Henry Cavill: 'I am back as Superman'.

by Thinus Ferreira

Henry Cavill (39) says he is "back as Superman" after the star who was forced to move on and found new success in The Witcher fantasy series on Netflix, made a surprise appearance in a scene in the middle of the end credits of Black Adam which is currently in theatres.

In a new message he released on his Instagram account, and to the delight of fans, Henry Cavill said he is officially back as the DC hero on the big screen after he made his first brief appearance as Superman for the first time since donning the cape in 2017's Justice League.

"I want to make it official. I am back as Superman," Henry Cavill says, noting that him being back in the Superman costume is "a very small taste of what's to come, my friends. The dawn of hope renewed". He thanked fans for their "patience, it will be rewarded".

Henry Cavill says "I wanted to wait until the weekend was over before posting this because I wanted to give you all a chance to watch Black Adam. But not that plenty of you have I want to make it official that I'm back as Superman".

"What you saw in Black Adam is just a very small taste of the things to come. Lots to be thankful for and I'll get to that in time but I want to thank you guys most of all. Thank you for your support and thank you for your patience. I promise it will be rewarded."

Henry Cavill first played Superman in Man of Steel (2013), followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016, Justice League in 2017 which got a Zack Snyder's Justice League director's cut in 2021, and popped up in the Black Adam surprise appearance.

Henry Cavill as Superman, and his Superman career, became collateral damage when Warner Bros. parted ways with Zack Snyder, with Cavill who then moved on to become The Witcher in Netflix's live-action adaptation of the fantasy hero based on the novel series and video games, as well as playing Sherlock Holmes opposite Millie Bobby Brown in Netflix's Enola Holmes films.

With Discovery's takeover of Warner Bros and the restructuring at Warner Bros. Discovery that includes management reorganisation at Warner's film division, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and Warner Bros. Pictures co-CEOs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy are now all very enthusiastic to welcome Henry Cavill back for a new chapter of him portraying Superman on screen.

Superman is bisexual as superhero strikes up a romantic relationship with a male reporter in latest issue of DC Comics.

by Thinus Ferreira

Superman is bisexual with the iconic Man of Steel who will get involved in a relationship with a man in the upcoming latest issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El that will be released on 9 November.

"I've always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes and I'm very grateful DC and Warner Bros. share this idea," says writer Tom Taylor in a DC Comics press statement.

"Superman's symbol has always stood for hope, for truth and for justice. Today, that symbol represents something more. Today, more people can see themselves in the most powerful superhero in comics."

Jonathan Kent, the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane who is known as Jon and who was introduced in 2015, has officially taken over the mantle of Superman on Earth while Clark Kent is away from Earth, and he falls in love with a reporter just like his dad did. 

After initially striking up a friendship with reporter Jay Nakamura in August, Jon and Jay become romantically involved in a same-sex relationship within the pages of the 5th issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El from writer Tom Taylor and artist John Timms and will be shown kissing.

Following a scene where Superman mentally and physically burns out from trying to save everyone that he can, Jay is there to care for the Man of Steel.

"I'm incredibly honoured to be working beside Tom on the Superman: Son of Kal-El series showing Jon Kent tackling his complex modern life, while also saving the world from its greatest threats, villains and menaces," says John Timms.

Jim Lee, DC chief creative officer and publisher, says "We couldn't be prouder to tell this important story from Tom Taylor and John Timms".

Superman coming out as bisexual follows the Dark Night's friend Robin also coming out as bisexual in Batman: Urban Legends. The character of Tim Drake as Robin, played by Jay Lycurgo, is also being added to the third season of the live-action superhero series Titans from HBO Max.

DC Comics reintroduced Batwoman in 2006 as a lesbian of Jewish descent.
