I hope you're happy that I sent you a link to something that was neither Russian military hardware nor a website for a fetish so obscure it was hardly identifiable as sexual.

Eh? Yes, there are a few bits a third of the way through that match up fairly well, but there are also a hell of a lot of other bits that don't match at all.

How do you fancy the chances of Man of Steel being any good? I thought the last Superman film was sort of dull and pointless despite some very good casting, mainly because of the character of Superman himself - but perhaps I'm being unfair...?

The last one was decidedly not good, but the first two Reeves movies were both great fun. So I think it entirely depends on having a good writer and director.

Which makes it possible in this case, particularly as the trailer looks like fun.

Yeah, fair enough.

Did I miss it, or did the trailer not mention who's written this at all? I always find it very odd that people advertising movies apparently expect us to care more about the producer than the writer. I don't think most people even really get what producers do.

David S Goyer. Who has a...variable quality to his writing:
