All we’ve seen of Superman so far in “Supergirl” has been IMs and texts from Clark to Kara. I think there was a hand lifting her up in some scene. So when we heard that Superman would be in multiple episodes of Season 2, nerds started speculating. Casting “Teen Wolf” star Tyler Hoechlin took care of some of that, but the question remained — what would the suit look like?
…like that, it turns out.
At first glance, I like it. As close to a “classic” Superman as we’ll get in 2016 — closer than the “Man of Steel” and “Batman V Superman” costume. It’s got the same darker colors as Supergirl’s costume, but has a vivid gold background to the “S” symbol, where Supergirl’s is blue. No red briefs-on-the-outside, which we’ve come to expect.
Tyler Hoechlin…will have to grow on me. Or see him in action. Or something. With these producer’s track record on casting superheroes though–we’ll be seeing some great things.
