First Man Of Steel Trailer Description Arrives From Comic-Con

At long last it has arrived! Though The Dark Knight Rises may have been the most anticipated film of 2012, Man of Steel is easily the most anticipated when it comes to trailers. Zack Snyder's reboot/hopeful franchise starter will be soaring into theaters next March and for such a high profile film, the production has been fairly secretive.

*One thing to note: Apparently, the trailer shown at Comic-Con is not the same one that will be shown in theatres, though we assume that it will be very similar.

Check out the trailer description below:

We see flashes of Smallville. The farm house. Clark running in a red cape as a child.

This looks VERY different from Superman films of the past

An older, bearded Clark walks a snowy road in an arctic town.

We hear Russell Crowe’s voice talking about children being inspired to greater things

It sounds like it’s cut with Kevin Costner’s voice. Both fathers are giving Clark/Kal advice on how to become who he wants to be

We see Clark being brought to the Kent barn and shown the spaceship that has been hidden there

Clark holds a small piece of metal with the S logo on the end

We’re jumping back and forth through time periods

Clark, as a teen, saved a bus of kids

The bus crashed in the water and we see him swimming, pulling the door off

“People are afraid of what they don’t understand,” says Costner

We see Clark talking to Jor-El. They’re standing right in front of one another, but I think it’s a holographic projection (though it looks live)

We see Superman in the suit. First from a distance and then walking across a snowy plain

There are flashing of Superman flying and one of him catching someone falling off a building

A single flash of Amy Adams’ Lois Lane
One flash has Superman (in costume) — seemingly in handcuffs — being led down a hallway by a security force

We see Clark (without seeing his face) stepping into an elevator and begin to lift glasses to his face

There’s a flash of Clark, shirtless, with his whole body on fire

Another of him crashing into the bank vault we saw in the first still. It looks like he’s been thrown.

I’m not great at describing music, but it’s decidedly more somber than Williams’s score.

The whole look of it has a very dark, autumny feel to it all.

There’s a major discussion in the narration about the world turning against Superman because they don’t trust him if he ever appears.

There’s a flash of Zod, but literally so fast you just see his face.

Apparently someone witnessed young Clark as a child saving the bus with his powers.

None of the trademark Snyder shots in the trailer. No slo-mo or shuttery frames
