The last time that a Superman movie graced the screen was 7 years ago with Superman Returns. Superman has been a fairly popular superhero, but for me he has never been one that has stood out. The biggest reason is the costume. The style and the color never seemed to draw my attention. He looked like a bland superhero. Because of this, he was never one superhero that I was interested in checking out. I saw a few of his appearances here and there, but never felt drawn to check more of him out.
With that said, that could easily change with Man of Steel arriving in cinemas next week. They have given the character a modern update, with the costume going with a different modern look, and giving it a texture that seems rather cool in my opinion, and it ditches the underwear on the outside, which I never seemed to find appealing in superheros. I feel that they have modernized Superman by doing all this, and this helps for Superman to gain new fans.
The other thing that will help is that Christopher Nolan is the producer, who has worked on the Dark Knight Trilogy, which all those movies are great, and with everyone already impressed with how he dealt with the reboot of Batman, then they will want to know how he will deal with the reboot of another iconic superhero. The rest of the team is impressive as well. Also, there was an epic trailer that was released a couple of months ago that really gained attention. You can view that trailer by clicking here.
With everything that I have seen from Man of Steel, I am already very interested in seeing this new reboot of the franchise and will definitely catch it opening weekend, and maybe even the midnight showing. I even feel that this reboot will get new fans and possibly may help them want to go back and check out some of Superman's former adventures. I may look up a bit myself. Keep in mind, that this is all my opinion on the character in the past, feel free to share your thoughts.
