Me too but only because I don't want to know what happens if I don't agree with Ten Thousand Bears.

CRAZY FAN THEORY:

Luthor's lying his ass off. Hear me out.

The better part of the trailer is from his perspective right? So he's telling everyone "Yeah I totally killed Superman with my badass kryptonite spear after I lured from his emo corner into a blind, retard rage. Then everyone dies, but not me. Also, I was able to avoid capture from Brainiac and travel back in time, cause I'm a super genius."

So... standard, current, Earth-1 DC comics continuity?

I dunno about the story but the game looks kinda interesting.

I mean I hate Superman because he's a terrible character and his morality, like every other major DC superhero except like, Wonder Woman, is stupid as hell so I could care less. But he is a plot device because he's explicitly as strong or nearly as strong as the best of everybody (as fast or almost as Flash, stronger than pretty much anybody, durable against everything but kryptonite and magic, incredible fighting skills, eye lasers, etc) and has to be dumb to lose a fight at all.

REGARDLESS it gives you a decent reason why your C-list hero actually matters so, woo hoo.

Man, that sorta pissed me off now and not just about Lazy Superman, thoughwhy does he always fall for Kryptonite tricks?

Also, i don't think Batman would backlash on Luthor like he did in the end there. Wonder Woman would be way more likely to go that way....

Doesn't explain why he looks like and Hybrid between Starcraft 2 and Warhammer

Okay, fine, shittier.

This Superman hasn't quoted Henry fucking Thoreau at anybody while telling them to go get themselves shot, he's pretty much an improvement.

If only Superman would just KILL Lex Luthor... he'd come back in a few years anyway, just like that guy who Wonder Woman decapitated a few years ago who just came back.

I've got a question...why does the future always have to be dark and gloomy? >_> My biggest issue is that.

[Ten Thousand Bears]

Well, that's rather my point. Superman may "need" to recharge, but he wouldn't. He'd keep on fighting to the point of sacrificing himself if need be, but it probably wouldn't come to that because he's also super smart. He'd find a way to use his weakness to trick Luthor and/or Brainiac into making some stupid arrogant flub.

Your argument is that Superman should win regardless of what he's facing or what state he's in? With respect, that's not Superman, that's Crime Fighting Jesus, and it would make for a really boring character. Superman is interesting because his moral code is the definition of his character but is also completely unrealistic. At some point he'll either have to break it or be defeated and that's why he's compelling and tragic, and worth reading.

Anyhow, the trailer wasn't about him. Luthor was the real star and the point the trailer was making was that left unchecked his desire for revenge would destroy everything. Superman was an (awesome) sideshow to that.
