I'd like to see Del Toro start production on HellBoy III after this film is released.

I like Guillermo Del Toro. He's a very imaginative filmmaker. His three best films are Blade II, Pans Labrinyth, and HellBoy. I like the idea of Pacific Rim; GIANT MONSTERS vs GIANT ROBOTS. It looks like it'll be pretty epic, a little dramatic, and a lot of fun so I'm anticipating this film. Mostly everything released by Legendary Pictures is great, and Del Toro is a damn good filmmaker so I'm in for this film.

This film will be awesome. Wally Phister is the reason Chris Nolan's films look so good. He has been Nolan's Cinematographer for all his films except for Following and Doodlebug. I'm happy that Phister will finally get his chance to shine with Transcendence which will be his directorial debut. It won't hurt that Depp is starring either. This film should be interesting as it will explore the Singularity theory in which man becomes one with machine. It'll be awesome, and I can't wait.

@bawnian-dexeus My whole thing is that Marvel Studios has already made 6 films, including the Avengers, that are in one universe. All those films with the exception of the Incredible Hulk have planned sequels before 2015. Along with Guardians of the Galaxy we're talking about 11 films by 2015 that will be set in the same universe. Marvel Studios is pumping out quality films left and right, and DC is severely falling behind. My point is, it would be stupid of Warner Bros to not use the success of Nolan's Batman trilogy as the foundation for their cinematic universe. The films were highly successful, and it would be quite redundant for DC and Warner to retread over that story and reboot the character. With Nolan having wrote the story for Man of Steel it only makes sense for Warner and DC to combine Nolan's Bat trilogy and the upcoming Superman film to make one cohesive cinematic universe. If they keep lolly-gagging around Marvel Studios is going to takeover the comic-book film genre. They need to compete with Marvel Studios, and they only way for them to do so is to use the success of Nolan's Batman trilogy and combine it with Snyder's Man of Steel to lay a foundation for a Justice League franchise. Marvel Studios is on a roll, and if they keep going at this pace they'll have 20 films out in 7 years that all take place in one universe. I think we as fans can forgive continuity when it comes to comic book adaptations. Even Marvel Studios films have their flaws as far as continuity. I just want to see DC compete with Marvel Studios, before they monopolize the comic-book film genre.

I just watched the trailer again. When the suit is first shown and Superman is walking on the ice with his cape moving with the wind, and he kneels on the ground and just launches into the air flying with great speed is completely epic. I know Zack Snyder, David Goyer, and Chris Nolan are going to do Superman justice. I can't wait to see this film.

@ejk1 Oh trust me, I know Campbells GL was terrible. In every aspect that film was a complete let-down. But at least the origins of the character are established. There is no need for DC and Warner Bros to retread over that story. Rather they should establish the Hal-Jordan character in a Justice League film where he was left off in Campbell's film; but without Ryan Reynolds, I cannot take that guy seriously at all. Bruce Wayne obviously isn't dead so they can easily bring him into the mix; although I doubt Christian Bale would return to play Batman they can find a replacement. Snyder's Superman will be an awesome "non-Batman" film for sure, and Henry Cavill I think is a talented actor who would join a Justice League film and could anchor DC's cinematic universe. So in a way, they've laid the foundation for a Justice League film, they just need to follow-through and execute. If they fail to properly make a Justice League film, Marvel Studios Avengers will dominate the Comic-book film genre for years to come and DC will be left behind.

I'm not a fan of Smallville. I remember watching several episodes of the first season but I never got into it really. It didn't feel like a legitimate portrayal of Clark Kent, and I couldn't quite accept the idea of Kent and Lex Luthor knowing each other before Kent become Superman, and then in the films there was no hint that Luthor and Kent knew each other. Plus I'm not a fan of television. I'm more into feature films, and I just didn't like Smallville all that much. It wasn't very exciting too me, and I just found it to be very convuluted and uninteresting.

If DC and Warner Bros can find a creative consultant, similar to how Marvel is using Joss Whedon, and find a way to combine Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, Martin Campbells Green Lantern film, and this upcoming Superman film into one cohesive cinematic universe then DC and Warner will blow Marvel Studios out of the water. I would love to see the Bruce Wayne of Nolan's trilogy, Snyder's Superman, and the Green Lantern come together to form the Justice League. It would be completely idiotic of Warner Bros to not use the success of The Dark Knight trilogy as a foundation from expanding the DC universe. I know TDKR was the "conclusion" but really it was just the beginning in my opinion. It would be a stupid move on DC's part to utilize the success of Nolan's Batman trilogy and build off it with Man of Steel and lead it into a Justice League film. If they can do this then they will give Marvel Studios a run for their money. If they just act like Nolan's trilogy never happened and just make a Justice League film, Marvel will triumph over DC as far as film is concerned.

