In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, actor Tyler Hoechlin, who will portray Superman on the show 'Supergirl' says his version of the red-caped superhero is an important symbol of hope. Hoechlin goes on to explain, "It?s pure fun and it?s Superman as I think he was intended to be, which is just an incredible symbol of hope to kids that they can do anything, and that they can be good people, and that good people can triumph over evil. That?s just, at the core of it, what it is.? The Man of Steel is scheduled to appear in the Season 2 opener of 'Supergirl' which premieres next week on October 10.
