I'm sorry, are you ok? Sometimes I shout when I get excited. You don't have to look at him really, but it would be nice if you did.
It is nice of Warner Bros. to give us this gift, though - neatly packaging the first glimpse of Cavillman in a tone representative of their ambition for the film itself, whilst simultaneously pre-empting the inevitable cameraphone set pics. It's just... how can you get excited for a Superman movie after Superman Returns? In that film Supes didn't seem too phased by the one thing that can hurt him, demonstrating how to not give a flying fuck by lifting a small continent laced with green kryptonite and surviving.
In the end it'll come down to the script and Cavill's ability to play Superman with the naive charm that made Christopher Reeve such a perfect choice during his stint. A good villain will help too, and whilst it's slightly depressing that WB have gone for the safe option with General Zod, at least it's not the tiresome Lex Luthor and his "comedy" antics - although if the fans are being sated so well this early into production, it wouldn't be a surprise if more of the vintage gang turned up. Just no cyborgs eh?
So anyway, about that picture. Cavill certainly fits the bill, with the strong, angular, all-American features and... hair... and is that a very slight cheeky grin? There aren't enough quips and put-downs in superhero movies these days, they should do more of that. But what's going on with the vault? If that's what Kryptonian super strength does to things you're meant to be saving, I'd hate to see the state of Supergirl's house during rag week.
I'm sorry.
