I think Rob did a good job with his listing. He looks around an inch shorter than Will smith and could look up to 2 inches shorter than Ben Affleck in the new premiere photos.

Editor Rob Cavill is probably in normal 2cm shoes at this event. I did look through and I think Smith if standing with good posture will be an inch taller.

There seem to be so few really good shots of him with Ben Affleck during recent premieres of their movie. I'll add the best ones I can find where they are standing about as close next to one another. The problem is usually one standing in front or behind the other slightly, or not standing side by side, or the angle is off/weird. Henry almost always has impeccable posture on the red carpets (and a consisten pose he almost always eems to do). Anyway...

Now that I saw SomeGuy's pictures of Henry being nearly the same height as Ben Affleck with similar footwear, I think Henry needs a upgrade. I think 6'0.75" would be better. He's above Armie Hammer's eye level despite Armie having footwear advantages.
Ben does have a big head though.

Nicole if in your opinion Affleck being 6'1.5 is comical then Cavill in my opinion being under 6 ft is laughable as well. Other wise Affleck's only 6'1 as he's only 2 inches around shorter. He's around inch shorter than claimed 6'1.5 Elizabeth I forgot her last name while they looked they one inch or so footwear (Elizabeth's heels looked really small).
I think Cavill can look somewhere in the 6'0-0.5 range. He looks 6 ft flat sometimes but sometimes gives an impression of being near 6'1. As for Affleck I'd say he's 6'2 range but 6'3 and 4 that he's been listed is too high.

Nicole said on 11/Jan/16
Sorry but, Affleck being 6'1/2 ft is comical. He's been onscreen and red carpets for 20+ years and consistently towers over anyone around him, unlike actors like Cavill and the like who's height differentiates with different shoes. I don't think Affleck's any taller than a weak 6'3 ft but, there's no way he's shorter than 6'2 ft.
As far as Cavill, I think he's 5'11. He wears elevators and seems to have unusually short arms and small hands for his height; which leads me to think he's shorter than the 6'1 he claims.

Henry Cavill is about 5'11. His arms look shorter because he wears lifts to
be taller. Ben Affleck is 6'1.5 max not 189cm. Brandon Routh is like 189-190cm and
he is definitely taller than Affleck.

I'm an artist with a lot of experience drawing people. You can often tell if someone is lying about his height by looking at the length of his arms. With some exceptions, tall people tend to have arms to look long. When you look at photos of Henry playing superman you will notice that his arms appear rather stubby. Some might claim this is due to being 'bulked up' but I disagree. If I had to guess I would bet money that Henry is under 5' 10" max and wears risers in his shoes to put him closer to 6'.

Dejavu, actually in the first picture you posted it seems that there're less than 2" between they, while in the second the prospective of the photographer is not good, so you might follow the behind lines and then you can see that among Affleck and Cavill there're not more than 1,5"!
However rob i'm a bit confused by this guy...sometimes he does look 6'0.25" while others more 6'0.75"...
For example with Nolan he does look 6'0.75-1", considering Nolan is an honest 5'11.25" guy!
Definitely 6'0.5" is a good listing IMO!

If Armie's eye level is around 5'11.5" then Cavill easily clears 6 foot. Rob's listing makes sense.

He has impeccable posture, and he's of a fairly large build in such a way that can make him look taller. But, I honestly don't see him taller than currently listed. With 6'4.5" Armie Hammer at a recent movie premiere:

I think people is overestimating his height due his perfect posture in almost every pic. Stephen Amell edge out Cavill, and Amell is probably a weak 6'1'' since he looks more than an inch shorter next to 6'2'' David Ramsey who Rob met. So Cavill isn't over 184cm, and could be 6'0.25''

More like 186 cm out of bed and 184 cm before bed. That's way sometimes he looks to others like a 6'1 guy (he surely is 185 cm range in the morning and early afternoon) and sometimes he doesn't seem much more than a 6'0.5 man in pictures.

I think a 1/4 upgrade would be fair. Yes he does have near perfect posture but always looks noticeably taller than 6 footers. 6' 0.75 should be his listing.

