Krypto bumper for the Puppy Bowl.

You laugh but Rachel's nearly the same age as her. The hair and voice make her appear far older.

That and her Celeb Jeopardy appearance remind me of her, personality wise.

You might need your eyes and ears checked

She sounds nothing like Marge Simpson. WTF are you talking about?

 

[dhandler01]

This felt like a bait and switch by WB.

Very disappointed.

Why? They never promised anything people just ran with it based on vague things Gunn said.

 

[Tra-El]

I wasn't really expecting much givin' that they played their hand with the "Puppy Bowl" but putting a sneak peek of the film as a banner on said-telecast almost always means something new. It is what it is and we will get what we get once the marketing ramps up, but that was a little false-start on the offense there. They should have just stuck with the theme of Krypto and not used the Sneak Peek tease. That gives off false impressions on fanbases that are tunung in expecting a new clip of Krypto at the very least from the actual film. But atleast Cinemacon is right around the corner. That's when the second wave of marketing will ramp up and probably a brand new trailer heading straight for us.

I’m assuming there won’t be a new trailer until Thunderbolts comes out.

I don't know what Gunn said, but this was from the official press release:

One incredible pup who displays "super" abilities will be presented with the Krypto Super Play award. Audiences can catch a special sneak peek of Superman within Puppy Bowl before its theatrical release on July 11, 2025. During the game, writer and director James Gunn will deliver a special message with his dog Ozu, who serves as the inspiration for the character Krypto in DC Studios' Superman.

But yes, it was vague what "sneak peek" meant.

 

[NotToday]

Nah; I'd say March for trailer #2. April the latest.

 

[flickchick85]

If they're indeed using the Barbie marketing strategy as was reported several months back...Barbie's 1st teaser trailer was December 16th. 2nd "teaser" trailer (it was just a regular trailer honestly) April 4th. Full final trailer was May 25th.

So I'm guessing 2nd trailer w/ Minecraft (April 4th) and/or Sinners (WB IMAX release April 18th), final trailer with Mission: Impossible and Lilo & Stitch, both on May 23rd.

I suspect since they're making a point to chase the younger crowd with this movie, they'll go with Minecraft for the next trailer debut, and just have it also be attached to Sinners 2 weeks later.

 

[DCDAVE]

I guarantee the headlines tomorrow will be how disappointed fans are that there was no new Superman footage. I will say this the Puppy bowl sneak peak angle was misleading. But overall the marketing has been great. The teaser trailer had a two months head start on the other summer blockbusters. While Marvel basically is eating its 3 movies up with trailers within days of each other. They didn’t even let FF4 breath.

 

[NotToday]

I agree that the "special sneak peek" being the same trailer from a month and-a-half ago was misleading. But I'm guessing they were mainly aiming for the general audience that hasn't already heard about a new Superman movie coming out.

 

[DCDAVE]

Plus it’s way to early to see anymore Superman trailer or footage let’s let it breath a little. I don’t want another BVS trailer dumpster fire.

 

[HBarnill]

I wasn't talking about...

Just forget I posted anything.

The trailer did its job tenfold, but the marketing so far isn't anything great. It's just..there right now. They had a huge hit with the first trailer, but everything else has been forgettable. As long as trailer # 2 hits like it did the first time, things will level up. I am still waiting for them to show David more. I hope it can filter into more Superman and Lois centric as we push forward. The Guy Gardner "Bowl Tease" doesn't necessarily scream to an audience that Superman is coming. More lead man in David, please.

My guess would be the second trailer will give us dialog from Clark and Superman, with of course, Lois and Lex. I also expect to see the Engineers power set. The second trailer will blow are minds. Gunn already has most fans begging for more. Just gotta tighten up the VFX.

Nah I really don't think you can say this. If they release press statements saying there will be a sneak peak, and have an actual banner across the bottom of the screen popping up throughout the puppy bowl promising a sneak peak... surprise surprise, people are going to expect a sneak peak.

This isn't a case of wildly high fan expectations. This is just what anyone would rationally assume.

Most of us hear/see the phrase 'sneak peak' and think 'movie clip' because that's what most sneak peaks are...

2nd trailer on Easter. You heard it people.

Agree.

 

[Karelia]

Man, some people, even ones who consider them comic book fans, really don't get Guy Gardner lol. "He looks horrible!" Uh, yeah, he does!

Sorry but I disagree. The majority of the people watching the Puppy Bowl are going to be people not part of any fandom...to them this was a sneak peak as they likely either didn't see or forgot the trailer. It is not Gunn's fault a bunch of people on Youtube and message boards expected more. We weren't promised more and outside of (fake) insiders no one was really even hinting at more. He literally gave us everything he said he would.

And I watched what was apparently the "Mission Impossible Super Bowl Trailer" (I didnt watch the Super Bowl so I have no idea but it was on the JoBlo Network and they dont usually clickbait like that) and it was literally the same trailer they have been showing for like 2 months. They paid like $4 million to show the same scenes with the same lines in the same order...and had an intro to said trailer which had all of it too! That to me is a false start.

They did have a sneak peak...you all thought that meant new scenes or a trailer. They never said that. Again, to us yes that is what it means but nowhere does he say "look for a new trailer or never before seen Krypto action at the Puppy Bowl!!". I mean its the friggin Puppy Bowl...

If there was going to be new scenes or something it would have leaked or they would have released it in tandem as it would gain way more traction online than on a Super Bowl offshoot.

Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about. David looks great there. Awesome concept art

 

[Tra-El]

Yeah, nobody is really supposed to like Guy. He is that character by nature and design to be a punk where you want nothing more than to see him get punched in the face lol. He will be a quirky comic relief casting, but I can see him having a solid arc, especially if Lanterns is a hit.

So far that’s probably my favorite image of David as Superman.
