I'm underwhelmed. Not because of this movie compared to others but simply because Superman as a character bores me.
Too powerful, too few flaws.
Even were that true, I don't see how it has any impact on the awesomeness of this trailer, or the entertainment value of the film. And actually, in an environment where flawed heroes are the rule rather than the exception, Superman is a refreshing change of pace. A good guy whose actually a good guy? Imagine that!
I agree with the premise, but disagree that Superman's flaw should be amorality.A near all powerful man should have a lot of moral flaws. That keeps the story intriguing.

DC has always had, in my opinion, the weaker of the characters between them and Marvel.
I think DC heroes are overpowered and one-dimensional, but that it forces the villains to pick up the slack.
Like, for instance, compare Batman to Iron Man, then compare Bruce Wayne with Tony Stark. Or compare Superman to Spiderman, and then compare Clark Kent to Peter Parker. The DC "Super Hero" is more powerful, but the Marvel character is more complex and real. But when you apply the same test to the villains, DC has to make pretty extreme villains to keep up with the overpowered heroes, while Marvel villains are equally multi-dimensional and flawed, making them in some ways less impressive.
