Henry Cavill explained that he doesn’t consider Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to be a Superman sequel. “As far as the individual character is concerned, this is not a Superman sequel,” says Cavill. “It’s more of an introduction to Batman, an opening to Justice League, and an expansion of the world that was created in Man of Steel.”

But most importantly, Cavill admitted what everyone already knows — most people prefer Batman over Superman.

“There’s plenty of time for individual Superman sequels,” the actor says. “He’s a tough character to tell. People like the darker vigilante. I think it speaks to the human psyche more easily rather than the god-like being that we can’t really understand. Once we have a more expansive universe we can delve more into the character of Superman and hopefully tell more stories.”

This is not Cavill admitting people prefer the Dark Vigilante, it means we can relate easier to Batman.

He's just saying what the rest of us already know to be true. Batman is more popular and has been for some time.

At least we will be getting more superman movies though. I really like Cavill and the darker superman he portrays.

...Well that's a fine opinion, I partially agree with, but doesn't apply to me.

Eh, I suppose.

It true. Nothing wrong with that. I mean if I had to say the two most like heroes atm it would Be Batman and Not Spider - Man Ironman. Just because Superman is harder to write than both. that's not surprising seeing how he's the only reason we have the heroes of today.

@blade_r: Can't argue with that logic. Now if you can just say the same thing about Spider-Man (in comparison to Batman), all will be right with the world.

Henry Cavill is an extremely honest guy, also although I like them equally, Batman is like way more popular right now. That's something DC really needs to work on, but I think when BvS & JL are out Superman, WW & Flash will gain a lot more fans.

I like both a great deal.

However with Superman it's probably more out of respecting the character and mythos rather then actually enjoying him as a character.

With Batman I sometimes feel that the character's mythos is a bit... obtuse really, I mean most of it doesn't even matter anymore and Ra's Al Ghul's stories have never interested me... but with Batman I like the character more since he's a bit easier to relate to then the god like Superman.

But Superman would curb stomp Batman in a fight.

Everything Batman related on this website... no, all of the Internet and media should be censored and sanctioned against by the United Nations.
