After seeing Henry Cavill in the Superman costume flying over the city of Metropolis, fans were convinced that the role was made for him. Not only does Cavill look spectacular as Superman. But the confusion, fear, and determination of Clark Kent that he brings make his performance phenomenal. With his bulky physique, Henry Cavill made having supernatural strength realistic. This does not come easy, and Cavill is known to practice intense workouts and perform his fight sequences by himself.

This is the reason why fans loved every bit of watching the British actor flawlessly play the superhero with a red cape. Henry Cavill as Superman was iconic because, albeit his possessing superhero powers, he seemed realistic and flawed. In the Man Of Steel movie, Superman got himself arrested to prove that he is not a threat, which no other Superman has ever done. Given how much fans loved to see him as Superman, they have been begging for another movie. But with the number of DC movies becoming fewer, fans were losing hope. However, after a certain announcement, they are raging.
