Excerpt from James Gunn Addresses Why Superman Bleeds In The First Shot Of The DC Reboot’s Trailer - "Not A Fascistic Power Fantasy":
“We do have a battered Superman in the beginning. That is our country. I believe in the goodness of human beings, and I believe that most people in this country, despite their ideological beliefs, their politics, are doing their best to get by and be good people — despite what it may seem like to the other side, no matter what that other side might be. This movie is about that. It’s about the basic kindness of human beings, and that it can be seen as uncool and under siege [by] some of the darker voices or some of the louder voices.”
"Recently, you've come under a lot of fire for what one might..."
"I know it's a lot of fire."
"It's, it's a lot."
"Today the Secretary of Defense said he was going to look into your actions."
"My actions? I stopped a war."
"Maybe."
"Uh, not maybe. I did."
"In effect you illegaly entered a country."
"Did you consult with the president?"
"No."
"You seemingly acting as a representative of the United States will cause more problems around the world."
"I wasn't representing anybody... except for me... and, and, and doing good."
"I would question myself in the same situation and consider the consequences."
"People were going to die!"

People (myself included) shouldn't generally judge movies based on trailers, but from the trailer it doesn't really seem very good. Is it going to be better than "Superman returns" or "Justice League", yeah, most likely, but I'm going to be surprised if it even manages to be on the same level as "Man of Steel" and I think that was a 7/10 movie.
