Is it just me, or are there other people out there who are positively sick and tired of seeing Superman marketing everywhere you look? I can't go to the gas station for a pack of gum without being bombarded by Superman 150oz fountain sodas. I went to Burger King the other day, and they have a contest to win a Superman-themed Alienware laptop. The grocery store has Superman chips, Superman cereal, Superman lunchmeat, Superman Chef Boyardee, etc, etc, etc. I went to Wal-Mart, and they, of course, had the huge aisle of Superman toys, along with signs about random other Superman stuff strewn through the entire store, and random accouncements about Superman events coming out of the speakers. I'm sure there're more places to find this (completely unrelated to the movie) crap, but those are the ones I can come up with right off the bat.
I miss the marketing for Batman Begins. They didn't have any of that, and only brought out the toys until after the movie was already a box-office success

Yah, they over-market for lots of movies, I know, but not quite to this level.
Just saying.

Yeah... and when I went to see Superman, they showed previews for Spiderman 3! And that comes out NEXT MAY!!! What the heck? They psych you up for movies so that you will think they are a really big deal when they finally come out, and you rush to theatres to see them.
Or, they do the reverse, no-info thing, like the Da Vinci Code. But it's always one or the other.

Well, since the actor who plays Superman, Brandon Routh, is so cute, I don't mind the marketing. Now put an ugly person on the pack, and I might have a problem

Superman equals Money Thats what all its about Batman is fairly popular but Superman is one superhero that EVERYONE knows Im not a big fan of Superman Spider-Man is another big seller, but not not as popular as Superman You can put a Superman logo on a dog turd and I bet it will sell

Have you noticed how many movies are marketed this way?? It's not just the Superman movie. Look at all the kids movies, like Cars. All the marketing is INSANE!

I noticed that too. I actually went to see it and I was very dissapointed in it. I thought for how hyped up it was it should be pretty good but I really didnt like it at all.

I just think they should have retired the cape when Reeves died.
