Huh, know what I just realized?

This will actually be the first movie ever to just be titled "Superman". Kinda wild to think about, right?

Yeah I'm really glad they dropped the "Legacy" from the title. I certainly feel it's gonna live up to the legacy of the character and that's important, but putting the word front and center like that feels too backwards-looking.

You are not alone.

Err...the 1979 film was just titled Superman on screen also the 1948 film serial. Though I looked that one up.

Well, officially, the 78 film is Superman: The Movie, and the serial is just that: a serial. This is the first full-length feature film to simply be titled "Superman".

No, I beleive that's backwards officially it's Superman and was marketed under other titles.

Although if we're going by onscreen titles, that technically means we've got a Batman movie that's simply called "Forever".

My only real concern is the other heroes appearing, I hope they are just cameos and such and they avoid overstuffing the film.

They are supporting characters, not cameos.

Terrific, Hawkgirl, and Gardner are intended to have roles in the film that contribute to the story and don't take away from Supes and Lois.

This movie is going for a lot of characters, and I think it's a good direction to take.

The casting for this movie really is top notch, though and not just for the big parts. Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard and Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen are near perfect.

Other supers we know are appearing are Metamorpho, The Engineer, Supergirl (and arguably Rick Flag, SR if you want to be technical).

It's for the setting. "Superheroes are a thing, and Clark's the new kid on the block." Seems to be the setup. So to sell that they do need a decent number of pre-established heroes running around.

This is already established with Gunn's previous DC works; as The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker and Creature Commandos shows people don't find superpowered costumed vigilantes or villains too out of the ordinary.

All of those also balance large casts fairly well so I'm not too worried about thwm overstuffing it. I trust Gunn knows what he's doing.

Supergirl's inclusion does make me raise an eyebrow though. Cameo in the stinger?

Well, we can have an After credits scene...

Hidden Figure: You think you're the only superhero in the world? Clark, you've become part of a bigger universe; you just don't know it yet.

Supes: Who are you?

Hidden Figure: I´m Batman!

Why does Batman need to show up like that? Maybe they already know each other. Superheroes are already an established thing.

The ending scene just being Clark going into Bibbo's, meeting up with Bruce for some coffee, talking about what happened.

I love Clark's look, and the fact Krypto is being embraced in a movie that does look serious. Also love how people talk about Guy Gardner's bowl cut.

[up]While it is comic-accurate, it's still hilarious to look at. It didn't do Noah Schnapp any favors, it looks even funnier on Nathan Fillion. At least Guy's getting the spotlight this time. It's usually either John or Hal. Him also nonchalantly walling out the hecklers w/o even looking at them also captures Guy's character well.

I'll admit that I did not realise until reading this forum that the fellow firing a green beam was meant to be a Lantern; I'd initially guessed that it was Lex Luthor wearing a wig, using a kryptonite ring of some sort.

(It helps that I didn't get a good look at what was being done with the green beam, or the actor; just that something was being beamed.)

To be fair Guy's a sledgehammer compared to Hal and Jessica's finesse, John's precision and Kyle's imagination. Dunno what to qualify Simon and haven't seen Jo in action that much to make an accurate assessment.

If the team is going to be antagonistic or rivals to Clark Guy works better than Hal or John.

Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.

Guy was real cocky towards Supes during Death of Superman even after Doomsday pummeled him to hamburger meat.

Guy also tends to start a lot of shit. Batman famously knocked him out after one too many.

There was also a funny moment when Sinestro face palmed after finding out that Guy was going commando while wearing the ring and he wondered aloud how he got one in the 1st place.

What also sold that scene was Guy not giving a damn about Sinestro's opinion and casually walked around the room in the buff despite being a prisoner.

After seeing it, I wondered about the wisdom of the trailer's first shots portraying a Superman as bloodied and beaten up, fearing that it made him look weak. At the same time, though, it—and everything else in the trailer—did make me want to know what was going on, which is what a trailer's supposed to do. And we did get the shot of him saving the little girl.

I'm down for all the casting, especially Lois and Luthor, though I'm still not entirely sure about Corenswet as Superman/Clark (and Clark's hair looked ridiculous in some shots, and fine in others). Have to wait and see.