@therealGoku the last Superman movie with "origins" was in 1978 when Christopher Reeves was Superman. In 2006 Brian Singer's Superman Returns showed glimpses of Clark Kent in his youth, but it was not a geniune origin story nor was the 1978 film or its sequels. Snyder is actually doing a complete character study on Clark Kent and is showing how and why Kent decides to become the symbol of Superman. There has never really been a "character study" on Clark Kent or Superman, which is what was so interesting about Nolan's Batman films because he took the character of Bruce Wayne modernized him and showed the audience how and why he becomes Batman. Tim Burtons 1989 Batman film was similar to Richard Donner's 1978 Superman film in that both briefly examined the origins of the main characters, and kind of just did films about Batman and Superman respectively. I prefer character driven films over CGI infested "blockbusters" anyday of the week. I find Bruce Wayne to be just as interesting, if not more, than his alter-ego. I find Clark Kent to be just as interesting as Superman. Snyder is examining the character and doing a study as to how and why he becomes Superman which I find much more interesting than all-out-drag-out CGI fight between Zod and Superman the whole movie.

Awesome trailer! I know for a fact that this film will be epic, especially since Snyder and Co. will have several months to polish it in post production before its release. I think the movie will have plenty of action, enough for my taste anyway. @therealGoku Most great films, even superhero films, have substantial amounts of dialogue. Without a good character study and story films are not very good. If you don't like films that have alot of dialogue than I'd say you are not a fan of film. You love movies, not films. Snyder is making a Superman (film) not a Superman (movie). Look at Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy. It had plenty of dialogue, and it balanced it with great action which is what I know Snyder will be able to do with Nolan's story.

I'm hyped for the Avengers 2. What I'm really look forward too is the Guardians of the Galaxy and how it will lead into the Avengers sequel. Can't wait to see Thanos versus Hulk. That'll be f*cking awesome on the big screen.

I have faith in Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan to create an original, creative, artistic film adaptation of Superman. I do not expect it to be like Nolans Batman films, but I do expect another ground-breaking, modern, and realistic take on Clark Kent's origin story. @jasonkat I do think that a Justice League film can be made out of Nolans Batman and the upcoming Man of Steel film. It wouldn't be very difficult if Warner Bros can get its sh*t together, get some good writers, and cement a creative consultant who knows the ins and outs of the DC universe. It would be very dumb of Warner Bros too not utilize the success of Nolans Batman trilogy, expand on it, and incorporate the Green Lantern and upcoming Superman story. I think the Justice League movie will not do well if Warner and DC do not take advantage of the success they've had with Nolans retelling of Batman. The story ended, but there are many ways in which Bruce Wayne, not Christian Bale, could be brought back and implemented in a Justice League film without having to completely reboot Batman.

@ROFLitschristian Definitely. I thought Hardy's performance was nearly as great as Heath Ledger's Joker. Considering the character of Bane and the previous interpretation of the character in Batman and Robin I think Hardy really brought the character to life and his performance was iconic. Of course Bane and Joker are two totally different characters, and both bring very different elements to the screen, but I think Hardy did a great job acting out the character and making him menacing and very intimidating. Hell, Hardy had a mask on the whole time, but just his speech, mannerisms, and what he did with his eyes was a superb performance. At first I didn't like the idea of Bane being the villain, but when I was watching the film for the first time and saw how threatning and ominous Hardy's Bane was I was immediately sold.

@the MovieGhost Yeah man, when Bane says "Lets not stand on ceremony here...Mr. Wayne" I knew then and their Batman was about to get his ass handed to him and just the cinematography and how Nolan made the scene was epic. Come to think of it there was no music in the fight sequence itself, all you can here is punches and Batman yelling which made it even more engaging. It left me completely in awe.

Best sequence in TDKR hands down. I especially like how Nolan incorporated the "back-breaking" scene from the comics. Tom Hardy's Bane was very intimidating and monster-like in the sequence and his dialogue was pretty awesome as well. When I first saw it, I was shocked that Batman got beat-down to a pulp, it took me a few seconds to regroup; the sequence was that amazing. Its probably one of the most realistic, physical, and epic fight sequences I've ever witnessed. Great job Mr. Nolan.

@skywise that's a good point. The studios and filmmakers must maintain a balance between being loyal to comic-book fans and plain ole moviegoers. And I agree with your point that TASM could have been much better and the Lizard was very underdeveloped. Hopefully you are right about Electro, and Jaime Foxx will prove me and the many others wrong. It would be great to see an epic Spiderman movie, with an even more epic villain in Electro. But I simply don't think it will happen. I think I, and many others, will be disappointed by this sequel. Hopefully I'm wrong.

