Baggage? So its money? LOL!!!
I hated Man of Steel but it still brought in tons of $$$ and was a huge success. Just because you do not like him still cant change the facts.
Money. That is funny. Look at what Disney and Marvel did with paying their actors. They stuck around for 10 or more years, did a great job and people kept coming back to the theaters.
Now I am not saying WB/DC is the same as Disney/Marvel but WB has tons of $$$$. They can throw more money around better than anyone. So I doubt it is a $ issue.
Creative control? He would probably have a better say than what they did with that character. WB and DC has no idea how to use him at all. Look what they did back in 2006 with that awful Superman Returns.
What other baggage does Cavill have?
