Must Watch: Superman Arrives in Stunning Full 'Man of Steel' Trailer

by Ethan Anderton
December 11, 2012
Source: YouTube

If those two teaser trailers for Zack Snyder's new take on Superman with Man of Steel were a little too subtle and underwhelming for you, then this new full trailer for the DC Comics adaptation is for you. You'll believe a man can fly, and you just might believe we'll finally be getting the Superman that we've all wanted for years. Henry Cavill looks totally badass in action, and there's also Amy Adams showing up as Lois Lane. Plus, Michael Shannon gets some quick screen time as General Zod. The only thing that can make it better is if there's some sort of tie-in to Justice League. Either way, this trailer is incredible. Watch it now!

Here's the second, full-length trailer for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, in high def from YouTube:

A child sent to Earth from a dying planet is adopted by a couple in rural Kansas. Posing as a journalist, Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) uses his extraordinary powers to protect his new home from an insidious evil.

Man of Steel, the new DC Comics Superman reboot, is being directed by Zack Snyder, of Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen & Sucker Punch previously. Christopher Nolan is producing, and co-wrote the story with David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Unborn, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance), who wrote the script. Warner Bros is bringing Man of Steel to theaters everywhere on June 14th, 2013 next summer. You in?

Preferred the trailer I saw at Comic Con, but this was pretty incredible.
Rob

I already hate the camera work. Shaky camera like that works for emphasis for certain scenes, but when a whole movie uses it, it loses its impact. Also, the shot of him flying through the sky and the quick zoom is terrible. Genuinely hoping for the best though.
- jay
  
  I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but you're an idiot.
- cg
  
  The whole trailer didn't have "shaky camera work." I'd also wait to pass judgement until actually seeing the film, which I'm sure you will still go and see.

    To be fair, clamoring that it will be a triumph kinda falls into the same pit. Trailers are supposed to give you a glimpse. Its only natural to deconstruct yeah?
- Scopedog
  
  Well, can't please everyone, I guess....but honestly, where did you see the shaky camera work? I didn't...but maybe I need new glasses....

i need to download this

Damn that was pretty awesome!
beevis

wow.....everything about that was epic.
- Scopedog
  
  It just _screamed_ "epic". Looks great. Keeping the fingers crossed that the trio of Snyder, Nolan, and Goyer can deliver the goods....but deep down, I believe they can.
  - beevis
    
    hey, i'm not even a huge superhero movie fan - but i'm real excited for this after that trailer.
    - Cody W
      
      When you're excited it makes me excited, and I'm so excited. I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!!!!!
- Cody W
  
  Seriously you stole my name what the hell?
Comy

Oh shit!! Was that Lisa Gerrard singing?
- https://www.youtube.com/user/AREM16137 Smurfman Sassafras
  
  Sounded like it was straight from Hans Zimmer's Gladiator days!
  - http://twitter.com/equustel Ali Miller
    
    Yeah, they used the Gladiator score.
  - AJ
    
    Yeah too much gladiator... I liked the one from the teaser more, the only negative about the trailer IMO
  - http://www.facebook.com/gshauger Geoffrey Shauger
    
    It's not the Gladiator score...it's Elegy from Immortal Memory...same singer though
    - https://www.youtube.com/user/AREM16137 Smurfman Sassafras
      
      Well crap it sounds exactly like the score for Gladiator. Exactly.
- HyperJ
  
  Definitely a song from "Gladiator" - but tweaked. It is just trailer music.
Tomboy

eh...i don't know what to say. i'm stuck between two thoughts and those are "epic" and "i hope i don't get dissapointed again by Zack vis a vis Suckerpunch".
- saucy
  
  fortunately for you, the only reason why suckerpunch was garbage was because zack was the one who wrote it. he's a good director but a god awful writer.
  - Aaron Burns
    
    Yea I thought that movie was really impressive when it came to immersing the viewer into the action and the great camera angles/movements he used, but the story was total shit. hahaha
Matthew

Looks great!
Rain Spider

In Nolan We Trust. This guy definitely needs to be in charge of the Justice League movie.
- buzzfunk
  
  Sure you do. Because the Dark Knight wasn't full of plot holes and whatnot. Right.
  - Blargh
    
    Go away troll. Hit on Rises for it's plot holes if you like but The Dark Knight was a fantastic movie. Period.
    - HarryFiddleSticks
      
      He never mentioned Rises
    - Roger Ebert
      
      The Dark Knight was one of the best films of all time ... period

    Damn Marvel fans, we still with this argument? Good business is better for both families. Let the hate go don't keep it inside or you'll never be happy. Btw...I'm thinking you're blind because I have a gut feeling you'll say Avengers didn't have any holes. lmao
  - ocp
    
