It seems that Dean Cain, star of the 90s television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, isn’t much of a fan of the Man of Steel’s last live-action outing, with the actor criticising Zack Snyder’s reboot over a lack of humour and romance during a chat with ABC News Radio…
“The last incarnation of Superman was completely different than anything I did on Lois & Clark. It was kind of devoid of the two things that made our show special, which were humour and romance. It didn’t have either of those. There was no humour and there was no real romance. I saw the movie they pushed. There’s no romance in there. I’m sorry.”
Despite his criticism, Cain did offer some praise for Henry Cavill and Amy Adams, stating that, “I think Henry did a great job. I love Amy Adams as an actress, but that wasn’t romantic to me. Those elements were missing but they weren’t going for those. They were going for that angst-y, alien, real feel. It was pretty cool.”
Do you agree with Cain’s assessment of Man of Steel?
