That's an interesting turn. It seems as if the reboot superman is less "open" about his powers, like this is a "coming out" story. Where the classic superman would always charge to the rescue, this superman seems concerned about being different and being accepted. I approve.
I wonder if the reboot superman even bothers with a secret identity? The trailer makes me think not. That would certainly enable a "coming out" story.
I'm not very fond of the idea of aliens vs superman though. In the trailer it looked like Kryptonian enemies of Jor-El versus the son? The second movie used this idea, and while it was a good movie I thought it was somewhat detached from humanity, as if Earth was demoted from a central character to a mere spectator. It's important that the audience be able to connect with the protagonist.
