BvS Henry Cavill IS Superman - - - - - Part 19

[Invader34]

Anyone know what brand watch is he wearing?

I believe its a Suunto

 

[flickchick85]

Maybe I'm confusing things then with one or two really enthusiastic posters about Hammer being cast in the role?

I remember a few less than convincing manips being floated.

Oh there were definitely a few very enthusiastic Hammer fans, for sure. And yes, I remember those manips well, lol.

 

[Sawyer]

There were tons of Cavill supporters. TONS. So much so that I was sure he wouldn't be cast. In my experience, the fan favorite rarely gets the part.

 

[Bruce Malone]

This was one of my favorites

and here's one just for fun

Exactly. As he was for so many here, he was my absolute #1 choice, but I would always preface every post I made mentioning him with "He doesn't have the slightest chance of being cast, but..."

I used to scoff at people's blind hope that the big fan favorites actually have a chance in hell of happening, especially if they're D-list TV actors, but Cavill's casting pretty much changed that worldview for me, lol.

Bale was a fan-favorite too, but he always seemed like a more realistic one to me.

EDIT: RE - those manips above, AS IF Armie Hammer could ever achieve that neck, lol.

Arm and Hammer is meh. Manjello is tragic. HC's new haircut is really atrocious. That is all.

Bite your damn tongue!

Joe Manganiello being suggested so often for Supes and Shazam just reinforces to me that most fancasters here don't give a rat's ass about anything other than height and hair color. His features are all wrong, I have yet to see him in a role that would imply he could act either role well... he's just got black hair and he's built like a tank.

Unbelievably outstanding!

It took Joe Jello for you to realize that?

Lawd.

 

[Sawyer]

I realized it long ago, he just reinforces it.

Calm down, gurl.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I recall getting annoyed at how often Cavill was fan cast even though I thought he was a dead ringer for the character and incredibly handsome.

Snyder on casting for MOS

"I love Joe too, by the way,” Snyder said. “Really he was the only other guy I was thinking of, to be honest, other than Henry.

I'll be honest, I thought Joe's character in True Blood had a real noble earnestness about him (at least in his 1st season on the show, which was just about all that had aired when this casting circus was happening) that made it easy for me to see him as Supes. But Henry is definitely 1000x better for the part, no question there. Especially after seeing how the role was written in MoS. I can't imagine Joe as THAT Supes at all.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

This film they better cut loose with Henry's Superman/Clark in terms of characterization and dialog. I am hoping to the wider world that he's more like he was when talking to the military, but as Clark it's more along the lines of his persona when he was with Lois.

Omg. Can't begin to explain how happy this picture makes me. Imagine if they become BFF!!!

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

[snpklsdmbldr]

Jimmy Olsen? and since when did Clark Kent get LASIK?

 

[BH/HHH]

Who is that?

David Beckham

Clark and Bruce

Fixed for you. t:

The Bruce comparison needed some work, so I improved it.

Oh my! Becks and Supes! Awesome. And HC looks fantastic; I take back my comments about the lousy haircut. I guess it was just lousy angles that made it look bad? He and Becks look terrific.

Agreed, 100%. Exactly my feelings on the matter.

And now I urgently need a beer. I hope you're happy with yourself.
