Dude. This is the first time we've ever gotten a live action adaptation of Krypto the Superdog in the 70 years that the character has been a thing.
You may be annoyed but me and just about every Superman fan is reveling in this occasion.
That's amazing. Jack London, for instance. Richard Nixon. All this time, they were homosexuals. Why hasn't this obvious gayness clue been more widely reported?
So was the Lassie TV show a secret gay indoctrination tool? Ironic if Lassie was grooming.
Idk how closely people track trailer performance but I hope they account or allow somehow for people like myself & the Mrs who will skip both this and any Peacemaker trailers bc we're already 100% certain to watch both ASAP and don't want any more info before that 🙌🙌🙌
Hi James! Will there be press junkets for Superman soon? If so, do you know who I can contact to RSVP? I’d like to do press to help promote the movie. Please let me know. Thanks! 👀
I hope this trailer gives us more details about what the plot is going to be about, there's many things going on in this film. Which I mean it's James Gunn he's a great director I just hope there isn't too much all at once.
I was shocked to see this post was just posted today - not from when what I thought the trailer came out weeks (months?) ago. Hollywood has got to stop releasing movies in trailer form. I've watched maybe 30 seconds of this movie via trailers and that was too much.
Remember The Suicide Squad's trailers and how it was never revealed that half those characters were going to be killed off for a gag 5 minutes in? Just watch the trailer and then go watch the movie and have a grand old time, friend.
Riiiiiiight, sure... And from those you deduced that said team was going to drop dead within 5 minutes... Or even that they wouldn't be a big part of the movie... It's obvious now, in hindsight, but come on... You didn't have an inkling then and you were surprised just like everyone else.
Excited to see a celebration of moral clarity for once! There have been too many criminals as protagonists in series and films in recent years, helping to pave the way to the dire situation in which the world finds itself.
I'm -super- excited for you, the cast, and this movie but haven't we already seen enough trailers? The teaser was more than enough in and of itself. Make going to the movies fun again and stop spoiling everything. PLEASE.
This is likely a result of how Frank Miller portrayed him in TDK: a tool of a Reagan-led populist government. Miller is wrong, of course, but the mouthbreathers sure love the "gritty" versions of Miller and Snyder.
Creators Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster were Jewish & infused Superman mythology with biblical/Hebrew symbolism.“Kal-El” means “Voice of God” or “Vessel of God.” “Jor” isnt a direct Hebrew word, but it resembles names like “Yor” or “Yoré,” loosely tied to roots like yoreh (teacher or one who instructs).
Superman has been anti-fascist since the beginning. The comic books and radio series had overt anti-racist and anti-bigotry themes, and Lois Lane was a tough, no-nonsense career woman who taught a young Clark Kent about the world when he was still wet behind the ears. Superman is woke.

Yeah, checks all the boxes for things fascists and neo-nazis love.
I don't have a dog in this. I haven't heard anything about Neo-nazis and Superman. As an agnostic, I just have a slightly different take on Superman as American Jesus which, as a concept, I could see being very appealing to that group.
He's white, he came from the heavens, he's here to save us, he's wrapped in the flag's colors, and, in Superman Returns, he literally "dies" for humanity _in the crucifixion pose_ and resurrects later.
Again, I don't think he is particularly popular with fascists, just that I could see how it could happen. They suck at media literacy and are easily confused by simple things like Superman translating to Ubermensch in German.
It's the same idiotic mentality that lets fascists believe that "Blazing Saddles" is pro-racism, when it was written and directed by a Jew and co-written by a Black man. They try to co-opt everything, even Tolkien, who had clear anti-totalitarian, environmentalist and social justice themes.
Nazis don't understand subtext and love to appropriate things that symbolize strength. And, thanks to Zack Snyder's Randian take on Superman and rabid fanbase, there are "fans" of the character who fundamentally misunderstand his history. Gunn's film is meant to be a corrective to that.
is he? I try not to associate with fascists and neo-nazis so I don't know what they're into but even if they do like Superman we don't have to let them claim ownership of all the stuff we like
Jason I got a legitimate question for YOU, why? why the fuck do you post this dumbass resist lib garbage here or really anywhere. If you believe this ok then post it with confidence not this veiled question feckless shit. Also literally Superman's Radio show put the Klan into remission for years
is it going to include a reference to those super-thick milkshakes mentioned in an episode of Justice League Unlimited? If not... /ragequit

I cannot even believe how sad it makes me to think about a Superman movie coming out this fall. I can't even imagine what this world is going to look like by then because we have yet to see a real Superman show up.
the animation is dope. i didnt even know about this. Batman is number is number 1 but Superman has always been a close when they use him right. DC is number is number Marvel only has The Punisher, Wolverine, and Deadpool that make things cool. They ruined Spiderman
Can't wait. Beyond excited for this. I'm trying desperately to get my kid into Superman and the trailers so far have caught his eye. Will be at the theaters to watch this with him as soon as possible. Thank you, James Gunn.
Grew up in a world where Superman was THE #1 Superhero. I miss that. I desperately hope he's about to make a comeback. Haven't seen Supes on the big screen in far too long.

I scoffed @ the idea initially. When I saw the scene w/ Krypto & the trailer it lifted my soul.
We all need a lot of hope right now. We need to see a hero that fights for truth, justice & the American way.

The Gillette shaver method of advertising. “Add one more!”
For most other directors, this would be a sure recipe for disaster.
But somehow I don't have this “don't mess this up! don't mess this up!” in my head. No doubt I will enjoy the new Superman. (And DCU.)

But I love the logo on poster boy sups!?
Note - I'd like to see them try😉

Maybe our friend from the fifth dimension can answer it.
Bring it on @jamesgunn.bsky.social!
Can't wait for this movie.
