Blue Tights, Red Cape

If you didn't catch it last night, click here to get a peek at the Superman Returns teaser trailer.  It's available for download to either PSP or iPod right now if you want, or just straight to the computer.  Goes to show you how powerful moveable media can be these days that one of the most anticipated movies of next year is being marketed towards such a specific format.  Interesting.
 
Couple of thoughts.  I saw it first-hand last night via the wonders of TiVo and the synchronicity of Smallville and thought, "What a nice trailer."  It didn't really blow me away, it didn't leave me cold, but it was a good set up.  There's not many clear close ups of the Man himself nor of Mr. Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, but a great shot of the Daily Planet and of some Kansas cornfields.  Anticipation is high that they might return some luster to the franchise just as they did with Batman Begins so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  Everything I've seen so far from the casting to the costume has been quite promising and positive, so pessimism for me will be at a low.  With the mixed quality of most superhero-based movies these days, you're either going to get Spider-man or the Punisher
 
Please let this be the former.

Diversity strikes in the form of more comic book character & movie mentions?! Haha, j/k. Superman's hot. :)
