See this is what i like in a teaser... why spunk ya load now when we'll have 3 trailers, an intl trailer and 10 TV Spots that'll show a good portion of the flick later on

Precisely! We’re just used to getting so much information these days I suppose.

Patience everyone, the goods are no doubt coming.

it's just that the footage is boring and doesn't give any real suggestion as to what this is or where it's going.

I don’t think you need to convey those points in a teaser, a year out from release.

We get brief beats from the story here and a nice insight into the look of the thing. And then a wonderful closing shot of him soaring into the stratosphere. And then the crest. Done! Oh there’s a new Superman film coming next year, that’s the only thing that needs to resonate with the audience at this point, nothing more. We don’t need anything else at this point. Teasers don’t get bums in seats, marketing much closer to release does that. I’m sure it won’t have the masses falling out of their seats into puddles of excitedly discharged urine but they’ll get the message. There’s a Superman film coming next year... watch this space.

Sure we’re not all going to agree on this one though

I dont want the teaser to spunk it's load, I dont want tonnes of footage and I love teasers that tease. Which is why TDK teaser is such a great example, it used no footage yet told you enough about that movie to get the general audience really on board. Through that simple teaser of the symbol and the few lines of dialogue audiences knew 'This is Batman vs Joker' it didnt have to tell them plot or reveal the big action set pieces, but it was perfect as a teaser. If youre going to announce a new Superman film and youre going to do it via footage from the film, that footage should at least have enough to say 'Superman is back!' or it should be exciting enough to make people go 'WOW' or it should draw people in to ask questions and get curious/teased... this does none of that. Thats why I think it fails. The footage looks good and I am sure this flick will deliver the action and all the rest, I am just so dissapointed with the teaser. The Comic Con footage sounded pretty cool and sounded like it had enough to really sell it as a different kind of Superman to the previous flicks (Superman under armed guard, burning buses, heroics etc), this doesnt feel/look all that different to Singer's and it really wouldnt surprise me if the general audience thought it was a direct sequel to Returns.

I'm one of the few that really wanted a Singer directed sequel to Returns

It's from Zimmers Thin Red Line score I believe

I had strong reservations about Snyder as directoron this (despite being a fan of Dawn, 300 and Watchmen) and yes it's a miniscule amount of footage shown so far but it just looks right - here's hoping it's consistent with the final film's quality.

Just read that as the DKR IMAX prints are so large there are no trailers attached to it. Anyone confirm this whoes been to a proper IMAX showing? Shame if so, was looking forward to seeing it on Monday

I'm a soppy sod at the best of times... That had me welling up a bit with the death of Gandalf score

Thought they were using music from The Thin Red Line for this teaser but this worked for me. Gorgeous imagery and gorgeous music. The shot where the caped child adopts the iconic hands on hips pose... Chills! Again, soppy sod

Nobody has picked up on the insane similarity to Tree Of Life or other Malick films yet? It's like Snyder has really tried to emulate that style, and I don't have a problem with that at all. The thought of a comic book shot entirely like that has me very excited.

I'm sure the trailer will rasie the question of how Superman shaves his beard! Saying that, no-one really questioned how he got his hair cut. The trailer is kind of Malick-esque I suppose. It certainly wasn't something I was expecting. Wanna see some action now though. Surely we're not going to have to wait till xmas for THAT!

I see some people are underwhelmed with the teaser spot for Man Of Steel, especially in comparision to Superman Returns, which had some fantastic trailers and tv spots. I wonder if this has anything to do with the music...?  It was the begining bars of the Superman them in the trailers for Returns that got the gooses bumping for me.
Although I have slowly bought in to the wiping of the slate in relation to the music in the new film and it not including the John Williams music, I can't see it being bettered. I'm presuming that the music from LOTR used so far is temporary until the score is completed?

Managed to catch a bootleg (decent quality actually) of the Comic Con footage and it really pisses all over the teaser. The Comic Con footage makes it look superb, the teaser, not so much. There is a shot of Superman covered in flames that looks awesome and another that is more difficult to make out that looks like he is being covered in something or sinking into something, reaching out a hand that looks really cool. Some little glimpses of Amy Adams as Louis and what looks like it may be Zod and Supes in an aerial fight with the camera angled alongside a building. It looked great.
