Cavill Talks About Superman's True Weaknesses And Challenges In 'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice'
'All those things I can do. All those powers. And I couldn't even save him.'
- Superman: The Movie
One of the fundamental tenets of a great Superman story is the idea that he wants so badly to help, to save, and to protect those around him that he's constantly confronted with the fact that when it comes to certain things he's helpless despite his extraordinary abilities. This theme has been explored in countless books, and in some of the best movies based on the 76 year old character. According to Henry Cavill, the man now tasked with bringing him to life, that central conflict will be explored again in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice when it comes out later this month.
In an in-depth conversation with Entertainment Weekly, the actor gave a series of insightful answers about why, as the Five For Fighting song says, "It's not easy to be" Superman.

Clearly, much has changed in the world since then.
Of course, in all seriousness, VH1 also spotlighted plenty of other nostalgia-worthy phenomena hyper-specific to 2002 and 2003—like the return of the movie musical, Nelly’s evergreen musical reason to take your clothes off, and...
