Here’s Your First Look At SUPERGIRL’s Superman

In which Tyler Hoechlin becomes the Man of Steel.

By Jul. 28, 2016

I may not watch The CW's Supergirl, but obviously I'm familiar with the character and her place within the DC universe. I am also familiar with the character of Superman (most recently seen being an absolute dick in Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice), that Big Blue Boyscout who's more powerful than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, and --

-- who sends Supergirl smiley-face emojis via Skype? 

Hey, whatever floats your boat! The point is, I know enough about this character to know a good lookin' Superman when I see one, and Supergirl's Tyler Hoechlin is mostly certainly that. Sure, my man's boots look unreasonably big and he's still lacking the red super-briefs we tend to associate with the classic incarnation of the character, but all things considered: that's a damn fine Supes! 

What do you guys think? Digging Superman's duds, or not so much? Let's hear what you think in the comments below.
