There will never be another Christopher Reeve - as both a person and a fictional Superman - and I miss him as well.

Henry Cavill played a very different Superman. He was ostracized by the world and was always somewhat angry and raw in return. The idea was that all of the trials and setbacks he underwent would end in him becoming a more mature and hopeful version of the character, which we'll now never see.
