A poorly behaved Pomeranian is embarrassing, but at the end of the day you can pick it up to stop it from biting anything. A poorly behaved super dog is an mass casualty event waiting to happen. Supes brings him along in the Superman movie because he's "worried about the cows" and it's played for a laugh. I'd be much more worried about him getting excited and playing too rough with people, or cars, or planes.

Also: since when are teaser trailers a proper two minute trailer, what is it "teasing?"
Also also: since when are movie trailers over two minutes long
I knew we had started toward this point, but I feel just a few years ago a teaser was still just a micro-trailer instead of a literal glimpse like it used to be words have lost all meaning

Yeah, I definitely remember when the idea of a teaser trailer first came into fruition. Jurassic World is one of the first ones I remember seeing where it was a 20 second tease for the trailer they were going to release for the Super Bowl.
I just checked, Black Panther’s teaser trailer is just under 2 minutes and Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker have teaser trailers over two minutes, and those released a year after Panther. So them as like an actual tease lasted only about two years before they just became trailers outright.
You guys don’t know how much I wished Superman looked like this lol. Gillespie is great. I like I Tonya and Cruella, the latter of which is so visually rich so I was on board when he was announced

The costume (and main plot elements) is taken directly from Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which was pretty thematically dark itself, and Gunn admitted was his primary inspiration for the film.

I don't read Marvel/DC comics, nor have I seen many comics movies, but for whatever reason, this post prompted me to read Woman of Tomorrow. I think I googled "why supergirl drunk" and seeing the gorgeous art on one of the pages I clicked on had me curious.
That was an incredible read. Gorgeous art and character design aside, I greatly enjoyed the two leads, particularly Ruthye and the beautiful prose of her narration. I don't know where it stands as a superhero story, since I lack close familiarity with such comics, but as sci-fantasy, it's awesome. I'd be interested in watching this movie if it's anything like that.
(Any more comics in this vein? Cool female characters that aren't stereotyped; exploring the setting outside of Earth; great writing; just anything that's similar.)
Yeah, I'm not a huge DC/Marvel superhero comics reader either. I prefer more diverse subject matter, and non-superhero comics published by imprints like DC's Vertigo, and indie publishers like...
Yeah, I'm not a huge DC/Marvel superhero comics reader either. I prefer more diverse subject matter, and non-superhero comics published by imprints like DC's Vertigo, and indie publishers like Image Comics. But Woman of Tomorrow had a lot of hype surrounding it when it first released, it's now widely regarded as the best Supergirl comic, and often ranked up there with the best DC comics of all time alongside Batman: The Killing Joke, Kingdom Come, Superman: Red Son, and the like... so I had to check it out. And I agree, it was great and the art is absolutely stunning!
As for other comics in a similar sci-fantasy vein, you should definitely check out Saga (Issue #1 is free to read - NSFW, BTW). And you're also in luck if you want to read the rest because the Image Comics Humble Bundle is still available for another 6 days. Which includes Saga Volumes 1-9 (Issues #1 - 54) if you pay for the full 175 comic tier ($18 USD / $25 CAD)... as well as a bunch of other amazing comics too, like Black Science, East of West, Descender, and Kill Six Billion Demons, all of which I've also read and highly recommend.
Looks okay. Not incredible, but not completely generic either. I think I saw one set that is not entirely blue screen. Milly Alcock has an interesting face and carries herself well. She's the best...
Looks okay. Not incredible, but not completely generic either. I think I saw one set that is not entirely blue screen. Milly Alcock has an interesting face and carries herself well. She's the best thing in this trailer for me. I'm not very interested in watching Supergirl on another planet, the cinematic Supe* family only really makes sense on Earth for me. Yes, I know comic book Superman had plenty of stories in space, but comics have way more stories and arcs, so that's okay.
Looks eh? Maybe it's just because i grew up on that Batman Animated Series era, but another "oh life sucks, better drink away my woes, ugh" story is what i've seen them do to startrek for 10...

Superman is basically the opposite of that. My guess is Supergirl will be working through a lot of her trauma in this one and come out more heroic, but still “edgier” than Supes.

This is a weird artifact of those other representations (especially CW, which didn't put much effort into representing its characters "accurately" to the source material), not an attempt by these current writers to differentiate her. This is a very comic accurate take on Supergirl, and is heavily inspired by Woman of Tomorrow, widely regarded as the best Supergirl story!

I'm not a dog person. The aggressively friendly kind of dog, like this, is not cute to me, it's terrifying. I hope it stops being normalized.

We’re approaching ten years of that trend

A teaser is a trailer that doesn't give away plot points. Just vague quips and scenery to set a tone.

Is that Lobo?
Spoiler, I don’t think it’s a big deal but people sometimes get mad
It’s confirmed that Jason Mamoa is playing Lobo in this.
I wonder how prominent the costume will be.
They are making supergirl more human, with darker themes, but the cartoonish costume kind of ruins that.

Well then, I know what Santa is getting me this Christmas.
Supergirl teaser hype! Milly Alcock looks amazing and this feels like a fresh and exciting take on the character.
