Sonic Boom

I like the "Man of Steel" teaser (now online for real) a little better now than I did when it was letting me down in the theater by being a little too tease-ish. The atmosphere is killer and unexpected, and feels "mythic" once you realize what it is. I still feel like I'd be really nervous about it if I didn't already know that the broader film looks a lot more DC Universe and a lot less "Jeans Commercial."



If nothing else, it certainly puts to lie the idea that Snyder can't "do" a more restrained/naturalistic aesthetic... which I predict he will recieve precisely zero credit for, as the folks who'd previously been shitting on him as director will simply attribute it's quality to Holy Touch of Saint Nolan...

Minor editing thing, though: I think it would actually work better as a "reveal" if the title-card for the shield swapped places with the title-card for the title; I feel like kid-posing/logo/reveal/title would elicit a bigger "oh, shit!" from audiences than kid-posing/title/reveal/shield gets here - more of "gradual rise in iconography" flow.
