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

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...

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.
This isn't entirey true since Batman/Robin is pretty clearly influenced by '66 TV series.
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.
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.
Luthor could be wicked smart but Superman's brain alone would be on the millionth level IQ, imagine the brain power needed to not juts navogate during flight but to process superspeed.
Breaking in into the Fortress should be nigh impossible for any human, even Luthor.
They are already inside, that means the Fortress security is breachable, and that shouldn't be.

Clearly you don't know Luthor who has matched wits and intellect with Superman and people smarter than Superman. Luthor's whole thing is being supersmart. It's his "superpower." Superman not so much. There are versions were he is, but not much in recent years.
Though Superman & Lois did imply that Kryptonians on Earth have some advanced mental attributes. Superman tells Lois in the first season’s interview scene that he has learned all of Earth’s languages. And both he and Tal-Rho were able to marshal the mental discipline to communicate in the backwards English of the inverse world, something humans couldn’t do.
Of course, that only applies to the show’s specific continuity. But I liked the idea, and how subtly it was woven in.
But yeah, Lex is usually portrayed as a next-level genius. In the current comics lore, I believe he’s supposed to be literally the smartest human alive.
Why? This is a movie. It needs conflict and a sense of peril and hero who's not gonna win every battle, I suppose there are people who just want two hours of Superman "winning" , but I cant imagine it being successful and entertaining.
And he has the Engineer with him.
