I will always love Henry and his portrayal of Superman. He will always be remembered. Sometimes legends have to be torn apart and rebuilt from the ground up so that people can understand why are they legends in the first place and that a symbol is only as good as the man wearing it. The DCEU proves that Superman is more than his powers, his symbol or the ideals that he embodies; he is first and foremost, a man trying to do the right thing.
Yeah, I personally get to appreciate hero more after watching him go through some harsh issues and self discovering questions of his or hers place in this world, especially with Superman because he is an alien. You appreciate light more after bring in the darkness.

““Many, many people have asked, many, many, many times. I had an awesome conversation with Henry Cavill about an awesome version of Superman while we were on set. You’re sitting around of hours, waiting for stuff to be built so I can put Henry in it, and throw him off a cliff, or freeze him to death. And we talked about a really awesome version of Superman.
[That’s] the movie Henry wants. There’s a really, really beautiful version of that, and I honestly can’t speak for the people who are responsible for making those decisions, except to say it’s part of a giant corporate mechanism. I’m one guy. I can stand up and turn around, turn my back to you instantly, a giant corporation that’s in the middle of a merger with another giant corporation is an aircraft carrier in a broom closet being asked to turn around. Part of my job, and what’s made my being a director so much more easy in this business, was ultimately coming to terms with the fact that the people that I’m sitting across from have much bigger problems than I do. They just do. And I sympathize with those problems, ’cause before I used to just view them as incredibly obtuse, and they don’t know what movies are about. Of course they do. They all love movies.
So I just sit quietly off to the side, and people say, ‘Hey, would you make Superman?’ And I just keep responding, ‘Well, they know where to find me. They know where to call me,’ but I don’t expect the phone to ring. I don’t expect that to happen.”
I love that BvS had the guts to show that being Superman is not easy at all. He constantly has to wonder "what if?" and "could I've done more?". Having so much power and yet not being able to save every single one is a huge burden and yet he keeps going. That's his true power. It couldn't be more inspirational for my daily life than what BvS gave me with Superman, who keeps on doing the right thing even when it feels like the entire world is against you.
You could say that BvS gave a more serious depiction of Superman Returns' "Everyday I hear people crying for one [savior]".

Wow, thanks! Unfortunately some users misunderstood why I picked this scene to talk about Superman's heroics. I clarified in this thread if interested.
