Henry Cavill IS Superman: - - - - Part 13

[Lightning Strykez!]

I said this somewhere else, he is the first actor to make me forget about Reeve. He did not surpass Reeve, because that is just perfection. However, he made the role his own. And that is more than I can say for Tom Welling, Brandon Routh or Dean Cain.

He owned the role and everytime he was on screen, I just thought "that's Superman." He is just a different Superman. One who is more conflicted and self-aware of his inner turmoil. A modern take that worked wonderfully, even if the third act of the movie has massive problems.

I couldn't agree more. I called it a couple of years ago when they announced Henry for this role: I thought it was an inspired casting choice then and even more so now.

He's probably the first actor to actually look like superman while not having to channel Reeve.

I mean for so long the image of superman and Reeve were 1:1 but you look at henry and you go damn that is superman.
