The new SUPERMAN RETURNS trailer is now available via THIS LINK!
This is the official, longform trailer in all its glory.
I love the moments of visual poetry evident throughout this footage. And, do my ears deceive me, or do we hear Ottman's riff on John Williams' theme music early on in the trailer (before a snippet of...what is that...Horner's BRAINSTORM)?
One of the biggest problems I've had with superhero movies is that many have failed to address their mythos in an artistically satisfying manner; they've felt like simplistic "point and shoot" endeavors instead of treating their material with creative legitimacy (BATMAN BEGINS being one of the more successful efforts towards such ends).
In the same vein, there are a few shots here that are truly beautiful - no matter what the outcome of the film of the whole. Superman and Lois rising in front of the Daily Planet globe...Superman curving around the Earth towards the sun...perfect, cinematic moments when taken on their own. Let's hope Singer and Co. sustain such quality throughout...
