History WMG / ManOfSteel

The 2nd trailer has Pa Kent being ambivalent as to whether Clark should've saved the kids on the bus, Ma Kent seems to be helping Clark with his [[SuperSenses super hearing]], and the army doesn't seem to trust him at the least. The film may start as a Deconstruction of Superman, showing how today's world would react to such a being, and then turn into a Reconstruction, and remind the audience why Superman is [[ShowyInvincibleHero a]][[TheMessiah w]][[TheParagon e]][[NiceGuy s]][[IdealHero o]][[ThePollyanna m]][[BigGood e]]

He'll be his usual DrivenByEnvy self from post-Crisis, though, trying to get rid of Supes so he can be the hero of the U.S. It will also be mentioned that he was once a C.E.O. This would also introduce the conflict of ToBeLawfulOrGood to Supes.

[[WMG: The film with be full of SilverAge whackiness]]

In Film/TheDarkKnightSaga, it was very much clear, especially in the second and third films, that the main theme was the conflict between Order and Chaos, specially LawfulGood vs. ChaoticEvil. In the upcoming Superman Trilogy, the conflict will be, instead, [[ChaoticGood be of a super powerful being not letting anything, not even governments, get in the way of justice and what is right]] battling against [[LawfulEvil individuals who wish to oppress anyone in their way for whatever reason]]. In the first movie, it would probably be General Zod, either having been released from an interdimensional prison long after Krypton blew up, or having long conquered all of Kryptonand ruling it to the point where [[FateWorseThanDeath it may as well been better off blown up spiritually speaking]], coming to Earth in order to conquer it and/or use it as replacement planet for the Kryptonians.

[[WMG: Judging from the trailer Man of Steel will be a [[IntercontinuityCrossover crossover]] with ''Series/DeadliestCatch.'']]
Clark Kent must have found a job on a crab fishing boat. Actually considering he is NighInvulnerable that would be right up his alley.
** That or Aquaman is going to be a supporting character.

* Seeing as how a reboot for batman is already in the works its much more likely that this is going to be the first movie in a DCCU rather than part of the original Nolanverse. I wouldn't be even remotely surprised if its very similar to the Nolanverse though.

* As long as he's not trying to pull another real estate scam I'm in. I could definitely see either of them as the BigBad of the Justice League movie.

[[WMG: One of the trailers will end with Zod saying "Kneel"]]

[[WMG:LexLuthor will be [[PresidentEvil the President of the U.S.A.]]]]

Because it would be blasphemy if they didn't.

If the above WMG of future villains is correct, the trend of ChaoticGood vs. LawfulEvil will be prevalent in the entire trilogy and may in fact be the main overreaching theme as well.

In TheDarkKnightTrilogy, it was very much clear, especially in the second and third films, that the main theme was the conflict between Order and Chaos, specially LawfulGood vs. ChaoticEvil. In the upcoming Superman Trilogy, the conflict will be, instead, [[ChaoticGood be of a super powerful being not letting anything, not even governments, get in the way of justice and what is right]] battling against [[LawfulEvil individuals who wish to oppress anyone in their way for whatever reason]]. In the first movie, it would probably be General Zod, either having been released from an interdimensional prison long after Krypton blew up, or having long conquered all of Kryptonand ruling it to the point where [[FateWorseThanDeath it may as well been better off blown up spiritually speaking]], coming to Earth in order to conquer it and/or use it as replacement planet for the Kryptonians.

* That quiet, realistic teaser? Just a smokescreen. Expect thirty-seven different colours of Kryptonite, Krypto, Jimmy Olsen turning into a giant turtle boy and a fight between Zod and Beppo the Super-Monkey. ''On the moon''.

[[WMG:This film and its eventual series is part of the [[TheDarkKnightSaga Nolanverse]]]]

* His father's voiceover on the teaser outright states "one day you are going to have to make a choice... decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be". Add that to the fact the villain is General Zod, a Kryptonian, and I wouldn't be too suprised if Zod gives Clark/Kal-El a WeCanRuleTogether speech, forcing Clark to choose wheather to stand with humanity or his own people. He'll choose humanity, obviously.

LexLuthor will appear, but as a secondary villain only.

Just getting that out of the way, considering that Nolan is involved with both franchises. It will pave the way for several other DC movies in the 'verse, and the inevitable [[JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]]. Not unlike what [[MarvelCinematicUniverse Marvel did]]
