A sneak peek at ‘Superman Returns’
 A teaser trailer is out for next summer’s Superman Returns movie, directed by Bryan Singer, whose credits include The Usual Suspects and X-Men. The trailer is very cool, and according to the always excellent Movie Marketing Madness blog, the film is likely to be pretty good, too. The MMM post reads, in part: “It occurs to me that DC [Comics] is now doing with its comic  characters just what Marvel did four or five years ago. Take a director that is talented, give him a story to create and work with and let him make an actual movie, not just a commercial for action figure tie-ins. Marvel did it with X-Men (Bryan Singer) and Spider-Man (Sam Raimi) in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Now DC has done it with Batman Begins (Christopher Nolan) and will do it with Superman Returns (Singer, poached from the X-Men franchise) and then Wonder Woman (Buffy creator Joss Whedon).” Reaction to the teaser poster, meanwhile, has been mixed. Some think it’s classic; others say it’s boring.

Are you sure that's official? That looks a lot to me like a fan made trailer based on footage that's already been released.

According to MMM, it's a promotional reel that was shown at a recent Comic-Con gathering. So, not an official trailer.

That's correct, it's Comic-Con footage. At least that's what I've read on the two or three sites that posted the footage on their sites and it seems very much to fit that mold to my eyes.
Either way thanks for the shout-out.
