I'm genuinely surprised by that. I didn't think that trailer was so amazing but I guess people believe in Gunn. Even if the numbers come down a bit it will still be pretty good.

Yeah, I'm not sure I buy that projection, GotG 3 only did $118M its first weekend, and everyone knows who, say, Rocket Raccoon is by the third movie. How much of the general audience knows who Mister Terrific is?

Hell, if we are talking DC specifically, The Batman only did $134M, and Superman has been a clear runnerup to Batman box-office wise since at least the Tim Burton Batman.

Slither was pretty good, but like @Void said, he's playing his snarky / comedic self. I don't remember when it came out but it was a pretty fun movie. Early 2000s maybe, just remember I saw it at the theater.

I don't think I've ever seen him in a real serious role.
Slither was 2006 and I can't recommend it enough. It's an all time great creature feature. Right up there with Tremors.

Reeves also did a crazy posture change. In the comics, Supes actually compresses his muscle to be smaller than his Superman size. I am cautiously optimistic about this one. I don’t love who they cast as Lex Luthor. I think you’d need a real commanding presence like Hugh Jackman, Kevin Spacey, or Jason Isaacs. I will say when I first saw that Superman actor in 2019 on “The Election,” I told my wife he looks like he could play the Superman. This is the most comic accurate Superman costume and casting imo.
Sorry if this has been posted in the following page. I always liked that posture study.

Saw a trailer for this, looks awful on every level.
If this is what the audience wants then I hope it does well, but I am not that audience.

I'll agree that trailer is not good, but this movie still looks awesome from everything I've seen so far

I can't find the gif of Guy Gardner I saw earlier, but if he is like that the whole movie, he is perfect.

That particular trailer did suck...and I still have low expectations for this movie but that posture and voice change in the other trailer, that nod to Reeves and the comics, I'm going to see it purely for nostalgia reasons. Even it's corny like the 70s and 80s Superman movies.

I'm not looking for a life changing Superman movie. I just need see a Superman saving people, hopefully just not lifting heavy shit like in Superman Returns. Stupid AI robots be damned.

As someone that was never a DC guy, I am interested in seeing it, but it's a dry intellectual interest in seeing what Gunn does with tone and setup for this version of the DC universe.

It's definitely the movie I want to see most this (remainder of) summer, but that's just lack of interest in the market - I might see F1 (Go Kosinski!) but honestly can't conceive of spending money for FF, and that's it.

Edit: Maaaybe if reviews for Naked Gun were fantastic I wouldn't wait for streaming, as I do like Akiva Schaffer, but that's also damning Superman with faint praise.

They need to fire this clown and hand the reigns over to the penguin/batman guy. He knows how to make interesting cape shit.

gonna be honest haven't really followed this at all cus outside of batman, dont give a fuck about DC, so watching this trailer for the first time.
oh god this looks fucking awful. How many characters is he introducing? How many villains? looks crowded as fuck, just overwhelming amount of bloat. And the slo-mo teeth flying out of the face from the hit? like a carbon copy steal from..what was it, oh yeah Wanted?


Guess he's bro's with chris pratt prolly asked his permission to steal that.

IDK, can't really tell shit from the trailer but it looks like he took the worst parts all the previous DC iterations and tried to top them? That michael cera looking fuck....jesse eissenburg or whatever? biggest complaint about the last round of DCU was why the fuck did they cast that twerp to play luthor....so Gunn has to one up him by casting an even shittier version of that guy to play luthor? lol wtf. we go from kevin costner to some fat redneck jellyroll looking Pa Kent? and super dog? jesus christ this looks fucking retarded.

Not much of a DC fan outside of batman, ie same as 90% of the population. When the fuck was the last time superman comic was even interesting? death of superman in the early 90s? yeah comic book fans of superman are all dead or in nursing homes. no idea who this bloated mess appeals to?

TBH expecting Thunderbolts* level performance from the box office here, this will definitely do less than the reeves Batman remake.

hell as good as cavill was as supes, unless batman shows up nobody gives a shit about superman.

Didn't like the trailer either but can't cite anything specific. Just didn't feel like the other trailers.

If the other trailers are a highlight, this one felt like a lowlight comparatively.

I think they should pull this one.
