David, I agree that James Gunn’s Superman seems to be aiming at a more optimistic tone, at least based on its first trailer. That would be appropriate for this hero, even if he has to maintain that spirit in contrast to the world around him. Based on other things I see in this trailer, though, I worry that Superman may get lost in his own movie. It looks like there will be a Green Lantern, Hawk-Girl, and other superpowered figures, in addition to classic Superman antagonist Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). Superman is to be the first film installment of a rebooted DC Comics shared universe franchise. So Gunn might be seizing the opportunity to introduce a bunch of new characters alongside his version of Superman. If this detracts from a focus on the title character, the tone could be right, but the emphasis could end up too diffuse.
