The new trailer for James Gunn's take on Superman is out, and looks pretty good. The Snyderbros are out in force to denounce it, but aren't managing to derail the conversation quite as much as they would in the past.

I'm a Superman fan, and am looking forward to this. While I think Cavill was a good choice, he was perhaps, too ripped to be Superman. David Corenswet has a similar "Aw schucks" energy as Christopher Reeve did, and Gunn seems to better understand stuff like, you know, heart.

I feel like I gave Zack Snyder's vision a chance, and while he has style to spare, he's a pretty lousy writer and worldbuilder. The fact that he's a self-professed libertarian as well makes him almost uniquely unsuited for writing a character like Superman, whose selflessness is part of his very fibre. I admit angsty Superman sound interesting on paper, but we ultimately got was quite dreary ... in my opinion.

Anyway, this looks fun.