@skywise Comic-book films do best when they are original stories, detached from their source material. I like comic-book films that take stories from their source material and tweak them a bit while respecting the comic book. Kind of like how Nolan borrowed some story bits from Knightfall for TDKR, and even included the back-breaking moment while at the same time giving an original, plausible story specifically for the screen. But honestly, some things are best left in the comic books. A giant lizard trying to turn a city into giant lizards is one of those things. It just didn't click for me, and it didn't seem plausible at all. Most all comic book movies are not done exactly like the comic books, because sometimes the comic books are implausible, unrealistic, and frankly cheesy. The Lizard was a terrible villain in the movie. The best part was when he was exiting the sewers with his "Lizard formula" and the swat team shoots him down; he is wearing the lab-coat which is awesome and the swat guys poke him with the gun, his wounds heal, and he beats the sh*t out of all the guys. But then he releases the formula and they start turning into lizards. That is just f*cking retarded for a movie. For a comic-book that is an awesome concept, but for a film? Naa. And, if you think about it The Amazing Spiderman kind of stole a play out Batman Begins book. Ra's Al Ghul -"Ohh look at me I have this machine! I'm going to release this toxin through the city of Gotham and turn everyone into hallucinating crazy people and the city will tear itself apart." The Lizard - "Ohh look at me, I have this machine and I'm going to release this toxin all over New York city and turn everybody into Lizards." Trust for a film that claimed to not be a reboot, and claimed to be an untold story, and that untold story was about a giant lizard trying to turn people into giant lizards, The Amazing Spiderman blew ass. So will the sequel. Jaime Foxx's villain will be no more memorable than the Lizard.

@ejk1 Good point. Hell you should throw a Knight Tale in there and Brokeback Mountain. Most every actor has their questionable films and parts. But Ledger completely flipped the script in TDK. He took an iconic character and made it even more iconic. Jaime Foxx is about to play a character that is relatively unknown, and I don't think he will "flip the script" and create a memorable villain. Plus I'm just thinking to myself and I like Raimi's original Spiderman better than the Amazing Spiderman. Many will agree with me on this, it was just a better movie and there wasn't a giant lizard running around trying to turn everybody into lizards. Spiderman 2 is by far one of my favorite superhero films. I don't think Marc Webb will come close to making a better sequel than Raimi did. And more specifically, I don't see Foxx making a more memorable villain than Molina did with Doc Ock. I think The Amazing Spiderman 2 will be a waste of time for the filmmakers and the audiences that see it, because it will not be better than Raimi's Spiderman 2. If Sony doesn't plan on exceeding their previous trilogy in terms of quality than why are they even bothering making these new films? Oh yeah...because they want to keep the film rights to the character, because without the Spiderman franchise Sony would just be limping along. Spiderman is their bread-n-butter, but as I said before SONY IS F*CKING UP SPIDERMAN AND THE FILM RIGHTS NEED TO BE GIVEN TO MARVEL STUDIOS SO WE CAN SEE A REAL SPIDERMAN MOVIE. NOT 500 DAYS OF SUMMER WITH SPIDERMAN AND SOME CRAZY UNLIKABLE VILLAIN IN IT.

@ejk1 Ray is one of my favorite films, and I know Django Unchained will be one of my favorites when its all said and done; oh and I liked Foxx in Due Date. The man is funny and talented, but, I just don't see Jaime Foxx being a villain in a Spiderman movie; especially Electro. I just don't think I will take it seriously having the guy who played "ugly girl" on living color portraying a serious, dramatic, epic villain in the spidey sequel. I guess my lack of agreement has more to do with Electro being the villain of the sequel than it does with Jaime Foxx being selected to play the character. I honestly thought the Electro babble was simply rumor, and that the sequel go with Norman Osborn becoming the Goblin. But come to find out the Electro thing is true, and Jaime Foxx playing the character is true. I just can't envision Jaime Foxx playing a Spidey baddie, much less a lame ass character like Electro. I honestly think Sony is just coming up with the most convuluted stories they possibly can, so they can expand on those stories and keep the film rights to Spiderman. I honestly just want to see the rights go back to Marvel Studios so they can do the character justice, because when its all said and done Sony is just f*cking up Spiderman. I bet that The Amazing Spiderman 2 will be no where near as good as Spiderman 2. And Spiderman 3 will most likely be of the same quality as Spiderman 3 as Garfield will be like in his mid 30's. Hell, all they're doing is building the story up to introduce The Green Goblin in the third one which, in my opinion, is unnecessary because we've already seen that happen! Sam Raimi did in one movie, what Marc Webb is attempting to do in three movies. C'mon, the Amazing Spiderman had a f*cking Giant Lizard as its villain. He was a giant lizard trying to turn the city into giant lizards! That is whack man, and Jaime Foxx isn't change that. It was a giant lizard! And the fight scenes were terrible compared to Raimi's. Now there going to have a black guy, no offense because I'm half-black, who can absorb and generate electricity. The best parts of Superhero films are the villains in my opinion. I just don't envision Foxx delivering a memorable performance as a Spidey villain. I guess Health Ledger, Tom Hardy, and Tom Hiddleston have spoiled me. Sony is f*cking up Spiderman; plain and simple. Marvel Studios needs to be making these films not the guys who make playstations.

Oh great, another f*ck up in the form of Terminator 5. Terminator 3 and Terminator Salvation were perhaps some of the sh*ttiest films I've ever seen, considering how epic and awesome T1 and T2 were.
