Everyone around me knows that the movie is coming out. My best friend and I are Superman fanatics and anyone within a five mile radius of us has some sort of idea that there's a new Superman movie coming out.
The only real questions I've had are, "Where did Superman go to?" and "Why is it called 'Superman Returns'?"
A few of my other friends weren't excited about the movie because they thought it was going to be another origin story. When I informed them that it was actually CONTINUING the story of Superman they seemed much more excited to see it.
My mom loves Superman and watches Smallville whenever she can (even though I think the show has gone downhill since season 3). I showed her the 2nd theatrical trailer for Superman and she said, "It's about time a good movie is coming out in theaters." She loved the first two.
My dad is pretty much the same way, and he used to be really into comics as a kid.
My brother...doesn't care...about anything. I was the Superman fanatic of the family and he would make fun of me for it. However, from what I'm hearing about the movie, he should enjoy it.
One more story, and I thought this was just kind of cute. My mom's a 1st grade teacher and last week I had to go into her classroom during the school day to start packing up things to clean out. My mom left the room and told all the kids to play the "quiet game". I knew I'd hate myself if I didn't take advantage of the opportunity so I said, "Alright, you don't have to talk, but, raise your hand if you're going to go see Superman when it comes out."
The whole class raised their hands.
And he told me the only way he thinks Supes should be portrayed as, is the 60 year old looking Superman from Kingdom Come.
