On the heels of the third and final Star Trek into Darkness trailer, Warner Bros has unleashed a third trailer for Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel. The first Superman movie without the word Superman jammed right in the title, this is a pure reboot that takes Kai El/Clark Kent/Superman back to his roots on Krypton. The question remains: will this film seem more like a edgy and sophisticated Nolan kind of superhero film or will it be all glitz and glamor like Synder’s previous entries to the movie world?

This Nolan collaboration promises to bring a darker, modern day on Superman. While I admit to this looking promising (and much better than Bryan Singer‘s dull-as-f**k love-letter, Superman Returns), it seems that every superhero movie these days throws out the words “dark”, “gritty”, and “realism” and expects this take to translate into a good film but that is surely not always the result. Case and point, Green Lantern. Worst, bloated piece of crap I’ve seen in a long time.

What is your take on Man of Steel so far? Is Nolan’s involvement enough to offset Zack Snyder’s lackluster resumé? Can Superman finally be a three dimensional character or will he instead be allowed to use cheeseball MacGuffins like spinning around the world so fast that he turns back time? Take a look at the trailer and let me know what you think.