    Holy shit you mean there is a movie with plot holes, say it ant so buzz lightyear.
  - Guest
    
    Plot holes don't mean it's a bad movie, kid.
  - Logan
    
    They all have plot holes. I just want to see the first movie on the road to Justice League. DC needs to gamble more like Marvel has. Marvel is the reason why DC has finally decided to follow in their footsteps. Bring on the rest of the Justice League!!
- http://twitter.com/WeAreHolograms Steven Morgan
  
  Zack Snyder is directing the movie not Nolan. Nolan is producing. At least give credit to the director for his trailer that came out. Try not to be so obsessed with Nolan
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=582332408 Sean Page

OMG looks beautiful!
Duane

Dammit. I was hoping not to like this. even though i am one of the few that thought watchmen was genius. Im in.
- Aaron Burns
  
  Especially the Ultimate version of Watchmen. That thing is basically a frame for frame version of the comic. That film is one of the most under rated films ever in my opinion.
  - http://twitter.com/WeAreHolograms Steven Morgan
    
    Original version of Watchmen left me disappointed but I really want to see the ultimate edition
  - Scopedog
    
    The fact that Snyder managed to get WATCHMEN done and that he was so damned faithful to the comic impressed the hell out of me. I agree with you that it's underrated, and it doesn't deserve that.
http://www.recycledmistakes.com/ Ricardo J C Marques

Holly crap Nolan is the producer? Hadn't noticed yet... Snyder and Nolan working together... This is going to be awesome...
- David Darida
  
  Nolan was working on TDKR during the production of Man of Steel...so I don't know how much of his insight is gonna appear.
  - http://www.recycledmistakes.com/ Ricardo J C Marques
    
    I love what Snyder has done alone... so anything Nolan can bring to the table will be a bonus...
Noe

The word I'm looking for isn't "sold". It's "goosebumps".
Amanda Wade

compelling. The world seems more grounded, but not overly dark, maybe taking notes from Nolan. Though I'm disappointed that they haven't really showcased any of the science fiction elements of the Superman mythos, the fact that the film is looks to be essentially about the ramifications of Clark's existence in a world that may not be ready for him has definitely got my attention.
- http://twitter.com/equustel Ali Miller
  
  What do you mean? The trailer showed spaceships, Krypton exploding, Jor-El and Lara, Superman flying into space - looked plenty sci-fi to me.
- Scopedog
  
  Well...they only had a minute or two! Still, there were shots of spaceships, Zod...the real meat, the SF elements, will certainly make it into the final film. We'll see.
Guest

They should have stuck with The Thin Red Line music. . . But that was pretty awesome nevertheless.
tonker

" what do you think..? " a hook and a half that one
Hockeyguy1703

Is this the trailer that is supposed to come with the Hobbit?
- Hockeyguy1703
  
  It was amazing BTW
- David Darida
  
  Yes
ion677

This is one of the few trailers I've ever watched multiple times. Looks REALLY good.
Xerxexx

I peed a little....Snyder did it!
- avi
  
  great!!!! hahaha
- Scopedog
  
  The man sure can handle superheroes, I can tell you that!
  - Manuel
    
    Watchmen is a great movie.
    - john p
      
      Watchmen was a great movie ... for a tiny niche ... but lacked universal appeal or even moderate appeal. Great for fans, but a death sentence for those who produced the film.
- David Banner
  
  You should get that checked out, it might not be as cute as you think. The examination takes 5-10sec max

FUCKING HELL THAT LOOKED GREAT-and I'm not even a Superman fan

Tey

It's Snyder's film for Fuck sakes! stop giving Nolan all the credits! God the Nolan fanboys reached a new low!
- http://www.facebook.com/gshauger Geoffrey Shauger
  
  Yeah...the producer plays no part in the process
  - http://www.roamandthink.com/ PBGray
    
    I wouldn't say "no part." They campaign for the budget, approve the story line and the script, they pretty much hire nearly everybody, including the director (with studio approval). If a producer disagrees with what the director is doing, they can have the last say. In this particular case, with Nolan's history, I'm sure he had a lot of pull. However, he was also heavy in TDKR. But, I bet he was highly involved in dailies, but from a distance.
Raymond

The best superhero film we're yet to see is actually Man Of Steel, I'm looking forward to this very much.
Tester

