‘Superman’ flies in a new trailer and it looks. . . Strange

I try to keep up optimistic around James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film. I want DC to return. I want all the franchises to return: Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings. They all tumble together.

I was mostly very positive about the first trailer – much more hopeful than I was when Gunn showed the very bizarre first picture of Superman.

Much of this shorter TV spot is exactly the same as the first, only slimmed. But at last we get a brief glimpse of Superman (David Corenswet) flying over the snow and ice (pictured above). Although it is great to see our hero on the run, so are. . . Looks strange? There’s something wrong.

See for yourself:

Maybe it’s something with his eyes. Or his whole face. His face looks weird CGI here. The CGI is one of the things that worried me in the first trailer and it worries me again here. Maybe it’s just unfinished and we’ll see a more polished, less funky version at the release. I’m really not sure.

In any case, I will continue to be skeptical but open -minded. I have enjoyed a lot of what Gunn has made in the past – especially the first Guardians of the Galaxy Movies – but the strange CGI and the huge list of superheroes and villains and monsters worried me that there will be too much plot, too many moving pieces and possibly a little too much of Gunn’s brand of humor for this to be a satisfactory Restart. I hope I’m wrong at all points.
