Superman teaser trailer

The trailer not only introduces Superman, but several other members of the DC Universe, especially Krypto, the super dog. The teaser has been praised by fans for its bright color tone, which is very different from Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, known for its more gruesome take on the character and his life.

The teaser opens with an injured Superman bleeding in the snow. We glimpse his life as Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent as he exchanges glances with Lois Lane. Superman then whistles and Krypto arrives to take him. What follows is a montage of Superman’s beginnings from Smallville to him becoming the savior of the world as we know it.