I usually complain of videos going over 2mins, but I didnt even notice this time and wished it was longer.. I gotta admit that this is a pretty cool well done video, totally caught my attention and now really looking forward to this movie

Isildur_of_Numenor

Judging from the comments I must be crazy not to watch this trailer. But that's my practice: never watch trailers for movies I'm already sold on before the trailer comes out. And this is one of them.
- Manuel
  
  Excellent choice, I couldn't with my inner hype. It's a great trailer.
  - Isildur_of_Numenor
    
    Stop teasing me!
    - Manuel
      
      It's totally in slowmo, lens flares, green screens everywhere... better?
      - Isildur_of_Numenor
        
        Hmmmm...actually this sounds way better than before. Now I have to see it! )
- Scopedog
  
  Well, you're a stronger person than me!
Manuel

Goosebumps. The fly scene, with the fist on the floor and the turn over the Earth. That's Superman.
http://www.roamandthink.com/ PBGray

Start counting the doubters, because they will be few. Looks incredible. This is a must watch.
DAVIDPD

This is how a trailer should be done. Lots of snippets with no context. Excellent. Consider me pumped.
Pendy16

I wasn't sure about the direction they were taking with this film, but this trailer is all kinds of badass! I'm sold.
TheRagingCajun

Official goosebumps at 2:17..... Badass trailer. God damnit if Nolan ain't the man in Hollywood right now. Everything he touches turns to gold..... Fuck anyone who knocks him, they're just jealous or natural born haters. Period.
Elbak

I had to watch that three times in a row. This is the Superman I want to see.
UnknownX

YEAH ! YEAH ! YEAH !!

Now thats what I'm talking about!!!!!!!
Jeremy p.

Please realize that this is a Zack Snyder Film and not a Nolan film, sure he helped but it's not his film, if you look at the shots and the way it's filmed it screams Snyder, not completely discrediting Nolan, all I'm saying is be aware of that before giving all the credit to him when most of it goes to Snyder.
- notalent
  
  Well, to be fair, Zack Snyder's only truly awful film was Sucker Punch. A film that was co-written by him. So it's safe to say that shouldn't happen again with this.
  - Scopedog
    
    Agreed. And Nolan obviously felt that Snyder was the right choice to direct this.
  - Squiggly_P
    
    I'm torn on Suckerpunch. It's not a good movie or anything, but I can't really consider it a complete failure. The main flaw with that movie is that it doesn't follow through on it's own metaphor, and that the action sequences are redundant. I think there's a decent cut of Suckerpunch that just hasn't been cut together yet. Anyway, that film was risky as hell, and I feel like he came THAT CLOSE to pulling it off. As far as comic adaptations go, tho, thus far he's got a pretty amazing record, and I don't see Superman being any different - especially after this trailer.
- nate
  
  You do realize that it is a nolan film because he was a creative producer on the project and basically developed the story and guided it the way he wanted. He didn't just slap his name on it.
- vanz
  
  That's why I'm afraid this film will flop ... Nolan has more talent in his fingernail than Mr. Snyder will ever have
T1103

This looks as epic as Watchmen, This kicks Super Man Returns and does it 100 times over again, wow i am sold!
http://www.facebook.com/objection89 Miguel Angel Portela

I love it! But something about the actor himself bugs me and I'm not sure why. I hope I just get over it.
Tim

jesus christ that was amazing. so pumped for it.
David Darida

Just realized, when looking at the biggest and most epic fights in the movies, Neo vs. Smith from Matrix Revolutions has not been beaten yet...and it's almost 10 years...
- https://www.youtube.com/user/AREM16137 Smurfman Sassafras
  
  Is Matrix Revolutions the only movie you have ever seen in your entire life?
  - David Darida
    
    The fact that you didn't understand that movie doesn't mean you have to shit on it...
    - http://www.facebook.com/gshauger Geoffrey Shauger
      
      So there's an explanation to the movie that doesn't make the fight lame?
- http://www.facebook.com/gshauger Geoffrey Shauger
  
  That fight was pretty meh to be honest
  - David Darida
    
    All I see is a poor reaction, not an example of a better fight...
- Scopedog
  
  Heh...look at it this way--perhaps the Neo vs. Smith fight from REVOLUTIONS (which was damned awesome) could be the prototype for the fight between Supes and Zod....maybe.
http://twitter.com/davide_coppola Davide Coppola

Goosebumps! Could this be the best superhero film? Gorgeous aesthetic, powerful music and attention to detail, I really hope the film is like this trailer promises us.
It'saSoapOperaForBoys

All I care about is agent Van Alden is in it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhaOsF7F050 Kneel before Zod!

