It’s Superman’s new logo for The Man of Steel
Superman’s iconic ‘S’ logo is getting a little bit of a tweaking for Man of Steel, with a little bit of flourish and and a hot steel look to it. It’s his Red Steel look.
What this says about the actual movie is anyone’s guess.

Who would win in a fight between Superman and the Hulk?

I honestly don’t know if I could pick a winner here— it’s basically an immovable object vs an unstoppable force. This video doesn’t answer the question, but it’s a good start. Superman’s mobility means he could basically always stay out of range of the Hulk and slowly wear him down by throwing shit at him, but that would take way too long. Who do you think should be the winner?

80 foot tall Superman balloon from the 1940 Macy’s Thanksgiving’s Day Parade
Before you know it, it’ll be Thanksgiving Day (not you Canada, you already had yours), and that means the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving’s Day Parade, which means giant balloons and morning newscasters bundled up like its -30 F regardless of the temperature, drinking as soon as the sun comes up, making off-color remarks about celebrities you don’t give a shit about. 
Oh, 1940. Sorry, got on a tear. In 1940, things were a bit simpler and the Macy’s parade had this enormous and sort of ugly but charming Superman balloon.
