Joss Whedon Says Henry Cavill Is Best Superman Since Christopher Reeve
In what is surely not going to be a flame-war-igniting statement, Avengers and Justice League [...]
Super G.O.A.T.
Cavill is a GREAT Superman - definitely the best since Reeves, and could take the top spot with the right material/barber https://t.co/FWwc3WBoLP

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.

Well , we certainly know YOUR material was straight garbage. Superman never felt more off and more fake then he did in your disastrous reshoots of JL. What imagination do you have as a director ?Just trot out a Donner rip off to pander to toxic nerds who are ignorant ? Like you

You're such a cynical!!

You have NO right to say "with the right material" when YOU made this abomination in Justice League.
Snyder made THE BEST Superman movie with THE BEST Superman.
DC characters are too great for you, thanks God you're not doing Batgirl. pic.twitter.com/ZFQrdzdOgv
OUCH. It's really saying something when online fans don't think you're good enough for the DCEU!
