I love the nod to the original film with him hitch hiking up north (to I assume his destiny to become Superman), at least that's what it looks like :)

Also, I really wonder who's gonna be the villain. If it's a reboot/origin story it has to be Lex plain and simple. They can't start off with Doomsday or Darksied or something like that lol Then again, General Zod is in the movie, so they could use him I suppose or at least set him up for a sequel.

Plus, they announced at SDCC that Man of Steel is officially setting up the live action Justice League movie finally! W00T!

Hans Zimmer is doing the score for the film. Whether that means they dropped the original theme song or not, who knows. I would love to hear a Hans Zimmer version of the original John Williams piece to be honest. Also, Hans Zimmer.

Very dissapointed after watching the teaser. There was nothing in there that iconically Superman, except the last shot of him flying. I dont know, Im not convinced this is what I want from a Superman movie yet.

Yeah but it's only a teaser. They didn't show much in the teaser trailer for TDKR etc either, that's the point.

And I don't know, hearing Russel Crowe as Jor'El and see him hitch hiking up north is pretty iconic to me. Of course, seeing him on an episode of Alaskan Fisherman wasn't....

Yeah that's the show. I couldn't think of the name so I just went with the Alaskan reference :D
