"Supergirl" Has Found its Superman

June 16, 2016

"Supergirl" has cast Tyler Hoechlin as the Man of Steel. The "Teen Wolf" alum will play Superman in the show's second season, Variety reports.

"Greg Berlanti and I have wanted to work with Tyler for ages, so this worked out perfectly because Tyler is Superman," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement. "We are so thrilled and humbled to add another amazing actor to the legacy of this iconic character."

Hoechlin will reportedly make his debut as Kara's (Melissa Benoist) cousin Clark Kent in the opening scene of "Supergirl's" premiere, which will make the move from CBS to The CW this fall. Superman is currently only slated for the first two episodes of the season, but there's always the chance for Hoechlin to recur.

That would open up the possibility of Hoechlin running across former Superman Brandon Routh, who played the iconic hero in the 2006 film Superman Returns , in a crossover with sister show "Legends of Tomorrow".

After all, superhero tales have evolved into a kind of modern mythology, and the stories that define its central characters change with the times. This is especially true in the case of characters like Batman and Superman, both of whom have been interpreted countless ways in live action over the years. The latter is even set to receive a second ongoing incarnation - complementing Henry Cavill’s big-screen Superman in the DC Extended Universe - with Teen Wolf actor Tyler Hoechlin joining the cast of Supergirl as it moves over to The CW for season 2 this fall. Before the casting was made official, some speculation centered on whether the network might look to its last television Kal-El, Smallville star Tom Welling.

Oh good, the show has been getting dull lately maybe now with Superman they can focus on the action instead of the lovey dovey romance with Supergirl and Mon-El.
