The Superman we ’ve seen in DC ’s movie cosmos has been … let ’s say controversial at metre . It ’s a characterization that has been built more around the eccentric ’s tycoon , and reactions to that power , than the ideals he champions . But after Justice League , Henry Cavill thinks its time for a Superman story that leans nearer to the comics .
The Superman we encounter after his resurrection in Justice League is very dissimilar to the rack alien soul we lead upon his destruction in Batman v Superman . sure as shooting , there ’s that whole affair where he whoops everyone ’s ass in a fit of Mother - Box - induced post - resurrection cult for a little piece . But when he dons his suit and joins the League in defeating Steppenwolf , he ’s quip about truth and DoJ , having a laugh , and above all , remaining keenly cognizant of minimize the number of civilians in harm ’s way from Steppenwolf ’s plans , as he flies around plagiarize buildings full of evacuees to prophylactic .
It ’s a far cry from his metropolis - level scrap with Zod in Man of Steel . It’s … well , it ’s Superman , as we ’ve hump and screw and read for X in DC ’s comics . And talk to theLA Times , Henry Cavill agrees :
I ’ve always delight the traditional , very classic view on Superman in the comic ledger . I cerebrate there ’s an tremendous complexness to that character . I roll in the hay when I was put to work with Joss he and I run into eye - to - eye on some of the aspect of Superman . That paragon of Leslie Townes Hope . That paragon . That wonderful intuitive feeling of , ‘ Oh , goodness , Superman ’s here ! ’ I have also developed a very personal and protective family relationship over this character , and it was just lovely to have the opportunity to smile and experience good .
And it ’s a version Cavill is willing to pick up on in succeeding movies , even if Superman ’s future in the DC picture show macrocosm is n’t solidly confirmed yet — other than that we know a Man of Steel sequelis a path off :
There ’s a wonderful chance to tell the Superman storey . Now there is a fantastic chance to show Superman in his full colouration and severalise a very complex , character - driven movie that is based on story and have that wonderful sensation of Leslie Townes Hope and happiness . A find - good movie with lessons laced in there as well .
slenderly depressing as it is that the histrion launch the Man of Tomorrow has to express how refreshing and good it is to smile in the role , it ’s nice that Justice League used the opportunity presented by the death and rebirth of Superman to bring us a more bright , brilliant hero .
