When Tyler Hoechlin joined the cast in Supergirl's season two premiere as Superman, he brought with him a version of Kal-El that's been largely missing from pop culture for the last few attempts at portraying the iconic character. Hoechlin's portrayal of Superman was fun, he was endlessly charming, and, he was not as emotional as other portrayals of the superhero that missed the mark. The show's creators had a fine line to walk, bringing in arguably one of the most famous comic book characters in existence and making sure he didn't overshadow the star of the show, his cousin Kara (Melissa Benoist). Supergirl airs Monday nights on the CW.
