Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

I'll grant this is a more memorable poster than the one for "Star Trek into Darkness", and they stole JJ Abrahm's lens flare just to rub it in.
This poster is terrible! In the usual wrong-headed Hollywood attempt to be "dark" and serious they've totally misconstrued what Superman is all about. It may be unfashionable but, as far as I'm concerned, Superman is all about heroism, nobility and optimism. Whereas this just seems to be an attempt to graft Dark Knight-style angst onto our favourite Kryptonian.
Hopefully I'm reading too much into what is just a teaser poster... but I'm not encouraged by this :-(
I agree with you. Treating Superman's appearance with fear and mistrust instead of amazement and wonder is just the wrong tone. I want to believe a man can fly, not that he can conquer and dominate us. But like you said, maybe I am reading too much into this.
As long as darkness sells, that's what you'll get and like it. That's pretty much the Hollywood credo. I suppose they could be red kryptonite cuffs, but they would give rise to other problems.
From my simple point of view, the main problem with the poster is Superman, who is well know for super strength, would hardly be held by a simple pair of cuffs. .... Well not unless they were pink fur lined....
The heck with all that existential stuff, where's his #$#@!! spitcurl?
The only thing I can think of is that he's turned himself in to the authorities. Probably due to the reports of a super being flying around causing national hysteria the government issued a warning to him. Being the 'boyscout' that he is he turned himself in and is complying with them to show goodwill and that he's on our side.
That would make sense. He would have no reason to fear them but I need a REALLY good reason for the military to arrest him just because he is wearing a goofy costume. But if they saw him in action SOMEONE should have assumed that cuffs would be ineffective.
Have any of you actually READ a Superman comic?
Think I saw part of one in the outhouse by the Batcave.
Sorry man, it was there and you know I like superheros as dark as my cold heart.
No problem. I love a good outhouse joke.
I have read comics, and actually, yeah, I've seen him in cuffs before. DC has to stand apart from Marvel. Right now the only real winner they have on their hands is Batman. So to stick with a more realistic vibe makes sense. I've always viewed DC as more real than Marvel in the comics anyway.
I hear ya and I will be seeing this movie of course. Maybe 'real' is the not the way you want to go with superhero movies. Marvel seems to know where the fine line is if Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers is any indication.
Maybe those cuffs are made of kryptonite.
I disagree though. Real IS what you want. The reason Superman caught on was because every little kid suddenly saw themselves bounding up as high as a skyscraper. When you watch, you want to feel as if it's possible. That's part of the magic.
I have read General Zod has an army. Maybe this is Zod's army and they are some sort of kryptonian cuffs. Maybe when the trailer comes out next week we'll learn more.
I wonder who is playing Zod. That is key casting. I loved the recent Planet Kryptonite series where Zod was the good guy.
Superman is a naughty boy. Crap.
Well now you wrote an entirely different movie. I hope he is not a peeper which I would be with his powers.
Now I´m sure. Indecent exposure: he´s walking around pant less.
Well he is hung like a superhero.
