Tyler Hoechlin Cast As Superman In Supergirl

There was recently a shake-up at Warner Bros./DC, one of the results of which has apparently been the discarding of the corporate rule that none of DC's big three (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman) could appear on the small screen. No doubt executive producer Greg Berlanti was able to leverage his television success with a number of comics characters to work out an exception: Superman is coming to Supergirl this fall, and actor Tyler Hoechlin has been cast in the role.

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

Hoechlin's credits include Everybody Wants Some!, Road To Perdition, Hall Pass, Solstice, Teen Wolf and the forthcoming Stratton.

Previous actors who have played Superman include Kirk Alyn, George Reeves, Bob Holiday, Christopher Reeve, John Haymes Newton, Gerard Christopher, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill.
