Unsurprisingly, Henry Cavill has again proved to fans that he's an actual hero. The actor took to Instagram today and shared a photo of him suited up alongside some very brave kids. But, if you don't see Henry at first, make sure you look to the left of the photo. It can be hard to differentiate the buff actor from the row of all-new Justice League standees behind him.
The actor posted a short message alongside the photo to honor some superheroes he met through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. "I had the good fortune of meeting some real Superheroes last week. Orin, your strength is exceptional and Summer your support is a rock that is irreplaceable," Henry wrote. "You are both inspirations to us all!"
Assuming a traditional Superman stance, fans can see the actor dressed in full costume as the Last Son of Krypton. Henry has his hands resting out from his hips, showing off his bulging physique and sculpted superhero suit. And, in the background, fans were quick to notice several Justice League standees.
The six stand-ups feature the main cast of Justice League as Superman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Batman can be seen in various stances. The standees are giving fans the perfect opportunity to dissect the appearances of newbie heroes like Cyborg and Aquaman, but some are questioning the costumes that Superman and Batman are sporting.
For instance, fans are questioning why Superman and Batman look so similar to their Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice appearances. Even Wonder Woman's costume looks largely the same, and many are wondering what that might mean in terms of timelines. And, after all the speculation about Superman's black suit, fans are scratching their heads as to whether there will be any costume changes for the iconic hero.
Russ Burlingame, ComicBook.com's DC Comics expert, commented on the costuming controversy. "It's interesting to note that, in spite of all that 'black costume' talk, so far we've only seen Henry Cavill dressed in a costume identical to the one from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," he explained.
"It makes me wonder whether he's not changing his suit at all — a rarity among superhero sequels — or if this means that most of his appearances in the film will be in flashback."
