We Have a Supergirl Trailer!
The first trailer for the Supergirl movie came out today and it looks pretty excellent! I had to watch it on my phone since I’m at work, but I think I got the jist. Great song choice. Great character introduction. Really sets her apart from Superman.
The movie will be based on the Woman of Tomorrow mini-series by Tom King, which is phenomenal! There are some references to the comic in the trailer, like the inclusion of Krypto and Ruthye, but the trailer is a very different vibe from the tone of the comic. I trust DC to pull this off expertly. And I hope we get a lot of the pathos from the comic in the movie. It’s a good one.
Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26.

Here’s a Fun Little Krypto Cartoon Short
To coincide with the Superman movie releasing digitally this week, DC and Warner Bros. have put together this little Krypto cartoon short. It’s only about 5 minutes long and is perfectly harmless fun, starring the movie version of Kypto and not any of the multitude of other animated Kryptos from the past. Watch it while you can, because it may get taken down at some point.
See? Harmless fun.
I only saw the Superman movie once in theaters, so I’ll probably grab a digital download at some point and watch again at home. I still want to catch Fantastic Four a second time in theaters if I can…
There will be a few more Krypto shorts coming along for the holidays, I think…

6 Thoughts on Superman (Review)
This review is about two weeks late and I apologize for that. Such is life, eh? Anyway, I saw Superman opening weekend in the theater and had a blast. I was very much looking forward to this movie and had nothing but faith in James Gunn to deliver, and he did so in spades. Great film!
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great
I was mostly lukewarm on all the DCEU movies. I didn’t care for Man of Steel and, even though I think I’ve only seen it that one time in theaters, I just don’t care for it. I probably enjoyed Joss Whedon’s Justice League more than Zack Snyder’s Justice League. I enjoyed both Aquaman movies. But I am more than ready for James Gunn to deliver a new, better DC Cinematic Universe. Let’s hope they’re all as good as Superman.
Join me after the jump for my full review and thoughts on Superman. Expect SOME SPOILERS for the movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

The hype has been building all week and the trailer is finally here! Our first look at James Gunn’s Superman movie!
I dig it! I like almost all of the elements in this trailer and I am fully on board with this vision of Superman. I’m fully on board with everything James Gunn wants to do or would like to do. I don’t think he has ever led me astray. So bring it on!
I loved Krypto. I loved the look of Superman and pretty much all of the characters. I dig the tone. And we don’t know much of anything yet, so it definitely counts as just a teaser. We see a ton of stuff in this trailer and all of it looks good to me.
The only thing I don’t like is the reliance on the original Superman movie theme and any of that imagery. I know that everybody loves those original Christopher Reeves movies…but I don’t really care about them. And I don’t want every single new Superman adaptation to be beholden to them. I know that musical score is fantastic…but c’mon. This was a great chance to be wholly original. Ah well. I’m never going to win that argument.
Superman comes to theaters on July 11.
