Warner Bros. Announces That Henry Cavill Is Your New Superman

Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...the second male lead from The Tudors! After much speculation and gnashing of nerd teeth, Warner Bros. has finally announced that Henry Cavill is Zack Snyder's pick to play the Man of Steel in the new Superman reboot. You might know him from the aforementioned Showtime series, or from the underrated Stardust, or as Stephanie Meyer's rumored original choice to play sullen sparkler Edward Cullen. The internet stands ready to register your applause or disgust, comic geeks. Perfect pick or shady selection? Personally, here at Movieline HQ, we're just happy someone gave the poor sod a break.
