It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman! And what a super man, he is. Emphasis on the super. 

The latest addition to the Superman franchise came out this past Friday. Of course, we only care about one thing: the hottie playing the coveted role. 

Here's what I know: his name is Henry Cavill. He is crazy hot and chiseled and I am pretty sure he is not real and that he is a robot because no person should look that good. 

Because the latest Superman is oh-so-sexy, this got us thinking. What about the other past Superhotties? Supermen have a long history of hotness and they deserve some attention! So, here's our round up of the 5 hottest Supermen: 
 
#1 Henry Cavill

Like I said before, I suspect that he is not real. I would like him to prove me otherwise. Preferably with a makeout sesh. 

#2 Christopher Reeves

One of the original Superman, Christopher Reeves was quite the dashing gentleman in his day. 

#3 Tom Welling

I'm slightly biased here because I had the HUGEST crush on Mr. Welling as a young teen.  

#4 Dean Cain

Dean played Superman in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, opposite Teri Hatcher. I don't know if he is my numero uno hottie, but I will admit that he is quite the handsome gentleman. 
 
#5 Brandon Routh

Square jaw and strong brows work for Brandon. I kind of feel like he should be some sort of sexy Jane Austen novel-esque love interest, or is it just me?

So chicks, obviously we need to get this sorted out: Who do you think is the hottest one?
