Krypto the Super Dog had a big part in the trailer. When I saw that, I was hopeful that the writer/director would go back to the comic book roots.
It was a disaster when Warner bought DC. While Marvel movies made movie versions of the comic books, DC movies makes Warner Brothers versions of Warner Brothers movies featuring DC characters. This goes all the way back to 1978, I am afraid. They NEVER got Superman right.
You can do brooding, OCD Batman, who will never get over his parents’ death, and is driven, but rarely joyful. While Superman (with the exception of a few short interruptions) was always upbeat. Yeah, his planet was destroyed, but the Kents were great parents, he likes his work environment, and he has Superpowers, so he can make a Fortress of Solitude with his bare hands out a solid Arctic wall. He LIKES being Superman most of the time.
Think Ewoks.
As Mel Brooks’ Yoghurt put it...
“Merchandising, merchandising! Where the real money from the movie is made,”
Yeah.
Good luck with that, too, Hollyweird.
