Superman Returns Trailer Confirmed with M:i:III
Source: Hargon April 28, 2006

Superhero Hype! has confirmed that the new Superman Returns trailer will be enclosed in the can with Paramount's "Mission: Impossible III," opening next Friday, May 5th and will also be attached to all prints of WB's "Poseidon" the following week, on Friday, May 12th.

Warner Bros. has the trailer listed as 2 minutes and 28 seconds. Theaters will have access to it in digital format, so if you have the chance to catch "Mission: Impossible III" on a digital screen (it's going out to 135 digital theaters), then definitely do so!

Superman Returns flies into theaters, IMAX and IMAX 3D on June 30th.

The new trailer is fantastic and it is already online:

:s:

The 1st trailer was but a tease, this new one should destroy any doubters! :s:

If you pause the 2nd trailer at 2:04, you can see a map of the world on the wall behind Lex - with what looks like an extra continent in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.  It also looks like it may have been split off from the U.S. - Perhaps Lex is back to looking for more beach front property.

:s:

It looks like its a radial continent that IS the eastern US, maybe the result of an impact caused by "alien technology"?

The Superman costume looks fine to me... 8)

Some of the SFXre breathtaking - some of the cGI looks like video game quality.  Not liking "the munchkin" and Routh looks more like SuperBOY than Man. Nice to see a truly evil Luthor in the John Shea tradition.  

With the adherence to Donner original, the use of the Williams score and seeing Brando, made me wonder where Chris and Margot were? It's kinda like hearing the Batman TV theme in the Batman movies in a way.  

Reserving judgement until I see the film, natch.  Believe me I want to be blown away!

Looks fantastic!

I too have reservations about tying the new film(s) visually and thematically to the older ones, but I've had over a year to get used to the idea now.  Likewise it's helped having so many early PR photos of Routh as Superman/boy, so I'm getting comfortable with his appearance as well (anyway no Superman actor has ever looked totally right for the part, especially not George Reeves and he's my favorite!  If the performance is strong enough the looks become less important).

The effects look terrific and really capture the concept of flying better than any Superman project I've seen.  I remember watching Magneto levitate over the Statue of Liberty in "X-Men" and thinking "this guy needs to do a Superman film...we've come a long way with effects." And now here we are with Singer on Superman...and a shot of Supes and Lois at the Planet that reminds me a lot of that Magneto shot.

Very strong trailer that will get a lot of people excited, I'm sure.  And the best part is I got to see it without watching MI:3 and putting more money in the pocket of that idiot lowlife Tom Cruise.

Gotta love that last gag in the trailer, too.  Classic.  :lol:

Here's a screen shot:

Australia wasn't enough for him.  Now he wants his own continent and the cheap water-front property.  Notice that the radial design maximizes the amount of coastline, so he's pretty smart in his insane way.


Yeah, there's one sequence in this trailer of Superman landing that looks just like the scene in the Hulk trailer of the Hulk catching a tank.  And as Nightwing noted, the Superman/Lois flight scene was similar to the X-Men - but seeing the way Superman ripped the wing off of a plane makes me hopeful that there will be a lot of original stuff here too.

:s:

The flight scene is similar but not identical...the vibe is very different.  I like that Lois stands on Superman's feet to be lifted in the air, the way a little girl stands on her daddy's feet to dance.  It's sweet.

But as for the wing thing...if this is the plane (near)crash I've heard alluded to in spoilers, it would seem the wing comes off because Superman tries to catch it by the wing and it turns out to be a bad idea, forcing another tactic.  This is pretty much what happened in the first episode of the Animated Series...Superman tries to catch a crashing plane by its tail, but it breaks off so he has to regroup.  So maybe it ain't so original.

Man, this trailer makes me want June 30th to be here YESTERDAY!

LOVED Luthor  from the fortress to "say it, say the thing..."  

You may have your doubts about Supes,  but Lex is fantastic!

OH, WOW!!!!!  

I'm more excited than ever now.  The effects look amazing.  I can't wait for this thing to hit.   :D

OH MY GOD: 1 WORD --- FANTASTIC!!!

Waiting for months with that silly Teaser, not knowing what to expect --- But this trailer makes me so excited I think I can fly.

Routh looks okay, but there wasn't much of him in the trailer to get me as excited as seeing Lexy Baby.

Spacey looks fantastic and it looks like watching an original Lex Luthor, forgetting Hackman and Shea. SPACEY STANDS ALONE, looking better than ever.

the time we see Brado in the fortress, that looks like Pearce Brosnan in the movies compaired to the video games. It looks kinda fake, as is the scene when superman crashes to the ground feet-first.

But overall It's fantastic. the score gets me more excided and can't wait.

Oh and another thing which i felt they shouldn't have done was, as the score gets more high an exciding and frank Langela says "Superman Returns...". The excitment breaks to go to the love scene.

Kinda took the thrill away a small bit. But this is 2 mins and 30 secs which i would pay in to see.

[cK]

This is beyond amazing. I was looking forward to the movie anyway, but the trailer makes me want to camp out in front of the theater starting today.

The new trailer looks absolutely STUNNING! Can't wait!

I never had much of an opinion about Routh. But now more than ever, I think he's going to do TMOS justice.

Spacey looks like he'll do a great job as Lex. Maybe better than Hackman.

. . .ggg. . .ggggg. . .

*twitches*

 Holy crap this is gonna rock!

  :D

 -Def.

Alas, it didn't. It just made the doubters more vehement. They went so far as to make bogus reviews of the rough cut in order to sink the movie, and some morons actually bought into them. UGO.com got nailed for the fake bad review they tried peddling, though.

Speaking for myself, I liked the trailer. I think I liked the machine gun stuff the best. It looks like Superman's gonna have a pretty big body count to clean up...and I admit, I want to see bullets shattering off his eyes. And we've been promised that.
