Henry Cavill asks kids: Batman or Superman?
Henry Cavill faced off against his greatest foes: Batman fans.
The Batman v. Superman actor set out to convince some kids dead set on loving Batman that Superman was actually better. Through the charity platform Omaze, Cavill questioned some kids on whether they preferred Batman or Superman, and which of the two DC Comics superheroes would win in a fight.
The Superman actor was brutally rebuffed by some hardcore Batman fans and one kid who was a pretty big fan of the supervillains.
Henry: "Why is Batman better?"
Girls: "He can fly."
Henry: "I mean, he can only fly when he falls off something. Because Superman can fly."
Girls. "No. Batman can fly because he's got wings."
Henry: "He kind of has wings, but he can't go up. He can only go down. Superman can do both, can't he? Is Batman still better than Superman?"
Girls: "Yes."
Oof, harsh.
Cavill and fellow Batman v. Superman cast members Jesse Eisenberg and Ben Affleck in an Omaze experience that will donate money to three different nonprofit organizations: Eastern Congo Initiative, SEED Project, and the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. Contest winners will get the chance to fly with Cavill in a helicopter, ride in the Batmobile with Affleck and photobomb the red carpet with Eisenberg.
Batman v. Superman hits theaters March 25.
