Batman V Superman's Biggest Liability

Publish date: 2024-05-09

In the lead-up to Batman v Superman, Henry Cavill embarked on a press tour on par with the casts of The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron and Fifty Shades of Grey. In other words: it was not very good. Arguably the lowest point of his tour came when he gave an interview to Man of the World magazine, during which he pretty much said he's only in the acting business to make money.

"I'm slightly wary of saying this, because it can be frowned upon, certainly by members of my community and people outside my community," he began. "But I'm not just doing this for the art. The money's fantastic and that's something which I deem—and again, it is frowned upon—very important." Later, he complained about how awful it is flying Economy Class on a plane.

"People will be calling me a c**k as they're reading this, but travel's great as long as you're going first class," he said. "I mean, traveling to New Zealand in economy, it sucks. Especially if you're over six feet. But first class? I'm not going to ever pretend to be coy about that. I love it." Things eventually got so bad that Jezebel dubbed his press tour a "beautiful disaster." Seriously, what average moviegoer is ever going to relate to be able to relate to statements like that? We can barely afford Superman's $20 3D admission fee as it is. Boasting about money, fame, and girls isn't going to do him any favors.
