"Although he is not susceptible to the frailties of mankind, he is definitely susceptible to the emotional frailties," says Cavill, before Snyder went on to reveal that Superman's one major weakness won't be present in the forthcoming reboot: "I’ll be honest with you, there’s no Kryptonite in the movie."
"I think she’s very transient," said Adams, referring to her characterisation of roving reporter Lois Lane. "She’s ready to pick up and go at a moment’s notice. I think that definitely could be part of what she sees in Superman — not really laying down roots, not developing trust."
"You want to give the audience great spectacle," adds producer Charles Roven. "But it’s just not good enough to give them the ‘Wow.’ You want them to be emotionally engaged. Because if you just have the ‘wow,’ ultimately you get bludgeoned by that and you stop caring."
