It’s been a long, long wait for me for this teaser. The past few weeks I’ve be regularly googling for news as to when specifically it’s coming out. When I found out it’s playing in front of The Dark Knight Rises, I knew I was in for not just one awesome Bat-movie, but also a super preview. Unfortunately, the midnight showing of Batman didn’t have any trailers and jumped right into the flick.

But here we are, two The Man of Steel teaser trailers officially released by Warner Bros. They’re both the same, but each have a different voice-over. One by Jor-El (Russell Crowe), the other by Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner).

And they’re incredible. They show you next to nothing and are a mood-setter for sure, but, to me, they show this will be a story about Clark Kent’s journey leading up to Superman, everything from his important heritage, to his place in the world, to the discover of his power, and, based on rumors, plenty of action to boot.

Henry Cavill looks like Superman. To me, he actually looks like a more mature Tom Welling, though Tom is older than him in real life. Nice transition from Smallville to Superman for this fanboy.

I’m excited, but now I have to wait a whole year until it’s release. Actually, about 11 months as I believe it’s coming out June 20, 2013. Still.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you TWO The Man of Steel teaser trailers.

I’m blown away. Speechless blown.

This costume is perfect.

A breakdown:

- the S is nice and big, and has a classic design
- its a 3D S, but doesn’t look like it’s something he couldn’t hide beneath a shirt
- the cape is regal
- the colors are right
- the blue suit is detailed enough, perhaps a piece of Kryptonian technology
- his hair–though I’m partial to the combed-to-the-side-from-the-left look with a curl, this works as I suspect Clark will have his hair parted to further act as a disguise
- he looks big and powerful
- the red trunks seem to be gone; I’m old school so like the trunks on the outside
- he has an intensity that’s only appropriate for the Man of Steel
