The biggest news about Supergirl (at least since the announcement that the show would be moving to The CW) has been much more about Clark Kent than Kara Danvers. Superman himself is on the way for Season 2 (https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/fb926523-9afe-354d-9d72-809ab922da88/supergirl-season-2-synopsis.html), and we'll be getting a double dose of all things Super when the cousins team up to fight for truth, justice, and the Earth-3 American way. According to executive producer (https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/eb57175b-4533-3e9c-a91c-4b17309d14cc/supergirl-ep%3A-why-season-2-is.html) Andrew Kreisberg, the timing is perfect for a Kryptonian family reunion, and here's how he defended the upcoming introduction of Superman on Supergirl. I think we've spent a year establishing her, and the year ended triumphantly with her saving the world, so there wasn't any sort of doubt that Supergirl couldn't do it on

Tyler Hoechlin

Supergirl (2016)

Who would have thought that a werewolf would make such a good Superman? While as of this writing we've only seen former Teen Wolf star Tyler Hoechlin in three episodes of Supergirl, it was apparent right out of the gate that he understands what makes Superman and Clark Kent special.

In fact, considering how little we've seen of Henry Cavill as Clark, let's focus on Mr. Hoechlin's Kent for a moment. He falls more on the George Reeves/Dean Cain end of the spectrum, in that his Clark is mild-mannered, but also quietly confident, and apparently a quite competent reporter (he also sports a tan Harrington jacket similar to the one Christopher Reeve wore in Superman II).

While he doesn't have the perfectly symmetrical features many associate with the Man of Steel, neither did George Reeves or Dean Cain, both of whom turned in convincing performances. His Superman is friendly and completely at ease with his role as the world's greatest superhero, and has real familial chemistry with Melissa Benoist's Kara. And from a purely nerdy standpoint, after an easter egg from a season one episode, we also know that this is the first live action Superman in history who was also a member of the 31st Century superteam, the Legion of Super-Heroes! We look forward to seeing more of him in the role.
