    Man of Steel trailer 3 is still tops for me, I posted it in this thread.

The most recent Superman movie by Gunn is the Superman movie I’ve wanted every since the original Superman the Movie with Reeve.

I feel like the Superman from Gunn’s movie is kinda underpowered and a little too “normal quirky funny nerd guy” rather than the straight-edge force of nature I feel like JLU Superman is. I feel like MoS almost got that, but then injected a bunch of sadness and desaturation which brought it down a bit
