Kryptonite is over used and over exposed. I'm glad it's gone for now.

I would like to see it in future movies, but as something so completely rare. The mentality that there is a seriously limited amount of this substance laying on Earth, and if you can get a snippet of it, Superman is done for. The only thing non-super powered people (Luthor on his own) can hope for when Zod and these types leave. But it's a small percentage of hope. But to stop a Superman....it's all there is.

You could have Luthor sending and spending lots of money on teams hunting for traces of it - also relying more heavily on the synthetic stuff once they get a bit of it to examine, making their own.

If we have crazy action where Superman and Zod are doing things only they can do, I'll be a happy. I want fist pumping destruction.

It's interesting how they're going for Superman being susceptible to human tragedy instead; I only hope they don't make this "emotional kryptonite" aspect too melodramatic.

Absolutely agreed.

All of the points you guys have made are terrific.

I have a feeling this new SuperMan film is going to knock it out of the park. I'm so looking forward to seeing it, I can't wait.

Let me just say something: Kevin Costner is going to give an amazing performance in this. Mark my words.

It looks good, but a bit too self-serious at this point.  Not that I want cotton candy, bad one-liners, and camp--but the feelings evoked by most of Iron Man 1 is what I'd like in a Superman film.  I'd like a hell of a good ride, with a mostly grounded story, and all of the magic realism surrounding Superman/Krypton.  For now.    This looks close--the cast looks great, but I'm tired of whispered-to-be-taken-seriously dialogue, platitudes about becoming a man, etc. etc.  It just feels like we're retreading over some already established territory either with Superman in other media, or with comic book caped heroes in general.  That said, I'm going to give it a shot, of course. 

Agreed. That sort of thing is becoming a snooze-fest.

As long as MOS doesn't have stuff like:

1. Superman spinning the Earth backwards
2. Wiping memories via kissing
3. Superman throwing cellophane S's
4. Rebuilding/repairing objects just by looking at them

I'll be cool.

Don't worry I'm sure it'll have plenty of unconvincing/over the top cgi flying! lol

Let's hope it keeps the unconvincing/over the top flying and/or rear projection stuff to a minimum as well.

Aww c'mon dude I'm joking. Lighten up lol And just how is any form of a man in a red cape flying well not over the top? lol And isn't green screen technology merely an updated form of rear projection anyway?
