Henry was born to wear the cape. This is the Superman we have all been waiting for.

Not gonna hate on Christopher Reeves portrayal of Superman because he did good, but Henry is spot on and he just seemed more believable as the Man of Steel!

Reeve made us believe a man could fly and will forever be the face of the cape.

I also prefer his Clark Kent.

Patrick Stewart

Yes 🤣 the bumbling fumbling Clark. Love it.

Henry’s abs are impressive in the darker modern suit, but Christopher Reeve is iconic in the classic suit and the brighter colors stand out as the “real” Superman to me.

I hope you have that flying attempt on film 😂.

Patrick Stewart

💯 agree with you on that. Cavill is impressive as Supes to be sure, but I get up in the 80s believing I could fly because of the iconic Christopher Reeve. I still have the miniature cast on display to remember my flying attempt. He will always be my Superman.