Grizz - you're putting far too much emphasis on the heights of these characters. The filmmakers wanted Brolin at 5'9 originally but when they cast Affleck they did it with a mind to make Batman as hulking as possible. In the suit Affleck stands at 6'5, whereas Cavill's boots keep him at no more than 6'1, and likewise Superman was kept "otter mode" with thinner waist and athletic appearance over Batman's "bear mode". The point is that Superman, though smaller and slimmer, is still completely the one who looks more imposing in scenes. It's a clever power play - bigger isn't better. Notice how in their scenes facing each other Superman stands relaxed and passive whilst Batman stands ready for combat.
The message here is, quite literally, size doesn't matter. Quite the opposite to what you were thinking!
In costume:
Superman - 6'1
Batman - 6'5
Batman in Iron Man Cosplay - 6'6 (as far as I know)
Wonder Woman - 6'1 (I think)

He looks shorter than Kevin Costner who is 6'1", Costner was a varsity athlete, and did not exaggerate his height. Cavill did work as a male model for a while but models do exaggerate their heights. For him to say 6'1" when he is really 6'0.5" is not a huge stretch.

Armie Hammer is supposed to be 6'4.5" and Cavill looks like a little kid next to him also Cavill looked roughly the same height as 6 feet tall Chris Evans and he looked shorter than his 6'1" co-star Kevin Costner. So I am certain this listing for Cavill at 6'0.5" tall is correct and very accurate. He does not want to pass himself off as less than 6'1" tall because that height is already considered short for Superman the other popular Superman actors were 6'3" and taller like Welling, Routh, and Reeve. Of course he has a far more muscular physique than those actors except for maybe Welling and Routh who were well built.

I actually met Henry several months ago at an airport we were both at a security checkpoint and had our shoes off, I am 184cm tall and me and him were shoulder shoulder and were equal height, he is not 6-1 as he claims, that would be his height in shoes. Also, he was the same height as 6 feet tall Chris Evans at the BAFTA awards, there was some controversy because he is British and kind of short for Superman, he is good as Superman, just not as charismatic or memorable in the role as Christopher Reeve.

@Dmeyer: It is possible the 70 year old guy you know was actually 5'11.5 and went with 181 instead of 182, and today 180cm range, so really more like 1.5-2cm of loss, especially if he dips under 5'11. Some guys, especially ones under 6ft, can hold on till 70, and just drop 1.5-2cm by late 70's.
The average loss for a man by 70 is 2-3cm, so just 1cm at over 70 would be excellent. I can think of a few celebs who made it to 70 with 1-2cm loss, you have Sly Stallone and the late Leonard Nimoy(feels odd saying that...)
But yeah, your friend did well, whether it was half an inch or so.

I have no idea why Affleck is listed as 6'3" and often 6'4" if this is true, then Cavill really is 6'1". He definitely is over 6 feet tall. He generated controversy for being British and not being as tall as other Superman actors but I think he has been a good Superman. The interesting thing is that he never refers to himself as Superman in Man of Steel and I do not believe he is ever referred to as Superman in the film by anyone either except by Lois in one scene saying the word "Super".
I still would peg Affleck at 6'2" he seems the same size as his Chasing Amy co-star Jason Lee who is 6'2 as well, and also next to Hugh Jackman the two are the same height. Cavill himself is slightly taller than Chris Evans, who is nearly 6 feet tall.

I still would peg Affleck at 6'2" he seems the same size as his Chasing Amy co-star Jason Lee who is 6'2 as well, and also next to Hugh Jackman the two are the same height. Cavill himself is slightly taller than Chris Evans, who is nearly 6 feet tall.

I have no idea why people say Cavill is a "Dark" Superman, because he is not, he is a more grounded and more "realistic" Superman, the reason people believe he is a dark Superman is because of David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan who wrote the story, and Christopher Nolan who produced the movie and had a hand in the creative direction of the movie despite the fact that Zack Snyder directed. Man of Steel certainly was not the warm and fuzzy romantic Superman movie that characterized the Reeve films, and I think they went in this direction because Superman Returns was a long soap opera and was a chick flick disguised as a comic book movie, that one was clearly made more for female audiences. The studio wanted to make a more action oriented and macho Superman, and reinvent the character to separate him from the Reeve Superman, and I believe they succeeded, still he is not as good as Reeve, Reeve was a perfect 10 as Superman, Cavill is a 8.5.
As far as height there have been pictures of him with his co-star Kevin Costner, who is 6'1" and Costner appears a bit taller, so I think this listing spot on accurate. Cavill is a very good Superman, he just won't be etched in stone years after his stint ends like Reeve.

i am a bit confused regarding the "triangle heights" between Cooper, Cavill and Affleck. Cooper does look in the most of the pictures not more than 1.5" under Affleck (with similar shoes), while Cavill with different shoes (and probably he had a small advantage) does look close to 2" shorter than Affleck.

