Anyhoo - Here's Rachel Brosnahan doing Joan Rivers jokes.

Millennials have no attachment to the Reeve films and neither does GenZ and that’s assuming they even know the film even exists.

Go to YouTube and type in 'Superman 1978 Reactions' and get back to me on that.

Get back to you on what? There are more people in my apartment building than there are reaction videos for that on YouTube ffs. That you’re suggesting that’s even remotely a measuring stick of anything in a nation of 340 MILLION people is just strange.

You're making a broad sweeping generalization about what Millennial and GenZ watch or don't watch and if they care about it or not.
I'm 55, the second oldest person in my store, everyone else is GenZ or Millennial and they've watched movies, tv, music from my era or older.​

Revisiting the trailer - I think it was a bold choice to show Lois and Clark as people who would defraud their employer and the people via a faked interview.

so very traditional in that sense.

;-)

Having rewatched the trailer, I'm coming around to the suggestion that it's just a practice interview with Clark "pretending" to be Superman to help Lois rehearse. But yeah, Clark reporting on Superman stories while hiding his connection to the subject matter -- or Lois doing so once she's in the loop -- is an ethical conundrum the fiction rarely addresses.

Indeed. A few YouTube reaction videos are in no way proof of widespread interest in a film to the degree suggested around here.

Meh, I'm none of those generations and I like it fine.

What I'm personally sick and tired of is the ubiquitous use of the cliche "shove it down our throats" being used to describe the overuse of elements in popular culture that irritate us or just don't suit our tastes. You don't have to be Freud...

Pretty sure Gunn has made it clear the Williams theme is used in the actual film. Which, tedious and repetitive handwringing aside, is the best possible decision on that front.

OK, I'm cool with it, and I don't understand why so many people have a problem with it. It's become a regular thing for the new versions of classic characters to include callbacks to earlier versions. For me this is no different from Linda Carter in WW'84, or all of the returning Flash actors in the CW series.
And I'm sure there will be plenty of other new music the movie.

Agreed.



You can bet that's never going to happen, since every live action Batman film--from Burton/Schumacher to Nolan to Snyder to Reeves--were never going to use that TV theme to color the films, or suggest any association with the Dozier series.

This isn't entirey true since Batman/Robin is pretty clearly influenced by '66 TV series.

If the Williams music is only used in the trailer, then its misleading. That said, some comments here indicated the Williams music is used in the new film.

It's really not at all, trailers are constantly using music and things like that that aren't in the final movie.

I thought James Gunn confirmed that Lois and Clark were already dating when the movie starts and that she knew Clark was Superman?
If so, this is a flashback sequence.

Yes to the former, no to the latter. He has played it coy about the specifics of that.

 

[Noname Given]

Oh, OK. I just figured since he mostly operates in Metropolis that it would be pretty much common knowledge that he lived there.

Clark lives there. Superman (when he IS Superman) is not using Clark Kent's identity documents.

Is it me or do Hollywood writers not have any clue how modern opsec actually works?
A modern mid level corporate office has better security than Kryptonian tech Fortress of Solitude.
Anybody can just walk in inside Superman's top secret high tech hideout.

It's not a movie about modern opsec. It's about a guy from another planet who's arch enemy is a mad scientist. Luthor can waltz into just about any building on or off Earth because he's wicked smart.

If you're talking about the Donner films or Superman Returns, maybe. But the trailer for this film hasn't shown us enough of its Fortress sequence to allow drawing any conclusions about how Luthor manages to get in.

You also seem to have missed the fact that Luthor and the Engineer are battling the Fortress's security robots and Krypto. Clearly they were not allowed to simply walk in.
