"We flashback to Clark's youth. He's on a bus that goes over a bridge, but the bus is miraculously saved. "My son was in the bus. He saw what Clark did." says an of-screen voice. Young Clark looks shocked when he saves the children on the school bus.

The trailer cuts to young Clark discovering a spaceship in a barn (if Man of Steel sticks to mythology, baby Clark crashed landed on Earth in this thing).

"It's not from this world, Clark," says Pa Kent. We see Clark holding a Superman "S" ring. "Either or are you."

Russell Crowe pops up as Kal-El, Superman's father, during our first look at the Fortress of Solitude. "What kind of man do you want to be?" he asks. This isn't a face in a crystal. Kal-El is standing right in front of him. A spiffy hologram? Either way, he's there showing his son the "S" emblem. From there, Clark walks out of Fortress of Solitude in full super costume. He breathes deeply, places his fists on to the ground, and takes off. Sonic boom! Superman is back.

The rest of the trailer is quick shot imagery accompanied by Nolan's signature trumpet fanfare. Amy Adams runs out as Lois Lane. Supermann emerges from a building completely covered in flames. Michael Shannon appears as Zod, with a menacing...gottee. Lots of explosions as a laser blasts down from the skies into the Earth (think Star Trek's Vulcan drill scene). A scene of Clark clutching a child with a storm behind him, evoking last year's Take Shelter. Superman and Zod clash in the sky, before Supes is thrown into a bank safe. Army soldiers point guns at Superman. Finally, we see Clark Kent stroll into the Daily Plant. He enters the elevator and places on the signature glasses.

Superman Begins? Basically, and that's not a bad thing."

MAN OF STEEL footage has a very BATMAN BEGINS feel to it, but with much bigger action. Doesn't really feel like a Zack Snyder movie at all. MAN OF STEEL footage was more subtle than anything Zack Snyder has ever brought to Comic-Con. Epic, powerful and dramatic.

Man of Steel trailer didn’t blow me away like the previous presentations but it still looked damn cool.

The MAN OF STEEL teaser trailer is !!ing perfection. My most anticapted movie of the next year. I cannot wait. So...just heard the teaser for MAN OF STEEL that's on THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is actually different than what they showed today at comic con.

Man Of Steel trailer just played. One intriguing shot: Superman being marched down a corridor by armed soldiers.

Perhaps the most unique looking of all the footage seen from the panels, in terms of cinematography.

1000000000xxx better looking than SUPERMAN RETURNS. Man of Steel really looks promising.

Superman footage gave me chills... wow... subtle, beautiful, looks like the Batman Begins of Superman. Whoa. I am IN!

Man of Steel did NOT disappoint. Really big, but really pretty and personal with a new twist on the story. Much more soon. #sdcc

Man of Steel definitely has the Batman Begins vibe, but that's not a bad thing. #SDCC

Behind You
From ComcBookMovie.com:

ComingSoon.net have provided a description of the Man of Steel footage shown at this year's San Diego Comic-Con and what follows are the highlights from what was revealed during the screening. According to the site (and many other people who were in attendance as you can see from the reactions below), the Man of Steel footage looks totally different to past Superman movies. It was seemingly a combination of the teaser trailer (which has now been CONFIRMED as being attached to The Dark Knight Rises) and Comic-Con exclusive content. Flashes of Smallville were shown, including the Kent farm house and a shot of a young Clark Kent running in a red cape. A grown up and bearded Clark then walks on a snowy road with a voice-over from Russell Crow's Jor-El (talking about children being, "inspired to greater things") and Kevin Costner's Jonathan Kent giving Clark advice on becoming the man he wants to be. Clark is then shown in the Kent barn looking at the spaceship he crashed to Earth in, and holding a small piece of metal with the iconic "S" logo on it.

The footage then flashes to different periods in his life, offering a look at Clark as a teenager saving a bus full of children who have crashed in the water as he pulls the door off. "People are afraid of what they don't understand," says Costner as the scene transitions to Clark talking to what appears to be a holographic projection of Jor-El (although it apparently seemed as if they were standing right in front of one another). Superman is then finally shown in full costume. First from a distance, and then walking across a snowy landscape. The iconic superhero is seen flying and catching someone who falls from a building (presumably in Metropolis) with only a single flash of Lois Lane, before Superman is spotted in costume - and seemingly in handcuffs - being led down a hallway by armed guards. We next see Clark in an elevator lifting glasses to his face, before the footage concluded with a shot of him shirtless and on fire, and then being thrown into the bank vault revealed in the first official image released last year. When the footage was played a second time, it was also noted that it contains a very brief glimpse of Zod, Superman pulling himself out a pile of skulls, the military turning their weapons on Superman and a woman claiming to have seen Clark saving her child when he was a teenager.

I hope it is as good as they say it looks because I have been wanting a good Superman movie for a while and if this is well made and successful it guarantees that we get the Justice league movie.

3:40PM - Time for Superman... Lights go down and the Man of Steel logo shows on the screen.

3:40PM - Zack Snyder comes to the stage, but nothing has been revealed yet. Zack: "Superman is pretty awesome, you know."

3:41PM - "Superman needed to be reintroduced to a new generation, and this was a chance to do something pretty awesome." They've finished shooting, so they're just working in post-production right now.

3:42PM - Was originally this big blue boyscout up on a throne, but we're trying to make him a little more... you know... but maybe we want to show you some footage.

3:46PM - Wow, got chills from that Superman footage. Quiet, spectacular, looks epic but still all about the beauty and character and his origin. Looks a lot like Batman Begins but for Superman, but not in a bad way, in a Nolan, gritty, realistic, grounded world. I am very, very impressed. I want to see that footage again, it looks so good.

3:48PM - "Superman is the king daddy of all superheroes, to make him work it's a big deal, there's a lot of possibilities." Henry Cavill is also here to talk about the movie in the Q&A.

3:49PM - Zack: "It's not about the size of the movie, it's what's cool."

3:50PM - Q&A question about if this is based on a specific Superman story or arc? "We have great respect for the canon and mythology of Superman, so there's certainly a... mashing of stories and ideas."

3:52PM - Henry: "With this, hopefully I bring a modern version which everyone can associate with."

3:54PM - Guy comes up to the mic crying, legitimately crying tears because he's so emotional and such a huge fan of Superman, he couldn't speak to them because he's such a big fan, but then blurts out: "can you tell us who the villain is?"

3:58PM - They showed the footage one more time! Still got chills from watching it a second time, looks amazing.

3:59PM - Henry: "I hope I've done everything I can to please you guys, because this is all for you." "I get to wear this on my chest," he says about being able to play Superman.

4:00PM - Some guy comes up to ask - would Nolan's Batman or this Superman win in a fight? Zack's response: "he's awesome... but come on, really?"

4:02PM - Where did Henry get his inspiration? "Basically anything I could get my hands on... my favorites, Death of Superman, and Return Superman." He also mentions Red Son [applause] "the elements are the same, he just grew up in a different place."

4:04PM - "How are you going to make General Zod more relatable?" Zack responds, dodging the answer: "Everyone in the film..." [big grin] "would have to be relatable. If they were a guy named that... we would hope that those two characters, if they existed..." trails off. Obviously not going to acknowledge what they want.

4:07PM - Question about Superman possibly crossing over into Justice League. Zack: "Let's say this... Superman is the jewel in the DC crown. What we're trying to do is get his house in order... and then. Who knows what's possible."

4:10PM - Zack Snyder also reveals the new Man of Steel teaser poster, a silhouette mid-section kind of look at Superman. Looks pretty cool, hopefully we'll be able to get a good shot of it online.
