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.

Christopher Nolan and team has just released the new official trailer for next summer’s The Dark Knight Rises. Just like the teaser, it shows you everything but nothing at the same time. What I found particularly interesting about this new trailer is that Batman is hardly in it, something you wouldn’t think would be part of a trailer promoting a superhero movie.

It’s enough of a hook that makes me wish I could pre-order my ticket to the box office now than wait another seven months.

Here’s the trailer:

As for the poster, folks online have been finding hidden elements. The first two were nods to the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel movie: the S shield. (Seen in blue.)

My good buddy, Doug Mann–be the Captain Attention-to-Detail guy that he is–pointed out to me a couple more: the famous stitch marks as worn by serial killer Zsasz, as well as a shadowy shot of the Bat cowl. (Seen in red.)

Short and sweet. I like it (except for the backwards S shown in the reflection).

Also this real quick one here, the “Fortress Preview.”

Looks pretty good. I’ll be there.
