Henry Cavill's Mustache Was Digitally Removed In "Justice League" And It's Pretty Bad

Is that Superman or human Shrek?

This is Henry Cavill. Not only is he a certified hottie biscotti with a naughty little body, he also plays Superman in the new Justice League film.

If you're like me and have been stalking Henry Cavill's Instagram account every evening after drinking a bottle of wine, then you know he's sporting a pretty badass mustache that he grew for Mission: Impossible 6, which comes out in 2018.

Well unfortunately for Cavill, the shooting schedules for Justice League and Mission: Impossible 6 overlapped, and Paramount told Cavill he couldn't shave his mustache. Meaning, Warner Brothers had to spend "approximately $25 million" digitally removing Cavill's mustache from the film.

If you're up to date on your movie releases, you'll know that Justice League came out last weekend, which means everyone has finally gotten a glimpse of Henry Cavill's CGI'd face, and...well, just look for yourself.

Needless to say, people definitely noticed, and they had some thoughts about Superman's new look.

The mustache may be gone, but its essence definitely lingers.

Henry Cavill's mustache could not be contained by mere human CGI

Some thought the mustache should have stayed.

Others realized CGI'd Henry Cavill looks a lot like another mystical human.

The mustache removal may be pretty damn noticeable...

Find someone who looks at you the way Henry Cavill looks with his mustache CGI'd out

...but at least it gives us a new drinking game.

Drink every time you can spot Henry Cavill’s CGI mustache mouth.

I don't know about you guys, but for the next DC movie I'm praying for a Superman soul patch.
