March 31, 2016: Dean Cain Talks About "Batman v Superman"

Dean Cain Dean Cain, the actor who played Superman in the 1990s "Lois & Clark" TV series, and who is currently appearing on "Supergirl" as Jeremiah Danvers, revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he's seen "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and thought the film was "very cool".

WARNING: THEIR ARE SPOILERS AHEAD!

    I see that you spent part of your Easter Sunday in the theater, checking out Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice at the Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas in Westlake Village. What did you think?

    Yes, my son and I went to see it. My son hated it because Superman died. It made me very happy that he took it so personally and that he has such a strong connection to the character (laughs). The movie obviously was so well made; the effects were incredible. It was too long, though, and I admit, I dozed off a tiny bit, but maybe that's because I was tired after a lot of traveling. Ben was great as Batman and Henry is a very good Superman. This incarnation is so dark compared to the lightness of the Superman I've grown to know and love, as seen in the two versions that I grew up with - Christopher Reeve and myself. That's the only difference to me. [This movie] inhabits a dark world and Superman is such an alien in that world. Wonder Woman is really easy on the eyes, and I love that they introduced the other guys, the Justice League, because those stories are very cool. I loved how they did that. But I don't see how you have a Justice League without Superman.

    But that is left open with the last-second rustling of the dirt on his coffin, right?

    That is so subtle (laughs).

    What's your take on Henry Cavill as Superman? And his suit?

    The suit looks fantastic; the suit is amazing! I would call him lucky to get that suit instead of the Lycra that I had. Henry is a big, physical guy, and he looks "super," if you will (laughs). I've met him before and he has that Superman special something. This is a different incarnation, as I've mentioned. My favorite of all time will always be Christopher Reeve. He'll always be Superman in my eyes.
