I think the armor would impede his swimming more than his beard.

Forget speed, how do you even trim your beard underwater?  Does he have the opposite of a shower, where there's a little air bubble for him to shave in or something? 

[BillCable]

He's bald...

[JediJman]

I'll go on record as confirming that is NOT a good look for Jesse.  Wow.

[BillCable]

I just think there's no real impact.  I see bald white dudes every day.  Lex was invented back when it was considered shameful to be without hair.  A sign of disease or old age.  That Superman caused it was a big factor in Lex's obsession.

Now, it's like "Eh..."

Reminds me of the Seinfeld issue where Elaine was dating a guy who shaved his head.  Jerry was like "Is he from the FUTURE??"

Yes, Jerry - he was.  He was from 2009.

In other news...

Green Lantern cast?

Now I can finally tell Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg apart!

While lotta meh.

Wow, I agree, the Star Wars trailer was a home run, I am now more excited than ever to see that movie.

But for this movie? I can't help but think about how hard this movie is going to crash and burn and destroy WB/DC's hopes of even being on the same level as Disney/Marvel.

QFT.

Maybe it was because of the trailer quality or maybe it was the sad fact that it came out on the same day as the TFA trailer, but the trailer was lame.

Teases of BB-8, Han and Chewie are AWESOME.  Teases of yet another guy trying to wear the bat-suit with a mean "batman voice" and more "I'm scared of Superman" are boring.

[Diddly]

Reminds me of the Watchman, which sucked.

I wonder if Batman or Superman will bang a chick while Bob Dylan plays in the background?

[Qui-Gon Jim]

We get it.  The DC Uni is dark.  Cripes, even Supes looks dark. 

[Darby]

I know I'm still on a SW high, but meh. I don't particularly care for the direction they seem to be going in and this doesn't do anything to help. I think it's interesting they seem to be addressing the ridiculous mass destruction that made MOS utterly forgettable, by making Superman something of a pariah, but it seems to be doubling down on a bad bet.

Ok - I just watched it again - they posted a hi-res version on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?t=21&v=IwfUnkBfdZ4

And to answer your question Jeff - no, the lack of clarity/quality of the original version did NOTHING to hurt people's impression of the movie, the trailer itself does a good enough job at it.

Like Qui-Gon Jim said, we get it DC, your universe is "dark" and "brooding" - but guess what, I also want to have a little bit of "fun" when I go see my superhero movies, so you're going to have to do a bit more than just trying to recapture the lightning in the bottle that was The Dark Knight.

And seriously - "Tell me, do you bleed?.... YOU WILL" - just HORRIBLE, is Superman supposed to be scared by that?

Oh and for anyone who was holding out hope that man-child Eisenberg was going to be decent in this film, watch the video again, he's the girly-man voice saying weakly "Devils don't come from Hell beneath us, (whisper) no, they come from the sky" - want some cheese with that wine Lex?

Unless I see something radically different in the trailers we get closer to the movie's release, this is an easy pass for me.

I'm in the same boat as many of you.  It may be because it comes on the heels of the great Force Awakens trailer, but it just seemed underwhelming overall.  I want to be excited for this movie, and if I'm being honest I know I'll be there opening weekend, but I too don't care for the "hey, we're the darkest dark that ever darked a dark" vibe they are going for with the DC movie slate.  I understand being serious, or "grounded" as they always like to say, but I think you can do it with a nice balance of both humor and just hopefulness alongside (like Marvel).  We want to still be able to have fun at the movies too, especially "superhero" movies.
