January 10, 2016: USA Today Explores "Batman v Superman"

Batman v Superman USA Today has published an indepth article exploring "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", with new interview quotes from Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, and Henry Cavill.

Here's what Henry had to say about Superman and his confrontation with Batman...

    Cavill doesn't make a separation between Superman and Clark Kent, who was seen taking his job at the Daily Planet at the end of Man of Steel. In Dawn of Justice, Clark and Bruce have confrontations in costume and out, since Superman is equally irked that Batman doesn't have criminals' civil liberties in mind as a one-man army. (They both get on the same page soon enough when they see young ne'er-do-well Lex Luthor, played by Jesse Eisenberg, up to no good.)

    Batman v Superman is very much about humanity's perspective on the Man of Steel, Cavill says, and when he faces Batman, the last son of Krypton knows he can put him in the ground - a weakness exploited by Affleck's savvy do-gooder.

    "He can sure as hell take Batman out if he wants to, and Batman takes advantage of that," Cavill says, comparing Superman's constrained Clark Kent side to a dad playing football with a bunch of children.

    "He's not going to go all-out against the kids because he'll end up smashing people around. It's the idea of still wanting to have fun but no one gets hurt, so you're being careful about where your knees and elbows are going. That's what Clark is for me, but Superman is far more relaxed. Superman is dad just being dad at home."
