The only role Cavill can return to:

consider:

>>149452136
Nope. Ultraman already IS Bizzaro.

>>149452026 (OP)
I like how Cavill has the Wayne Boring Superman hairline. 50's Superman is also kinda an aloof, guy so it kinda works(yes I know E2 Superman is meant to be 30's-40's Superman)

>>149452026 (OP)
He should come back just to get killed by Superboy Prime.

>>149452026 (OP)
Look it would be funny as hell but I don't think he can pull off an older lois lane

>>149452198
who knows what that black hole will do to him

>>149452026 (OP)
ENTER

>>149452551
Y'know, Cavil as marvel would actually be really cool

>>149452576
Yeah, it would. I think that ship has fuckin sailed though. Shazam 1 was fine with levy, shazam 2 is dogshit. levy is radioactive(thank god.) black adam failed.

Maybe they just slide him in, have peacemaker say "you know he's had work done right" and say jobs done.

That comic is shit, though.

>>149452026 (OP)
I would rather have any other Superman actor who is still alive

>>149453434
Like who? Hoechlin? Too short. Routh? Maybe. Welling? Maybe but he got somewhat chubby as he aged. Cain? That fat MAGA clown?

>>149452026 (OP)
I'd rather they hire somebody who can act to be Earth 2 Supes.

>>149452026 (OP)
>>149452136
>>149452551
Here's the actual perfect role.

>>149452026 (OP)
The guy from Superman Returns already nailed that role. I'd prefer if Cavill wore the Superman Beyond suit, would sort of mesh well as a representation of the darker DCEU vibe and could harken back to the Starro in James Gunn's Suicide Squad, either referencing it happened in past tense or hinting that it might occur soon.

>>149452026 (OP)
>>149452417
I mean it kinda works
>hairline like 40s/50s Superman
>MoS symbol is kind of like Earth-2 Superman symbol

>>149452026 (OP)
>The only role Cavill can return to:
Don't worry, Cavill is too good of the pedoverse. He'll only return if Snyder is directing.

>>149453545
yes, any of them
Hoechlin is the almost the same height as Cavill

>>149454303
he will be anyone's bitch

If you're gonna do Kal-L better do this too:

>>149454550
Now this one would be actually perfect.

>>149452026 (OP)

>>149454303
he came back for the Rock LMAO

>>149452026 (OP)
I'd rather see Cavill play KC Superman instead

>>149453545
is Routh still kicking as an actor? it'd be cool to see him in a role too. from the little i saw of him on the CW shows, he was pretty cool as Atom. dunno who he could play though, other than just another Superman

>>149456729
Routh also played KC Superman in the Arrowverse COIE event

>>149452026 (OP)
Hear me out

>>149452026 (OP)
This would be Gunn's choice of a return role for Cavill and I suspect Henry would do it for the meta.

>>149452026 (OP)
cast him as batman

>>149458317
please, no

>>149458317
shut the fuck up, why is this even a popular idea at all

>>149452026 (OP)
>>149452136
If henry can't play a good kind heroic Superman I don't want him to come back. Especially not if the whole point of his version of Superman coming back would be to shit on him for being a bad Superman.

>>149457981
too old for SBP

>>149459797
the whole point of Kal-L in Infinite Crisis wasn't to shit on him for being a bad superman lol, it was just a "don't try to bring back the past or you'll just fuck up the present even more" message.

the problem is that Cavill is the gritty, "mature", dark Superman and Corenswet is the heroic, colorful, hopeful Superman. The roles are reversed. Cavill can't be Kal-L>>149459797, unless they radically re-write the story arc of Infinite Crisis

>>149460042
He dies against Anti Monitor plays a red skull aesop in dark multiverse and does SOMETHING as a Black Lantern Brigadier. A mature person doesn't suck exhaust pipes and sabotage their own happiness for a deposed Fuhrer.
Earth X calling, why is your brain upside down?

So for the forseeable interim future DEATH BATTLE WILL be nothing but stand ins for Eobard and Goku of the Black Energy form & Sagume and Pandemonica.

"You must defeat my Dragon Punch to stand a chance. Sorry Ryu, I'm not a member of a cult!"

>>149460042
>too old for SBP
The only other choice right now is Finn Wittrock

>>149460132
there's not much appeal in making SBP a 40-something dude, he's a lot cooler when he's a brash young 20-something Clark who thinks he's better. he's called Superboy for a reason

>>149461495
They didn't rename Soldier Boy

>>149452026 (OP)
I’m just waiting for the inevitable DCEU Kingdom Come cash grab 10-15 years from now

>>149457969
I'd like this Martian Manhunter design much more if he lost the pants.

>>149460042
>unless they radically re-write the story arc of Infinite Crisis
Can I just say it didn't really make sense that Alexander and Prime were suddenly mustache twirlingly super-evil in Infinite Crisis when they had been messianically nice guys knowingly and willingly sacrificing themselves for others in COIE?

>The only role Cavill can return to:
Return to what, yo?

>>149452026 (OP)

>>149454364
Definitely not Cain. He got negative PR and ballooned into a whale.

>>149453592
NAH

>>149455257
MEH

>>149457969
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

not really

>>149468240
Why elaborate?

>>149452026 (OP)
Good for him, yo.

>>149453592
That's Bradley Cooper, mate.

>>149459766
Because it would piss everyone off and it would be glorious.

>>149459797
>Especially not if the whole point of his version of Superman coming back would be to shit on him for being a bad Superman
You mean Snyder's version of Superman.
https://youtu.be/FkklBeLfZxo?si=zPS2az3PWJN_sh4K
At 5:40 Snyder talks about being approached to make a Superman movie. At 6:25, he brags about how he'd tear down Supes. You can't really blame Cavil when the director was set on breaking Superman.

https://youtu.be/v2WZpY7HtmI?si=jGLO5M-WfW2lA4G5
At around 0:25, Cavil gets asked about making a new Superman movie. He goes on to describe his ideal version of Supes being "joyful, hopeful, powerful" and wants to portray Superman's full power in the role of a protector unlike what we see in MoS. You can't really fault Cavil when everyone else around him was pushing for a darker DC and a darker Superman. Either way, it's too late to bring back Cavil as Earth-1 Supes. Either make him Earth-2 Supes or Kingdom Come Supes as Routh did for the Arrowverse.

>>149455697
Cavil's manager at thebwas The Rock's ex. Cavil's potential as a Superman was wasted by everyone around him. He never had a shot at being a good Supes despite nailing the look just as Garfield never had a solid chance at Spider-Man despite nailing the looks of Peter Parker.

>>149457981
Cavil's Lois even looks like SBP's Lois. I don't think age would be an issue. Just make him Superman Prime.

>>149471462
They should set up SBP as an almost horror villain, in a way. Have him start off somewhat unaware of his true identity, maybe start off by simply having him think he's God

>>149461515
>using the Boys as your metric of quality

>>149461515
yeah but Soldier Boy isn't predominantly known for being a teenager/early 20s character, is he? Superboy-Prime is called that because he's a Superboy variant, if he was in his 40s he'd be Superman-Prime, who's less interesting

>>149470845
there's a theory floating around that Jor-El in the movie is actually Zod

>>149471584
>>149472204
Soldier Boy is also a throwaway Captain America expy who's entire purpose is to be banged yearly by Homelander and told he wasn't enthusiastic enough to join the Seven. His name really isn't that deep.
