4. Superman's Digital Upper Lip - Justice League

Warner Bros.

The Moment: Due to Henry Cavill having to perform Justice League's re-shoots in the middle of filming for Mission: Impossible 6, Cavill had to shoot his new Superman scenes with a big, bushy moustache, which was then digitally (and badly) airbrushed out in post-production.

Why It's Controversial: Because it's so damn distracting, and is prevalent in a shockingly high number of Superman's scenes in the film, demonstrating just how heavily re-shoots comprised the final result.

Granted, Warner Bros. was backed into a corner by Paramount refusing to allow Cavill to just shave his 'tache, but the studio clearly should've delayed Justice League and just had Cavill do the re-shoots when he was done with M:I6.

Instead, Superman's uncanny valley face is deeply offputting and weird at best, and a laughable embarrassment at worst.
