Superman
Character » Superman appears in 19040 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Henry Cavill Cast As Superman
Cavill was apparently the front runner but a decision hadn't been made up until now. Cavill just finished The Cold Light of Day and will also star in this Fall's Immortals, directed by Tarsem Sing. Cavill also starred in Showtimes The Tudors television series.
For those concerned that a British actor is playing Superman, don't forget that Christian Bale is also British. What might not be well known is according to Deadline, Cavill also auditioned to play the Dark Knight and was also a contender for James Bond (but was said to be too young at the time).
Cavill will now have to practice wearing the familiar red and blue tights with the movie being targeted for a December 2012 release.
" Good actor ^_^ And I read a rumor somewhere that the story would be based on Superman: Birthright, so i'm rather looking forward to this movie =) "I really hope it is. Birthright is the best story ever :)
He looks like a good choice for the role, I just hope they make him tougher and not a pretty boy Superman.
Cool I guess.
Definitely has that iron-jawed, blue-eyed look that Supes needs, but I'll wait to see if he can play the role convincingly.

"Captain America can't act. Go figure. "So true :(
I still vote for Tom Welling
Supermans fictional physical features are Tom Wellings real life physical features
" Awesome. Batman = British Spiderman = British Superman = British Wolverine = Australian (Ok not British, but we have the same queen, so...close enough! xD) "O_O
Superman, Spiderman, Batman, & Jim Gordon, are all British. That isn't the surprising part of the news. I'm just shocked how much that photo looks like Clark Kent
The movie all depends on the villain. Routh was ok but the movie sucked because of storylines and how they used lex luther as the main villain.
If the next film is based on birthright, it should be cool. I like Lex Luther and all but he should only be a supporting villain for the next few films. Superman movies need a heavy hitter Braniac is a perfect choice. if portrayed correctly.
" Poor Brandon Routh, still say he was not the problem with that movie. But this guy looks like he will do a good job. "I agree. He was good IMO.

I wouldn't mind mind him in a supportive role but not main villain.
