August 3, 2011: Henry Cavill Talks About Superman Comic Books

Superman Movie News io9.com posted their video interview with Henry Cavill from last month's Comic Con International in San Diego, and asked him all about his character in his up-coming film "Immortals", but also asked him about what comic books he read to prepare for his role as Superman in "Man of Steel".

    How is your Clark Kent coming along?

    Coming along very well, thank you.

    What comic books did you read to prepare for this character? For Superman?

    I read as much as I possibly could, so yeah, I mean I just got the DC Comics app, downloaded as much as I could, got as many of the comic books sent to me in the mail as I could, and just immersed myself in the character as much as possible.

    Were there any few authors that you loved the best?

    You're going to catch me out on the authors, I'm afraid. I did love Superman: Doomsday, The Death of Superman, Superman Returns, the New Krypton saga especially, Red Son. Red Son was cool because it had the alternate story line. A lot of them I love, but recently, the one I read most recently was the New Krypton saga, and I really enjoyed that.
