    I have no opinions on this as I don't know the guy.

    But... Welling...

    Personally I have an easier time seeing Hoechlin as someone like Batman, but who knows.

    How big is he, frame wise?

    I see that he's only 28. And he seems to have had a little role in Castle a few years back. He looked considerably smaller than Nathan Fillion though:

    That was a few years ago though. I don't know what he's like now. I hope he's put on some muscle.

    I've never seen him in anything. But seeing an interview with him, I can see how he might give off the same kind of vibes as Kara if that's what they're going for.

    This is surprising. He's got the dark / brooding thing going on (with the constant five o'clock shadow and thick eyebrows). He's also not very tall (5'11-6'0). Not sure he'll work too well.

    He was good in Teen Wolf and I never saw it but he was recently in the 80s Dazed and Confused "sequel".

    Well that's not very good. He did look quite a bit smaller than Nathan Fillion in that Castle clip, whereas you'd expect Superman to be about Fillion's general size.

    He also seems like he's younger than James (and he is in real life). He looks more typical CW love interest than Superman.

    Hm. I don't see it. He's like three inches shorter than Jimmy and barely a couple of years older than Kara.

    Superman doesn't have to be that huge.

    He has the Michael Turner Superman look, just... a little tiny/Matt Bomer-y.

    They're probably going the Superman: Earth One route with him being smaller than most depictions of the character, thus able to hide a little better in plain sight.

    That pic of him in the very first post makes him look fairly small shouldered and not all that built. He doesn't look the way Cavill looked in a suit for the Man from UNCLE where he really filled it out and you could tell he was big underneath:

    Strongest Superman with the biggest frame. The best...

    This satisfies my criteria of "not Tom Welling" but I've never actually seen the guy in anything. Hopefully he does a decent job.

    I still think they're gonna kill him off anyway.

    Uhm... I thought Clark was already known as Superman for a number of years, before Kara crashed on earth as a teen. So, well, shouldn't they have cast someone who's a bit more seasoned? Why cast someone only a year older than Melissa?

    I think I would've preferred someone who looked a bit older so that he would seem like he actually imparted some wisdom and life experience to Jimmy on his way to becoming James.
