10 Subtle Details That Made Henry Cavill’s Superman Performance So Perfect

Henry Cavill’s Superman has many moments of subtle and understated perfection throughout his run in the DCEU. From his very first appearance in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, Cavill’s Superman captures the sheer physical power and stalwart heroism of the Last Son of Krypton, with Snyder’s films taking Superman on a deconstructionist arc that tests his resolve on multiple levels. Despite a brief return as Superman in 2022’s Black Adam, Cavill will not portray Superman in James Gunn’s forthcoming DCU. Instead, the role will be assumed by David Corenswet in Superman: Legacy and beyond.
