Superman Returns Teaser Trailer...

[Lexmark3200]

Yep, Wooch is right

OF COURSE...yes...right...

For all we know the infor in that trailer is 90% of footage that was filmed for the backstory. All one has to do is follow the links on the trailer webpage and read the official write-up WB has released on the film. The fact theres a few minutes of backstory footage tells us nothing about the movie's plot.

What? Thats what this teaser WAS FOR. In fact, go on all the major home theater discussion sites, and you'll see that this little clip is all the rage right now with purists complaining this is going to be a restart of the franchise, more likely than not, and is being analyzed irrespective of the press materials Warner has pre-released (which I have read every page of in the media kit sent directly to my office).

Everyone just needs to agree with Lex.

That's what he wants. He can't stand when people have a different opinion or view than his.

For me, I don't care if it's a restart or a continuation. If it's good, that's all that matters.

People, that is completely and UTTERLY UNTRUE, believe me. I enjoy disagreements and admit to them every time there is one and I'm perfectly open to opinion and differences in opinion.

But indeed JSE has a point......if it's good that's all that matters, and I hope it is good, although I have to admit Im damn curious if this is going to continue with II or restart the series!

Anyone know the release date? I'm sure it's back in one of the links you guys already posted. OK, OK, I'll look for myself.

I tried finding a few discussion sites with comments you described, but instead I found a ton of reference to the following interview with Bryan Singer earlier this year from the world's largest Superman site:

http://www.supermanhomepage.com/movi...perman-returns

"He'll begin in his late 20s. He lost his powers in Superman II and now he has the powers back. But something has happened because he's been away for a long time."

"We're taking off from the first two Superman films with Christopher Reeve. We use his history and then move on with big twists and great special effects.

"We're not going to do the origin story again."

Bryan Singer reveals that the movie will feature a return of Superman of some sorts, and not a complete reimagining. He also went on to reveal that there may be references to the Christopher Reeve movies and maybe even scenes from the other movies. "It puts the first films in a kind of vague history. So what it doesn't do is tread over the 1978 Richard Donner film, it doesn't tread over 'Smallville.' It elaborates on the existence of Superman in the world in a history. He's out of the culture and then he returns."


While stranger things have happened, I think we have to take the guy that knows for sure at his word, and ignore all the pointless debate by internet-know-it-alls who are notorious for being wrong about movie plots. We see this with every anticipated movie, X-Men, Star Wars, Spiderman, etc...

And the above is also consistent with WB's official word on the issue.

This could all be smoke and mirrors, but you'll need credible evidence, not just internet fans who claim to be in the know, to convince anyone otherwise.

Besides, it'd be suicide to lie to fans about the plot, take their money, then say "gotcha, we did an origin story"...
