7. The Trailer That Understood

I must have watched both versions of the trailer about 20 times each now and they€™re still giving me goosebumps. You might have heard the news that some fans cried during its unveiling at ComicCon, while another less emotionally governed onlooker has been quoted saying €œany doubt I had was gone with that trailer€. What€™s caused this overt display of adulation? Well, simply put, the trailers seem to truly understand the character. Together the two alternate voice-overs by Crowe and Costner present a Clark Kent who is alien to our world, possesses the power of a demi-God but who€™s been raised to know true humanity by the warmth of his Earth parents. Both are as integral a part of Superman€™s character as the other, and in recognising this simple detail so beautifully, the two-part trailer campaign has smashed it out of the park. Let€™s just all hope the movie itself follows suit.
