Joss Whedon Says Henry Cavill Is Best Superman Since Christopher Reeve

By Kofi Outlaw

In what is surely not going to be a flame-war-igniting statement, Avengers and Justice League director Joss Whedon through down the gauntlet recently, with a post proclaiming that Henry Cavill is the best Superman since Christopher Reeve.

Whedon posted the statement to Twitter, saying: "Cavill is a GREAT Superman - definitely the best since Reeves, and could take the top spot with the right material/barber":

If that wasn't enough to invite all sorts of trolls out of the woodwork (both fans of DCEU who hated Whedon's Justice League, and Marvel fans who hate Zack Snyder's DCEU), Whedon also committed the cardinal sin of misspelling Christopher Reeve's name as "Reeves" in his original tweet:

Well, as you can probably expect, that was enough to open the floodgates:

Um, we're not sure what this picture is meant to convey, exactly - but we do agree that Cavill's Superman needs some better material under him.

Clearly this issue was too big for just DC and Marvel references.

...Because clearly the Internet does, Mr. Whedon.