Rob until now i was sure Cavill was a legit 6'0.5" but now i am not sure about it.
It's possible he's a legit 6'0.25" (like Kellan Lutz) and with a perfect posture he does look a bit taller?

I read somewhere that Reeve is either a Virgo or a Libra, I think a Virgo and Cavill is a Taurus, but Libra men are supposed to be wimpy, and Taurus men are supposed to be very masculine, but in my eyes, Reeve was a more masculine Superman by every measure, and to me astrology is a bunch of made up woo anyway. Reeve was a product of a different era, and Cavill is a Gen Y Superman, seeing his character crying over killing a mass murderer like Zod had me wincing, while Reeve's character just tossed Zod down a ditch. Reeve was born in late September so he has the characteristics of both a Virgo and a Libra. Reeve was definitely mesomorphic and his suit was not enhanced. Also in Man of Steel there was a scene where Jor El shows his Kalel his suit, and it shows musculature, people claim Cavill is more ripped than Reeve but his suit is more enhanced, it is true he is already muscular but his suit enhances his looks and makes him look very cut, while Reeve looks bulky and has slightly more body fat. In those days people did not have fat burner pills and no one ever heard of low carb and cutting diets, supplements like whey protein only became common in the 1990s, most weight lifters used to eat raw eggs to supplement their protein. If Reeve was around today, I bet he would be 250 pounds of muscle on a 6'4" frame given the kind of supplements and trainers available.

Reeve was a great Superman for sure! Had the look and build down too. But Joe you really are just putting Cavill's efforts down. His build was great in MOS and it's blady hard work bulking up and being cut too. He's even larger now in BvS and easily 210lbs and gotten even more broader along with having a bigger chest, arms and legs. Also his height 6.05/1 has been boosted with 2 inch heels in the new suit so he's gonna look 6ft2/3 in the new movie too. Plus Cavill has a small head which helps with proportions too! Cavill also looks like a Jim Lee drawing come to life I feel. Anyways I like both Superman's for different reasons and I feel they are perfect for thier times.

The knowledge that people have about body building and fitness that people have today is much greater than they had during Reeve's day, that is why Reeve had to work out for months to get fit for Superman, also Reeve had to do the work all by himself, he had to go Rocky Balboa on his own which is all props to man. Cavill was babied by the producers, they got him one of the best trainers in the business who spent hours with him, put him on a gaining diet, its not a surprised he bulked up so fast, but if you look at Cavill he was not more muscular than Reeve, Cavill was 198 pounds on a 6'0.5" frame as Superman while Reeve was 225 pounds on a 6'4" frame, so Reeve was actually the same size but had slightly more body fat than Cavill. Also Cavill's suit which has been showin a museum is ribbed with musdulature to make him appear more ripped even though he is already muscular. Reeve did not have that luxury. Reeve was also a more masculine Superman by far, Cavill seemed to much a pretty boy, that is why when he is Clark they made him up as a lumberjack with a beard.

Reeve was actually 175 pounds when he was chosen for the role of Superman and packed on 50 pounds of muscle, pretty impressive for a guy who knew nothing about weight lifting, had no trainer, during a time when people knew nothing about weights. Cavill was teamed up with a former Marine.

