Take a look at Supergirl's HOT new Superman

The first season of Supergirl featured Superman, although it was by name only and he never actually made an appearance. However, Superman will finally be making an on-screen appearance in the second season of the DC show. And guess who's playing him? None other than hunky Teen Wolf star, Tyler Hoechlin. According to Digital Spy, executive producer of the CW series Andrew Kreisberg said, "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 took to Twitter, writing that he couldn't be more "honoured and humbled" to be given the role and he "can't wait to get to work!"

Could not be more honored & humbled to be given the opportunity to play this incredible & beloved character. Can't wait to get to work!
