June 17th 2016 - The premiere of Supergirl season 2 is set for Monday October 10th at 8pm (ET) on the CW

June 16th 2016 - Supergirl finds its Superman!


Teen Wolf star Tyler Hoechlin has been cast in the iconic role of Superman/Clark Kent on The CW's Supergirl.

Tyler Hoechlin To Play Superman On Supergirl



As previously announced, the character of Superman will first be seen visiting his cousin Kara in National City at the beginning of the series’ second season.
"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. "We are so thrilled and humbled to add another amazing actor to the legacy of this iconic character."

This isn't Hoechlin's first go-'round as a comic book character; he gained notoriety as Tom Hanks's son in the film adaptation of Max Allan Collins's Road to Perdition. He was also briefly rumored to be in the running to play Batman in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice...although it's likely those were just rumors, since he's obviously not close to the age range they ended up using for Batman.

I'm not sure how I feel about this! He wasn't bad on Teen Wolf, but I just can't see him as Superman.

I can see it, especially in the picture on the OP next to the comic. The face, the eyebrows, the mouth, and the hair!

Thanks for the new thread, Rose.

Yes, Brian.

We can use this thread for all countdown festivities: http://www.fanforum.com/f93/countdow...-2-a-63154998/

I changed the title to reflect S2 instead of premiere.

Thanks Elektra for the timer!

I think they would have him read for the part with Melissa before casting such a important role but I agree they have not let us down yet. I read an article on TV.com they said they want Tyler to keep the beard that would be interesting Superman/Clark Kent with a beard

They want him to keep the beard? I was thinking that I could probably see him play Superman as long as he shaved.

I suppose I will have faith in what the crew saw in Tyler. Although, I hope they just didn't cast him because viewers will know him from Teen Wolf, thus bringing in more viewers to the show. I think getting more viewers is important, but I also think it's important to cast someone who can pull off playing such an iconic character.