I got to agree with Joe about Cavill's body compared to the other actors who portrayed Superman, the other actors were classic mesomorphs. Reeve, Routh, and Welling, all had broad shoulders, narrow waists, and a V-taper that made them look very athletic, none of them put on weight years after their Superman days. You can see in photo above that his midsection appears "big". And even his Superman suit was modified to have fake musculature even though he put on a lot of muscle for the role, he was allegedly around 205 pounds when they were filming Man of Steel, I am not sure about his body fat ratio, but he was very lean, but you can tell that his waist to should ratio is not the same as other actors who portrayed Superman, and he has been very open about his weight problems. He is clearly someone who needs the assistance of a trainer and a dietician to maintain a physique for an action hero role. The difference between him and the much leaner Chris Evans is like night and day and yes Evans is only about an inch shorter than Cavill, and my most educated guess for Evans is around 5'11 to 5'11.5", although Evans claims to be 6 feet I do not think he is that tall, he only seems slightly taller than Robert Downey Jr., he is not a big guy, just medium tall. Medium tall in my book is around 5-11 to 6-1, and tall is anything above up to 6-3, very tall is over 6-3. Most people expect Superman, being the ultimate superhero to be the very tall category.
I can imagine that Cavill is going to pack on weight when his acting career winds down, I saw photos of him off set enjoying fattening foods. Cavill is a Taurus and people say those with that Sun Sign and the Cancer Sun sign tend to get fat easily, I honestly think Astrology is all bunk, its just how you take care of your body. The three fittest actors in Hollywood happen to be Stallone, Cruise, and Harrison Ford and they have the Sun Sign Cancer, so the Astrologers who claim Cancers get fat are just full of it, the same who claim Tauruses get fat. I heard they say Libras are thin, but tell that to Arnie's younger son Chris who is obese and a Libra.

Dejavu, your observation makes my point even more clear, that Cavill is a half an inch above 6 feet tall, he is not huge, he is tall but not very tall like other Superman actors, Tom Welling Brandon Routh Christopher Reeve, who were all over 6'3". I have no idea why Routh is listed as 6'2.5" because he just totally towered over Christian Bale at the MTV movie awards, Bale is at least 6 feet tall, and Routh had 3 to 4 inches in height advantage over Bale, which makes me think that Routh is over 6'3" and close to 6'4". Most other Superman actors seem to be natural Mesomorphic men, they all got big shoulders, massive chests, and narrow waistlines. Reeve, Routh, and Welling have these features. Cavill is more endomorphic, and it shows at the BAFTAs where his midsection appears big. When I met him he was unshaven, looked like he did when he was on the oil rig in Man of Steel, but still a nice guy. Honestly would think of him more as Batman material than Superman.

Chris Evans is 5'11.5 and Cavill is 6'0.5" I met him face to face, and I am his height. He was not a "dark" Superman, people think that because Christopher Nolan and his brother were involved in Man of Steel, but the tone of Man of Steel seems darker than that of the Reeve films, still despite that there are positive message in the films that even in darkness there is hope. Its definitely not pessimistic like the Dark Knight movies but its not light hearted and romantic like the Reeve movies.
As a kid I grew up with Reeve, I recall he was going to quit being Superman after the third film and someone was going to replace him, I could not imagine anyone else being Superman, even now I still cannot, I think Tom Welling has been the best actor to portray the character since Reeve, it puzzles me the producers never considered him to become a big screen Superman. Cavill is very good Superman but not spectacular like Reeve. Reeve will always own the role, and to a degree Welling was his only possible successor. The interesting thing about Cavill and Welling is that they are both Tauruses.

Cavill's superman was not a dark superman. I am sick of hearing that. Not a boyscout either but more of a quiet and humble guy searching for answers. Also superman is not American, he is not even human. Anyway Cavill could be anywhere between 6'0-6'1. Photos can be tricky and pinpointing is tough so I gave up on it.

I saw a video on Youtube by an artist known as Adeel of Steel he had some amazing videos of Henry Cavill and Christopher Reeve, they were very inspirational, it seemed like Cavill could be Reeve's son, some claimed during the scene where Superman destroys the World Engine there is super-imposition of Reeve's face on Cavill's, not quite, its his resemblance to Reeve that is uncanny, its almost as if Cavill is Reeve's son.

Honestly I saw a screen saver image and thinking of it showed an image of Tom Welling as Superman, Timothy Olyphant as Lex Luthor, and Erica Durance as Lois Lane, that would have worked out spectacularly well as Superman, but this version of Superman is still excellent although its bit on the dark side as Superman is more like an outsider than a Midwestern farm boy. The fact they chose a British actor who used to be a male model rather than a middle American actor is used to emphasize that this Superman is an outsider, but it works. Cavill is a very good Superman, I met him in person, he is a nice guy, but I liked Reeve more.