What sells me even more is the answer Jonathan Kent gave Clark(Kal-el) when Clark says "what was I supposed to do let them die" and Jonathan says "Maybe!!" wow.

Whe was that in a tunnel looking out towards the explosion?

Who was that in the tunnel looking out towards the explosion. Looks like a female with long hair and a cape as well... Uhh

Who was that figure in the tunnel looking towards the explosion. Seems to be a female with a cape as well. Uhh ?

Maybe it's the trailers, but is this Clark Kent a hobo and not an employee of the Bugle?

The first superman trailer was AWFUL, this one is passable at best. I don't doubt that the movie will be good, I'll be seeing it in the theater, but these trailers BLOW.

  It sure as hell knocked me over....hope the film delivers--but with the talent behind and in front of the camera, it should.
Riki

I can't help but be wary due to the cheesiness that is the costume. I know that's part of Superman, but everything looks so epic, and then the costume enters the screen.

Holy Cow! This is going to be insane...now there are at least two great movies coming out in 3013, this and "Star Trek". Now, when do we get another "Iron Man" trailer?

I meant 2013, of course...guess it's time to replace the keyboard!

  Hans Zimmer is the man...and he's doing the score to this movie.
Wafffles

So much focus on his father and how he influenced the man he grew up to be/whether the world should know his identity reminds me of Dexter, albeit in reverse (who should live instead of who should die). Just an observation. Looks very promising
https://www.youtube.com/user/AREM16137 Smurfman Sassafras

In case you liked the music from the Comic-Con footage they showed, I added that music (+ voice overs) to the new trailer here: http://youtu.be/HA0Sbd1P3iE

LOOKS AMAZING!!! only downside, I bought tickets to the 12am showing of the Hobbit to see this. Is this the Hobbit prelude trailer for Man of Steel?

looks awesome but with superman they always tell the same story! It's reboot after reboot!

Count me in! I wasn't interested until I saw that trailer; now I can't wait!

What just happened....did I just become a DC fan over Marvel??!!!!

Looks good. Can't believe I'm saying that about a Superman movie. Michael Shannon is in it too. Bonus.

Wow. I was interested, but now I'm damn excited! And I can't wait to see what Michael Shannon does with Zod!
Payne by name

I've more faith in Snyder than I do in Nolan.
- Guest
  
  Yeah...Nolan's resume includes such duds as Momento, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises and Inception....what a bunch of duds....WHAT A HACK!!!
  - Payne by name
    
    I have more faith because I've enjoyed more films of Snyder's than Nolan's. I don't rate the films I enjoy by how the rest of the world rates them.
BinaryChaos

Looks good but did anyone notice that Henry Cavill chest hair sticking out of the suit at frame 2:11, lol, I've always known Superman to be clean cut that's kind of weird. Overall, great trailer I'm looking forward for more to come.

I just miss one little thing, John Williams Music... Man... Please don't let me be wrong, but maybe Snyder finally scored...
- beevis
  
  you didn't like "dawn of the dead" remake or "300"?
  - D.
    
    Dawn of the Dead it's good, but after this movie Snyder started to use slow motion (too much slow motion)... The picture it's always great, but the direction and plot it's weak all the time.
Richie G

Well, keeping my expectations low is getting pretty tough. Please let this be good
Bob

I hope Man of steel breaks avatar records.
- Payne by name
  
  I agree. To be fair I'd like any film with a decent script/storyto beat a film that only broke box office records because it was a new fad.
  - Guest
    
    It actually set the record because it was a good film...hence the high score at RT and the numerous awards it won.
    - Payne by name
      
      It was cliched and formulaic.
Payne by name

I'm really impressed with the trailer, the use of music, the backstory, it all looks great. It's almost like the film is perfect at the moment with where I imagine it could go yet actually seeing anymore of it could make it become just like all the other pap that comes out. I guess the trailer is designed to elicit this feeling of 'could this be the interpretation that I've dreamed of seeing'. So far, it's giving me that. There's something pure about Supe, the feeling of him being a great man that you could believe in implicitly. Like he could be the distillation of all the things that humans wish they could be but aren't. I'm finding the trailer very thought provoking and emotional.
diggy381

I really like the concept of exploring the idea of Superman being an alien with powers that people very much fear at first before he proves his intentions. In the real world if someone like that actually existed it would definitely invoke fear before people would actually embrace him as a "hero". Very interesting take on a story that has always been told (cinematically) from the standpoint of people loving him and never at all worried or scared that he could turn on them. I like it!
