Halfway through the movie we're going to learn that Zod is just an actor and Lex Luthor is the wealthy businessman who is the real villain.

WRONG. Luthor will have Kryptonian tattoos and will reveal himself as the real Zod.

What if... the dad still lives, is brought along with Zod, but in the end he sacrifices himself to Phantom zone the entire invading army. Cue extra credits scene showing one or more Kryptonians who avoided being p-zoned (Hello Pizza Hut promo).

This just made me shake my head and laugh my ass off. I'm glad I wasn't that invested in the comics so I didn't freak out over it in IM3

I just like to point out two facts:
1. we're all pumped for this movie.
2. There's very little Clark Kent or Lois Lane bullshit in these trailers.

They just wrapped up a several year tv series about Superman with zero superman at 100% clark kent and lois lane bullshit so hopefully the writing community got it out of their system and we can just see superman lifting heavy objects and throwing super haymakers for two hours.

Hey, I like Lois and Clark. Admittedly, a big part of that was that Terri Hatcher was fine as fuck back in those days.

Thought he re-zoned them, but I have very vague recollection of that movie beyond being mega-bummed when Supes got beat up in that diner. That shit was hard to take as a kid.

That's part of what made that movie so awesome. I never get tired of watching the scene where he goes back to the diner and owns that guy. Spins the dude on his barstool at like 3000 RPM and just tells everybody, "Oh, I've been working out." Classic.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Zod phantom-zoned at the end of this one either. How else is he going to get rid of an invading force of Kryptonians?

I'm thinking since they make an emphasis on Kal-El's "natural birth" his body might be more adept at harnessing the power of a yellow sun--whereas Zod and his army (thought it was just Faeora?) are genetically designed to be military on Krypton and maybe not as apt to harness that same power. Really hope they don't kill Zod off, Shannon seems amazing from what we've seen so far.

In the trailers they covered his childhood, young adult life and then him as Superman and battling Zod... just seems like a TON of history packed into 153 minutes.
So there's going to be a fair amount of skipping involved. Unless the Zod shit is the last 20 minutes of the movie.

Yeah, we could all be reading the trailers wrong but it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of room for Clark Kent after Lois and Zod out the guy as an alien.

Given all the previews I am concerned for the pace of this movie. While I want a shit ton of action and super powers, I also like character development. I would have had no problem with the movie showing more of him growing up and learning how to deal with what he was. I actually hope that the first hour deals with the Krypton -> Earth -> Growing up aspect of his life. I want to like Superman and remember that while he comes from a different planet, he was raised on Earth and thus should act human. Otherwise just give me a movie about a giant robot that defends Earth from various planet ending scenerios. This robot needs to be industructible, be able to fly and should shoot laser beams from his eyes. Oh and the robot should really wear red underwear for the complete package.

The majority of the movie is going to be growing up/emo bullshit (i.e shit we've seen a million times already and no one cares about at this point) and 20 - 30 minutes at the end will be fighting Zod. Sorry. That's just how it's going to be.

I really hope we don't get the Pinocchio bullshit again 'I WANT TO BE A REAL BOY', but we will.

In an ideal Hollywood world, which we all know after seeing the theatrical ending to I Am Legend is bullshit, they would pack the origin into about thirty minutes, maybe forty-five, and have the rest be coming out as Superman and Zod. That won't happen because they have too big of names as his father and his stepfather to relegate them to such a small amount of screentime, but a girl can dream. Still pumped to see it though.
