Supergirl has found its Superman

We will finally get a proper look at Superman in the second season of Supergirl as Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf, Everybody Wants Some) is set to play the Man of Steel. Hoechlin’s Clark Kent will debut at the beginning of the show’s second season. This also sees the show move from CBS to The CW. I think events from the seconds season of The Flash may well be used to explain any changes.

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

It is not clear how big a role Superman will have in the second season. I have a feeling he may pop in every now and again, before heading off into space or sorting out some big problem somewhere else.

Of course it does raise the possibility of finally seeing Superman, Green Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl on screen at some point.
