Sexism in comic books?! Nowai?! -fake shock- Look up Atop the Fourth Wall, it's a Internet reviewer, by the catch sign of Linkara who points how the staggering differences between superheroes and superheroines in a lot of his reviews.
