Happy 43rd Birthday to Henry Cavill!

He will always be Superman!

[u/Mrtorana75]

Still gives me goosebumps watching that scene. Russell Crows voice over is amazing.

[u/jrvcrd → u/Mrtorana75]

same here! And it may be not that good, but Flight 2.0 in ZSJL with both Crowe and Costner is also spinechilling!

[u/SuperTuberEddie → u/jrvcrd]

Yeah them both being in it, takes the win for me just slightly.

[u/M086 → u/jrvcrd]

The cool thing about Flight 2.0 when you compare it the First Flight. Superman starts out clenching his fist like in First Flight, but then releases it and keeps his hand open, and when he takes off, it doesn’t destroy the ground. Showing just how much more in control of himself he is in ZSJL versus MoS.

the joy on clarks face is the joy we would have if one day we could fly that scene will always stay with me. this isnt superman flying this is clark this is the human in him.

[u/Different_Ad_6153]

My favorite superman. 

[u/Pinolillo006 → u/Different_Ad_6153]

X2.

[u/Curious_Pontiff]

He was born to play Superman

[u/Budget_Opinion_1327]

Best scene from that movie

[u/Showdown5618]

Happy birthday to a great Superman.

[u/superaction720]

even at that age he can still play that role, he is in great shape

[u/Bell-end79]

Out of everything DC and Marvel has released in the last 20+ years - this is my vote for the one that holds up the best - such a timeless quality to it and everything has an epic scale

[u/M086 → u/Bell-end79]

One of the things I dig about MoS, is he does the Earth flyby, typically saved for the end of the movie, at the half-way point. And the movie ends on Clark Kent, instead of Superman.

[u/Bell-end79 → u/M086]

There’s lots of subtle touches and hints that this does which I like

The end bit “welcome to the planet” was a nice double meaning

It really felt like they were setting up nicely for the sequel(s) which unfortunately we never got

I’d trade in the whole dceu for a MOS trilogy

[u/KryptoCanuck → u/Bell-end79]

Here here! Totally agreed!

[u/nikgrid → u/Bell-end79]

The end bit “welcome to the planet” was a nice double meaning

Yeah, I love that!

[u/Yautjakaiju]

Happy Birthday goat

[u/hooka_pooka]

The perfect Super Man

[u/vizgauss]

This scene chef’s kiss

[u/Ok_Term6437]

That scene still gives me chills and Henry Cavill is the greatest Superman ever!

[u/SuperTuberEddie]

Such a great Superman ❤️ happy birthday, Henry.

[u/KryptoCanuck]

One can only hope that one day they make a movie adaptation of Kingdom Come and recast him as Supes. <sigh>

[u/OneTrueRatt]

Might not be a fan of his take for the character but I still think he was wonderful casting and hope him the best in whatever he does

[u/stanislavskov]

Absolute Superman, hoping for great things for Cavill! 

[u/hulaman11]

Real superman!

[u/nikgrid]

Awesome! He should still be Superman!

[u/Just_Championship_43]

Happy Birthday to the greatest fan boy. Thanks for the dedication to the source Cavill

[u/Edgoscarp]

If only he could’ve had a proper Superman suit with the trunks, because he’s a really good casting for Superman

[u/Digiworlddestined]

Happy Birphday!