Cavill has had the opposite problem of Christopher Reeve, Reeve was skinny for his height, when Reeve screen tested for Superman he was 6'4" and 170 pounds, which was bone thin, the producers were going to make him a fake muscle suit, but Reeve was dedicated to the role and packed on 55 pounds of weight, mostly muscle mass, and was a solid 225 pounds.
Cavill was allegedly 6'0.5" tall and 202 pounds when he filmed Man of Steel but had a more defined physique than that of Reeve, but its unfair to make a comparison given that people had less knowledge of fitness and weight training in the time Reeve was an actor.
He looked bulky when I saw him, too much I think. Must have been at least 220 pounds, was my guess. I think they did it because Affleck is taller than him. Even when he was training for Man of Steel he wound up gaining some body fat that he had to go on a diet. I could imagine in his older years after he is finished with Superman he is going to have some weight problems, but that's life.

@Joe, you do know that he's shooting Man of Steel sequel? He was between 190 and 205 lbs while shooting the first one. Allegedly he wanted to gain even more mass for the next one since Ben Affleck,at 6'2 and over 200lbs, will look quite intimidating as Batman.
I hope he wasn't John Goodman fat when you saw him :D

@Joe, yeah, he's been really upfront about his weight issues, and that he has to work VERY hard to stay in shape. It's clear from the BAFTA photos that he didn't just put on some weight, but A LOT of weight, and it's certainly not the muscle weight we've sometimes seen him put on for a role. It's clear he's trying to hide it, but, yeah, it's obvious that he's really heavy, right now. You can tell in both his face and his waist.

Evans is leaning over a bit, and Cavill is standing straight, and there appears to be very little difference in height, Evans shoes appear to have somewhat thicker heels though, I think about a centimeter difference, but Evans is an inch shorter than Cavill. Cavill is exactly 6'0.5" tall, he looks like he put on some weight, maybe water weight in the that photo at the BAFTA. Cavill has stated that he has struggled with weight problems all his life, I will not be surprised if he has experiences a lot of weight gain later in life. I met him personally and he seems like he likes to eat.

Joe, I'm also of the thought that Evans is less than 6'0", but he is listed 6'0", here. When we give heights of people already listed here, it's courtesy to give the site the listing and then simply say in parentheses or something that you disagree with it.

Here is Cavil with Chris Evans who is 5'11.5", Cavill appears to be about an inch taller. As I said before Cavill is 6'0.5" not a full 6'1", but can easily just he is 6'1". Even on my government ID it says I am 6'1" even though I am actually 6'0.5".

I met him in the afternoon, and yes it was him, we were the same exact height, we both had to wait in line and had to take off our shoes and it was a unique chance to see a famous celebrity and see just how tall they are, this listing is totally correct, Cavill is 6'0.5" tall, I was talking to him face to face for 20 minutes, real nice guy. I was kind of thinking he would be a full 6'1" or possibly 6'1.5" but he was my size exact. I was kind of surprised he flies commercial airlines and not private jets. Also it was in the afternoon maybe he is 6'1" out of bed.

I can tell you that I think Cavill was exactly my height and we were barefoot, we were in an American airport, as we were waiting in a TSA checkpoint, he is a really nice guy, he was a really friendly guy, and I was surprised that were exactly the same height and similar build. I have a friend who is 6'1" exact, and honestly there is very little difference between me and him, ever look at ruler and see what half an inch looks like? Its a little larger than a centimeter, its not much so for him to put on his resume that he is 6'1" is not a stretch, he is definitely not 6'0" he is legit 6'0.5", maybe he could ne 6'0.75", we me around 3PM in the afternoon.

Henry Cavill is a legit 6'1 which is 185cm which is exactly my height. I was chatting with him in london recently and guess what my phone was dead so I could'ent take a picture or I would have posted it. The guy is bulky and massive in person and made me feel really skinny next to him!lol! He's also taller then Luke Evans and Chris Evans who I'think are 5"11.5 and are 1.5 or 2 inches shorter then Cavill too.

He seems to me like a guy who is between 6'1 and 6'2, not 6'0.5.

I actually finally got to meet Henry Cavill at the airport, guess what? I am 6'0.5" and had the luck of standing right behind him in security, he is exactly my height. My driver's license says that I am 6'1" because the DMV computer cannot say that I am 6'0.5", so its not a stretch of the imagination for him say he is 6'1" because people have poor listening comprehension if he says he is 6'0.5" tall they will think he is saying he is 6'5".
Also Evans is really a bit under 6 foot, more like 5'11.5".

