00:00You're in London at this amazing event.

00:02You finally got here.

00:03Just sum up how you're feeling to us.

00:06Exhausted, but happy.

00:07You know, I'm so happy that people are seeing the movie.

00:10And we've been all over the world.

00:11And it's really exciting to see people react to it.

00:14Why should fans see it?

00:15Give us a message on the big screen.

00:16Why should they be going to the cinema?

00:18Why should they see it on a big screen?

00:19Because Superman belongs on the big screen.

00:22He's the biggest, most iconic character of all time.

00:25We need to see him up there with an audience

00:27and really enjoy the film that way.

00:29We get to know Superman a little more intimately.

00:33We get to really discover what are his flaws,

00:36what are his opinions, what are his ideals.

00:38I think we get a very intimate look

00:40at his relationship with Lois.

00:42I also think that it's a bigger movie

00:44than it's ever been told with Superman before.

00:46You know, when I was a kid and I started reading comic books,

00:49I loved the world of DC,

00:51that Superman had friends who were superheroes.

00:54And there were giant monsters and robots

00:56and flying dogs and sorcery

00:59and science so advanced it seemed like sorcery.

01:01And that's what we're giving people, the DC world.

01:04That's what we're doing.

01:05So I think there was a lot of people

01:07that would be a group of different

01:12and just like the more people

01:13of the other people doing.

01:14So we're going to see him

01:15where he is not going to be the other one.

01:16You're not going to see him.

01:17But the other people are going to see,

01:18I'm going to see him.

01:20You're not going to see him

01:21this one.

01:21That was a real good idea.

01:23So what I did...

01:24You're going to see him,

01:26that's going to be...

01:27But that was pretty great.

01:28They were a little bit

01:30from the background of something.
