In the mythology of comic books, Superman is the survivor of a dying alien planet who is sent to earth to become its protector. For his new Superman movie, the director Zack Snyder did not have to search quite as far to cast his title character, but in the tradition of previous installments of the franchise, he has settled on a relative unknown to take up the mantle of the Man of Steel.
Henry Cavill, a British actor whose credits include the Showtime series “The Tudors, the 2007 fantasy film “Stardust” and the coming adventure “Immortals,” will play Superman and his secret identity, Clark Kent, in a film that Mr. Snyder is directing for Warner Brothers, the studio said on Sunday.
Does the ultra-violent new movie, Boy Kills World, glorify violence or encourage a world without it? We see the latter.

This is dumb. WTF guys? How many people are begging for Routh and how many people suggested better ideas? Then they go with a British guy hardly anyone in america knows about. This picture makes him look like some pretty boy Twilight actor.
I guess this is Hollywood and the same thing will happen with Uncharted too. Might as well just go cast Taylor Lotner in everything.
Um okay? I am not that excited for a Superman movie since Superman is not really my favorite superhero. But, who is this guy?
Interesting. I really don't know what to say about this casting choice. He does look...I dunno... like he could maybe pull it off but does this guy actually met the physical dimensions of Superman?
I will have to see him as Superman before I make any judgments.
I wasn't really attached to any of the fan suggestions for casting, so seems like a good pick to me! He's not super-recognizable and he has the build.
As for him being British...so what? There are plenty of British actors in American TV and film and bet most viewers don't know that they are!
