In a heartwarming and hilarious video for Omaze, Henry Cavill, known worldwide for playing Superman, takes on the ultimate challenge: solving the age-old question—Who’s better: Batman or Superman? But rather than asking critics or comic book fans, Henry turned to the most brutally honest judges of all: kids.

Set at the Durrell Wildlife Park in the British Isles—a charity dear to Henry’s heart—the actor kicks off this Omaze campaign by talking to young children, asking for their unfiltered opinions on superheroes, powers, and who would actually win in a fight.

Superpowers, Lasers, and Honest Opinions
The interview starts with classic Henry charm:

Henry: “What do you like about superheroes again?”
Kid: “That they can fly, they’re super strong, they can move really fast, they can bend metal… and shoot lasers from their eyes.”

Henry: “So you like Superman?”
Kid: “No. Batman.”

Henry (laughs): “Ugh.”
Despite the impressive list of Superman’s powers, including flight, heat vision, and super strength, many of the kids still chose Batman—a billionaire with no actual superpowers.

Batman Can Fly… Kind Of?
The confusion only grows when Henry tries to explain the differences:

Kid: “Batman can fly.”
Henry: “He can only fly if he falls off something!”

Kid: “But he has wings.”
Henry: “He can only go down, not up. Superman can do both.”
Henry does his best to keep a straight face while kids defend Batman’s flight with fierce conviction. The fact that Batman “just sits in a cave” doesn’t seem to affect his popularity either.

Team Batman vs. Team Superman
Henry continues polling the children:

Some cheer for Superman (often because of laser eyes or flight).
Others remain diehard Batman fans.
One kid simply prefers “the villains.”
Another offers a “both” answer to keep things fair.
But perhaps the most unexpected moment comes when one kid suggests how Superman could win in a fight:

Kid: “I can teach you a tornado kick.”
Henry: “Oh wow, you can teach me a tornado kick?”

Kid: “You go for the face… and then you do that right in the peanuts.”

Henry (laughs): “That’s a very effective way of winning.”

Helicopters or Batmobiles?
As a final fun question, Henry asks the kids:

“If you could either fly in a helicopter with Superman or ride in the Batmobile with Batman, which would you choose?”
Surprisingly, many still chose Batman’s car, proving that style and cool gadgets still win over raw superpowers for some. Fortunately, a few kids did choose to fly, earning proud high fives from Henry, who clearly needed the moral support.

Behind the Laughs: A Real Cause
While the video is lighthearted and full of laughs, its purpose is deeply meaningful. The campaign was part of an Omaze fundraiser tied to the film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Fans who entered had a chance to:

Attend the world premiere with Henry, Ben Affleck, and Jesse Eisenberg
Ride in the Batmobile
Photobomb people on the red carpet with Jesse
Fly in a helicopter with Henry himself
All proceeds went to three charitable causes, including the Durrell Wildlife Park, where Henry spent much of his own childhood. The park focuses on wildlife conservation and protecting endangered species.

Henry: “I’ve been coming here since I was just a kid myself. The work they do is absolutely incredible.”
And when the kids met the flying foxes (fruit bats), one of them dubbed the animal “Cuteman.”

Henry: “He should be called Cuteman now.”
Kid: “Yeah!”

Henry (smiling): “I agree.”

Conclusion: Kids Know Best
Henry Cavill may play the Man of Steel, but even he couldn’t change the minds of these tough young critics. Whether it’s Batman’s car, cave, or mysterious aura, the Caped Crusader continues to win hearts—even against a flying alien with laser eyes.

But through all the playful jabs and unexpected answers, the video beautifully highlights what makes both heroes great—and why it’s okay to just love them both.

Henry: “Guess you’ll have to wait and see who really wins.”

Would you pick flying with Superman or riding with Batman? Either way, it’s clear that when it comes to superheroes, kids have the final word.
