Zack Snyder shared this photo (via, thanks Mac) of Henry Cavill's screen-test for Man of Steel - I'm guessing this is 2012-ish? (Has it really only been four years since Man of Steel came out? That seems impossible.) Anyway that is apparently Christopher Reeve's costume that Henry is wearing, or a facsimile thereof. Muscly Zack Snyder alone in a dressing room with a hungry-for-the-role Henry Cavill who is wearing fetish-spandex and sitting beside a big wastebasket full of crumpled-up kleenex tissues... hmmm I seem to be writing my own fan-fic right now, you'll have to excuse me...
