That comment about the "S"... was that true in the comic books too? Just wondering if the original creator/author of Superman wrote that or if this new movie is creating new history.

This looks like the Superman movie we've all been waiting for! I'm a Trekkie but I find myself looking forward to this movie even more than Star Trek Into Darkness. Mos is Epic indeed.

I've been asking myself that question too.

 

According to wiki: (brace for copypasta)

 

 

Initially, the S-shield had one meaning: S for Superman. One of the first alternative meanings was presented in Superman: The Movie, in which it was not an S, but rather the S-shaped Coat of arms of the House of El. After the Superman reboot story The Man of Steel, the symbol's story was that it was designed by Jonathan Kent and was derived from an ancient Native American symbol. The symbol was featured on a medicine blanket given to an ancestor of the Kent family by a Native American tribe after he helped to cure them of a plague and was supposed to represent a snake, an animal held to possess healing powers by the tribe (implying that, by wearing this symbol, Superman was a metaphorical healer). In 2004, Mark Waid's Superman: Birthright series says the S-Shield is the Kryptonian symbol for "hope" and Superman believes it may have begun as a coat of arms for the House of El. Later, writer Geoff Johns confirmed it was indeed a coat of arms, as well as a symbol for hope. In the 2013 film Man of Steel, when asked by Lois Lane what the "S" stands for, Superman states that it is not an "S", but rather the Kryptonian symbol for "hope". [3]

 

 

 

So I guess it wasn't in the comic books, but it hasn't been grasped out of nowhere either. ;)

 

On a side note: EPIC TRAILER. DO WANT TO WATCH.

While I rather hate DC and am a marvel fanboy I have to say this movie does look pretty good!

Looks good, but will probably walk in the theater with apprehension.  Batman matured well for me so hope this does the same.

The S stands for as he said "hope" but its also the coat of arms for El.

Brandon Routh is fat next to Henry Cavill
