Henry Cavill Talks ‘Batman v Superman’ and More!
By Skip Harvey
I’d like to go on record and say that Henry Cavill is a pretty great Superman. No matter what we all might think of the movie Man of Steel, the potential of Batman v Superman or the extended DC Films universe, Cavill is pretty much the perfect modern onscreen Superman.

While doing press for Guy Ritchie’s Man from U.N.C.L.E. reboot, Cavill weighed in on his role in Batman v Superman and beyond.
"From the Batman v Superman trailer that came out at Comic-Con, it did seem like the plot was tied into the destruction Superman causes in Man of Steel.Cavill: There’s a big plan in place at WB for the whole DC franchise. So, all of this stuff ties in. They’re not thinking from movie to movie, they’re thinking from a big tent pole type thing and each story has its own story, which is attached to the major issue. Yeah, there’s a big plan.Well, based on that GIF that went around directly comparing the footage from the BvS trailer and Man of Steel, it just feels even more like a response. Did you see that GIF?Cavill: [Laughs] I’ve seen a lot of GIFs.But this one is neat. It shows Ben Affleck in the street watching the building get torn apart, side by side with Michael Shannon in Man of Steel causing the damage and they match perfectly.Cavill: Oh, cool.Hammer: Oh, that is cool. That is very cool. That’s a little Easter egg.So, it’s a direct reference to what happened in Man of Steel.Cavill: You’ll see a lot of that.Hammer: I was wondering about that in the trailer! I was like, that is a big building that just got chopped in half. And that’s from Man of Steel?Cavill: That’s when Zod loses his mind and can’t control his heat vision and blasts everything out.–UproxxSince the rest of the DCU pivots around these events, let’s hope Batman v Superman is actually good.We want to hear from you!
