There was a lot of nerd-crying when the original teaser trailer for Man of Steel hit the interwebz (see it right here). People thought it looked too slow, too introspective… Personally I was looking forward to that sort of take on the Kryptonian mythos. To me Superman is unlike other superheroes; he isn’t human, he isn’t from this world, and his powers make him virtually a God among men. So his outlook on the world is very different, I have always pictured him as almost a tragic hero – the last of his people, with the burdens of an entire world weighing down on his shoulders.  

Luckily, while the latest trailer should put those initial fanboy concerns to rest it also still speaks to what is under the cape so to speak, which I feel will make for a very compelling story. I know it will be nice to see someone tackle how hard growing up must have been for young Clark Kent!

So here it is. Take a look and let me know what you think, will you be checking Man of Steel out? I know yours truly will be!