Take a look at the full body photos of Cavill and Affleck, Affleck is wearing flats while Cavill is wearing dress shoes with thick heels that explains the difference in heights. Also I noticed some variation in height between Cavill and his MOS co-star Michael Shannon, who is a legit 6-3, Shannon was in Bad Boys 2 with Will Smith and was slightly bigger than Will Smith, but he seemed to tower over Cavill in some photos of the Man of Steel film shoot. In some premier photos he only appeared a couple of inches taller. At the Man of Steel event in Italy, Michael Shannon looked at least 3 inches taller than Cavill and was wearing flat boat shoes while Cavill was wearing dress shoes. I genuinely believe he is around 6'0.5" tall and not a bit more, and that is my height as well, I never thought I would be as tall as Superman!!!!

Cavill worked as male model before acting, and he was measured as 184cm which is about 6 feet 4/10th of an inch in standard measurements, this seems to be accurate. If you see him with his Man of Steel co-star Michael Shannon, Shannon who is 6-3 has about 2.5 inches on Cavill, maybe even 3. As far as the guy claiming he is 6'1.5", now that is a huge stretch. If he really was that height, he would claim to be 6'2". Ben Affleck is probably 6'2" and a bit over, maybe a half inch over that. Despite the fact he is not towering like Routh or Reeve, Cavill is a very plausible Superman, more so than Routh, but not as good as Reeve, no one will ever top Christopher Reeve.

I do not think he will every play James Bond after he took on the role of Superman, doing so would limit his acting options after his stint as Superman ends. I think he is supposed to make at least 3 or 4 Superman movies.
Officially his height is 185 cm and weight is 92 kg, this translates to 6'0.75" and 202 pounds in Standard measurements. I think he is really 6'0.5", regardless, even if he is not a towering 6'4" like Reeve he does the role very well. This is Nolan and Snyder's Superman, in terms of muscles he is in far better physical shape than Reeve was but then again body building and weight lifting were relatively new things in Reeve's days as Superman. Reeve was only 170 pounds during the test screening and bulked up to 225 pounds, with modern supplements and workouts Reeve would have looked like a monster today.

I think Cavill listed his 6'1" height with shoes, he is most likely 6 feet even, he stands shorter than his co-star Kevin Costner who is known as 6-1, Costner was a varsity athlete, and most athletes are measured with their shoes off. If Costner lost some height due to age, then Cavill is probably actually 5-11. Although short for Superman he makes up for it with an extremely muscular body.
Click Here
The above link shows a photo of the two standing next to each other, Costner appears to be leaning his body, while Cavill is standing straight but tilting his head, Costner's shoulders appear a bit higher and his eye level also appears a bit higher than Cavill. So I truly believe he is 6 foot even.

I really think the person to play batman or superman should be a comfartable tall like ben affleck. I could actually see him being the perfect batman ans superman. I think 190cm should be the minimum height to play these roles. They are supposed to be comfartably over average. Christian bale is listed as 6'0 which isnt even talk enough, and also he looks more of a 5'10 to me. And henry cavil looks a good 6'0 184cm spot on, but still i dont think its talk enough to play superman, looks average. Being 187cm i would say im not tall enough to play these roles. I would say 190cm minimum

I do not think he is full 6'1" which is his listed height, maybe that is his height in shoes. He looks shorter than Kevin Costner by an inch, Costner is listed as 6'1". I think he is probably 6' feet even maybe a 6' 0.5" but not more than that. Despite this he was a pretty good Superman, but still does not compare to the late Christopher Reeve.

I finally saw Man of Steel and felt he did alright physically, they did a good job shooting him to look like a taller man and his physique was impressive. Especially when he's compared to Michael Shannon, who has inches over him off screen but looks the same size height screen.
The movie wasn't very good, kind of dull and so was his acting there IMO. Even Shannon wasn't that interesting as Zod. The film's not horrible, like some have claimed, just not very memorable...to be honest, Superman was always kind of boring to me since I was a kid in comparison to darker superheroes like Batman or The Hulk, another character that was disappointingly depicted until Avengers.

Eyebrow and hair color don't always match up, like in the case of nearly every blond haired person.

