Henry Cavill has been removed as Superman in the DCEU do you think he did a good job portraying him and do you think removing him might be a major blow to the DCEU which is already suffering from poor reviews in most of their movies?

  1. The problem with Superman in the DCEU was due to very poor script and directorial decisions taken early on, compounded by a studio attempting to rush through a shared universe, which made it impossible to credibly course-correct in time. Henry Cavill wasn’t given anything to work with. 
  2. To be honest, the DCEU needed to reboot anyway, and replacing their Batman and Superman at the same time (while keeping their Wonder Woman as the one bright spot) is as good a way to do that as possible.
  3. OTOH, I don’t know which way the DCEU is going in the future. The Shazam trailer was a good start to bringing new tones and emotional palettes, Wonder Woman 1984 is probably in safe hands, but I don’t know if the Cyborg, Flash, or GLC movies will be any good, and there’s some projects out there – David Ayer’s Gotham City Sirens, the Leto Joker film, the Joaqin Phoenix Joker film – that sound really dire. Hard to divine a direction per se.
