10 Things To Know Before Watching Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

8) Clark Kent Is Different From Other Interpretations

While we saw a new version of his origin story in the movie, something Man of Steel steered clear of for the most part was depicting the usual image of Superman’s alter ego Clark Kent as a bumbling journalist, with the character only joining the Daily Planet at the end of the movie. As such, BvS will be the first time we get to see Henry Cavill take on this iconic aspect of the role. So, how does he do?

Well, basically the best thing to do would be to not compare him to the traditional Clarks. Den of Geek says that “Clark Kent lacks the affable, unassuming quality that Christopher Reeve bought to the role. In fact, Cavill looks so poised, commanding and conspicuously muscular in his Clark guise that it’s a wonder why Perry White doesn’t shout at him for spending more time down the gym than at his desk.”
