Re: The Man of Steel

I hope they don't try too hard to be too different. I mean were not even getting an S curl.

Bad Ass Digest:

Possible Man of Steel spoilers follow.

JJ Abrams continues to dance around the question of just who is the villain in Star Trek Into Darkness. Nobody believes that the guy is really named John Harrison (middle names Paul Starky), but the charade continues. It continues in the form of a lot of out and out lies.

Meanwhile, a rumor broke recently that Man of Steel will have a cameo at the end - Joseph Gordon-Levitt will show up as the new Batman and pave the way for the Justice League movie. When reached for comment, JGL's people denied, as they will do. That denial didn't mean much.

Movieline briefly spoke to Nolan and asked him about that rumor. His response:

"I can't talk about that. You know that."

And he said it with a smile. Perfect.

That's how you do it. Earlier this year, Marion Cotillard did it wrong by flat out denying she was Talia in The Dark Knight Rises. Lying, besides being immoral, is just crass. This isn't national security. You don't want to spoil the movie, obviously, but there are ways to avoid the question that are elegant, that are honest and that are, most of all, fun. A well-spoken sidestep, like Nolan's, is fun. It's actually playful, which is unusual for Nolan.

By the way, if the JGL cameo is true, that's a legitimate spoiler. The name of your villain is not.

It certainly can be! It depends on the villain, and when in the course of the plot the identity of the villain is revealed. If you saw a trailer for The Usual Suspects that mentioned Kevin Spacey was playing Keyser Söze, would that have impacted your enjoyment of the film? What about if you saw Anthony Perkins credited as Norman/Norma Bates? The nature of the story could demand that they keep this a secret. If the reveal of Cumberbatch's identity is an important plot point, then they are protecting the mystery and surprise of the film by not revealing it. It could very well be a spoiler.
 
Re: The Man of Steel

Have to admit, never been the biggest Superman fan, but this 2nd trailer really has me excited to see more...looks good....and I'm certainly curious to see how, if it all, they incorporate a Batman/JL reference.

I think it's pretty clear that the marketing for this film so far has been trying to get the non-Superman fans on board

In that respect seems to be working great so far

And it's pretty smart too - the Superman fans will see this regardless