Man you guys have some serious issues, I love my height at 6'2 but if I could give up 2-3 inches to look like Cavill I would in a heart beat. And WTF he's too short to play Superman? Stupidest thing I've ever heard, 6 ft is hardly 5'5 now is it.

LOL. It's bleeding obvious. His hair colour is naturally brown with a little auburn tint to it. Click Here If you can't see that he dyes his hair you need your eyes tested Click Here

Michael Shannon is 6'4" isn't he? That was what I based my assertion on.
Additionally, I meant to say 'dark haired' not 'dark', sorry about that. He defo doesn't dye his hair though. The test to see if someone's hair is dyed is to look at their eyebrows; the natural colour of your eyebrows and your natural hair colour are the same so if your hair colour and the colour of your eyebrows don't match, you've dyed your hair because people don't usually dye their eyebrows. He has long thick black eyebrows and his hair is that same shade of black so no way does he dye it.

Classic British Hollywood star is Henry C and he's a credit to the UK. Handsome strapping lad; tall, dark and blue eyed and with that he makes nicely informed decisions on choice of suits and ties. A top man and fab actor all in all.
I'd say he's definitely a weak 6'2" at 187cm. He looks it here with Michael Shannon…I think?!

Superman is always depicted as an inch taller than Batman, with 10-15 pounds more muscle. However, comic book standards do not translate into real life. I think they should try to adhere to this and it would have suited Bale better. Having said that all the best to Affleck. Cavill is 186 and a few mm over out of bed and 184.75 at night.

DC doesn't officially list the height of Superman or any other superheroes. Superman might be 6'2" or he could be 6'0". Reeves at 6'4" looked a bit too tall and lanky. A 6'0.5" Cavill looks a lot better, his muscular physique is much better as well. 6'5" Armie Hammer is way too tall to be Superman and a terrible actor. Also Afleck is closer to 6'2", he's maybe 1.5 inches taller then Cavill. 5'11.5" Christian Bale had a better height and look for Batman. Bale and Cavill would have been a better pairing, but Afleck should be okay.

Henry Cavill and Kevin Costner stood next to each other on the Katie Couric show, Costner clearly looked at least an inch taller than Cavill, he might even be taller, and both were wearing similar shoes. My guess is Cavill is between 5'11 and 6' even nothing more than that, definitely not the 6'1" that most websites claim.

Larry you need to calm down, stop insulting everybody and being patronizing because you the one who is wrong here. First off Affleck is actually 6'2.5", so he only has 2" on Cavill which isn't much at all. Certainly not enough to ruin any 'presence' Supes is supposed to have. If he was 5'7 against Affleck you would have a point, but he isn't.

Editor Rob no, I think he's still over 6ft flat, I think he improved his posture from Tudors and then Superman and other films and holds a good standing height that is very near what he'd measure.

There are a lot of UNINFORMED people on this blog: DC lists Supes at 6.3 and Batman at 6.2. Got it? Also, Chris Reeve was 6.4 and was spot on perfect. Looked the absolute best in the suit and was very commanding presence, which Supes should be. Cavill is a mere 6.0. That's just too short. Particularly with Batfleck measuring 6.3. They are gonna have to do some slight of hand to make it work. They should have gone with Armie Hammer though that is not nearly the worst of their problems...sigh...

Superman is not 6'4", as he's never had his height measured in the comics. It's been estimated and inferred that he might be around 6'2". Any actor playing Superman can't be too short as there's no exact height for the Man of Steel. So a 6'0" actor playing Superman is not an issue. Either way height doesn't really matter that much, the actors looks are more important and Cavil is better looking then the previous actors who played Superman. Tom Hardy was 5'9" and looked big in the Batman movie. With lifts and camera angles you can make an actor as tall as you want. They could easily take a 5'10" actor make him look tall enough to play Superman.

I wonder what they will do in the new Superman vs Batman film, since Ben Affleck is a bit taller than Cavill and in the comics, Superman is 6'3 and Batman is 6'2. I don't think it would be right for Superman to be shorter than Batman but that's just my opinion.

Well Superman is suppose be 6'4. Christopher Reeve did not look too tall or freakish. 5'11 for superman is really pushing it. Cavil is about 6'1 and pulled off looking 6'2-6'3.

6'1" is a joke. 6'0" is right on the money.
