It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's.... Henry Cavill! Meet Superman

Henry Cavill

The handsome Brit, star of HBO's "The Tudors", has landed the role of Superman in Warner Bros. remake of the movie, according to "People Magazine".  Zack Snyder, director of the upcoming flick, said,

"In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen," said the 300 and Watchmen director in a statement released Sunday. "I also join Warner Bros. and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield."

In 2005 he went up against Christian Bale for the role of Batman and lost.  This more than makes up for that loss.  Congrats Henry and Good Luck!
