    So Superman himself poses the ultimate question to brutally honest kids. This was a pretty funny video. It once again proves Cavill has buckets of charisma and I can't wait to see more from his Superman. It also proves that we need to educate kids more on Superman.

    Check it out.

    Already saw this and loved it. Henry is honestly just.....even though I'm straight... If I had a man crush....its this guy.

    On another note the way he was always trying to get them to say Superman was great. Can't wait to see Ben's video.

    Lmao that kid that said "the villains" was hilarious. Cav-El gotta couple jabs in at Ben. Cuteman, tiny little puppies with wings, he doesn't have any powers, he just sits in a cave.

    Oh yeah. One of my favourite lines was. "Batman doesn't have any powers... does he Ben?" It proved for me that if they can bring that sort of banter to the film it would work really well. Since BVS is 151 minutes long, I'm hoping Cavill gets more screen time and lines as Superman to show his charisma.

    It showed that they've built a friendship. Something I love about the cast of Avengers is that whenever you see interviews of them together (especially Hemsworth and Evans) you can tell they truly are friends and have a ball being together. I would love to see that with Ben and Henry.

    Agreed on Cavill getting more lines and screen time. Im looking more for solid characterization. To truly get Clark as a person and see his struggle and hope. Not just this dude that's lost and trying to help and barely has a personality like in MOS.

    @theincrediblesuperhulk8642: I agree with that. I've always liked the feeling that the marvel cast are like a big family. I'd like to see that between the DC cast because it would help the banter between the heroes.

    It's funny you mention that as well because I was watching the Honest Trailer for MOS and the guy literally called Cavill a walking crumpet because he had no charisma. After watching The Man From UNCLE it can be seen that Cavill has plenty of charisma and it can be perfectly applied to BVS. So bring it on.

    When they grow older, they'll say Batman.

    @soldierofel: Yes. The chemistry will show and there's nothing I love more than a well written Superman/Batman bromance.

    The Man from Uncle and Tudors show Cavills acting capabilities. He's a solid actor with good charisma and he's got large presence (One thing he showed in spades in MOS and even in Immortals) combination of both for BvS would be great.

    How could they not be friends?

    These people are literally getting paid trucks of money to play dress up and pretend they are our favorite superheroes. How that can't bring people together, I'll never know.

    In fact...I think I have an idea for World Peace...
