When asked about what look does he prefer for Superman, director Zack Snyder had said that he preferred the bigger, more muscular Superman as drawn by Jim Lee. Star Henry Cavill worked very hard to build a big, muscular physique, exactly the look envisioned by his director.

Jonathan Kent: You're not just anyone. One day, you're going to have to make a choice. You have to decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be. Whoever that man is, good character or bad, it's going to change the world.
