The first teaser trailer for Man of Steel was revealed before The Dark Knight Rises this past week – and it looks very good. Ever since Snyder picked up the Superman franchise – I’ve been skeptical as to what he would do with it. After seeing the teaser before my IMAX viewing of The Dark Knight Rises – I felt a bit assuaged. Snyder looks to be anchoring the myth in Clark Kent’s humanity which has always been the key to making Superman relatable – so I am on Snyder’s side. Join MVP in anticipating the upcoming Superman reboot next year by enjoying the Man of Steel teaser today. Check it out!
