Hi MozartMaid,
I'll admit that in the picture you linked to (Thanks!) he does look more like my idea of Clark. But he still isn't quite there.
I, too, would have a problem with a British-sounding Clark. Much as I love accents from all parts of the island, I can't imagine Clark/Superman having an accent that didn't sound American -- the accent would not match the character and the character's background. But I would guess that Cavill would be able to put on an American-sounding accent. At least, I would hope that Cavill would not have passed his audition if he couldn't fake a decent American accent. Admittedly, a lot of actors do an abysmal job of it, but some really shine through -- Hugh Laurie is a prime example.
Joy,
Lynn
