According to Comicbook.com, Henry Cavill has decided to step down as Superman. Instead WB is going to concentrate on the new Supergirl movies.

Well, that just makes perfect WB sense. Get rid of Snyder, give us an actually Supermanish Superman in Justice League and .....fire the actor when he finally gets to show his stuff.

It's like the WB is the captain of the titanic who, after hitting to iceberg, radios in a request for more anchors to be delivered.

Or tries to hit a second iceberg.

Good, he is so atrocious.

After Justice League I don't think anyone would wanna capitalize on him right now.

It's not a done deal, yet. His agent Danny Garcia said that "the cape is still in his closet." Henry also showed a figurine of him as Supes, today. They must still be working out negotiations.

I saw that last night. Looks like Cavill and the studio are both looking for a way to fix this or at least soft shoe it so no one looks bad.

Good. They need to reboot the universe. Cavill had a great look for the part but he is a bad actor. His performances tend to be pretty lifeless.

With an age of consent of 14, this foreign born A list mostly movie actor has been more disgusting than usual the past few days while promoting a movie. Henry Cavill ("Mission: Impossible – Fallout") (Beijing, China age of consent)

Certain people over at this studio know what happened in China, but the numbers are few. They are trying to make sure they have a chance at leaving the door open for a return. Yes, despite what he did. Apparently they feel since it was legal there and there are no witnesses who will say anything, that he might be able to come back.

As a long time fan of Henry Cavill (going all the way back to 2009, when he was doing 'The Tudors') I would most likely say that this BI is BS. If anything, Cavill is most likely gay. All those down low pics of him and his adult gay friends had to be scrubbed away from the public, when he hit it big. These BI are implying that it was a little girl. Aside from him dating an 18-year-old Tara King, there has been nothing that indicates he's into underage kids. And he was most likely bearding with Tara.

I would take these items w/a grain of salt. They were probably created to damage Henry's rep, so people wouldn't feel so bad about him losing Superman - if he lost it.

The producers of this long running franchise don't care at all about the cloud swirling around the head of this foreign born former superhero. They want to cast him as their next replacement. Henry Cavill (leaving "Superman"/replacing Ben Affleck as "Batman")

Probably had to to be in contention for Bond.
