Henry Cavill might be the most skilled and muscular actor in Hollywood right now. But even he could use some advice from the young.

What a year was 2016. We had just completed Man of Steel and were getting ready
to take the next step into the SnyderVerse with Batman v Superman: Dawn Of
Justice. Fast forward almost eight years. Who knew back then it was one of the
last times we would see Henry Cavill as Superman?



It certainly was a treat for viewers to watch Henry dawn the red cape and pick
up the mantle of the Man of Steel. Even his interviews and promotional campaigns
for the films were incredible. So now that we might not see Henry as Kal-El

ever again, why not watch a hilarious video of his where he gets a lesson from a
toddler?


A TODDLER TEACHES HENRY CAVILL THE RIGHT WAY TO PUNCH

in 2016 WB [https://www.warnerbros.com] did everything in its power to make
Batman v Superman a hit. The promotional for the movie included a series of fun
interviews,
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-fan-made-edit-of-henry-cavill-ben-affleck-interviews-calls-for-a-superman-vs-batman-retreat/]
among many other things. One such innovative interview saw Henry Cavill trying
to convince young toddlers that Superman was better than Batman.

During his effort to establish Superman as the superior, he asked the children
who would win if the two got in a fight. A young boy replied by saying Superman
would have to get some updates and volunteered to teach Henry a “tornado kick.”



According to the boy the move goes like this, “you go for the face, and then you
do that (imitating a punch) right in the peanuts.” Seeing rather surprised by
the move, Henry was shocked and called the punch an effective way to win.

Continuing in the video, Henry also asks the children whom they want to spend
their time with Batman and Superman. And to Henry’s happiness, many children
chose Superman. Since the video is seven years old and we all have seen how the
movie ends, we can say with quite an assurance that Henry did not “tornado kick”
Ben Affleck’s Batman in the end. Although it would have made the film ten times
cooler.
