Supergirl Tyler Hoechlin IS Superman

[The Shield]

Why do the reveal photos always look like Crap compared to bts pics? He looks much better here and I'm happy for him. He has a great frame but the suit doesn't help him show it hardly at all. But I'm going to do what I always do and give it a shot to see him in action first. Could the suit look better? Yes but it's not the actor's fault.

Yeah, in that top pic you can see that he's much bigger than the suit generally makes him look.

He's definitely bigger then that Crappy photoshopped reveal mess.

 

[X Knight]

these bts pics are much better!!

I do agree that the cape attachment is a bit distracting.

but I really love the size of the S shield. it's nice and big and bold.

I also really like the colors of the suit.

Also, I don't mind that this Superman doesn't have that "big" muscle look.

 

[Boy Scout]

You can actually see the suit compressing his muscle definition in the top pic.

Man. I'm a little bummed out. It's still a good suit, but I feel like they could've done so much better. Hopefully they'll nail the characterization and adjust the issues with the suit in future episodes.

These are much better than that promo pic. The placement of the cape sure diminishes his shoulders. Can't wait for the season to start. Never really paid attention to the CW DC shows but Supergirl now will have me watching all of them.

 

[Quasimod0]

His hair looks awesome. Wish they would give Cavill that same style. It looks totally natural.

 

[Dark Raven]

Thanks. Well he looks classic but in black and white that suit looks too modern to look like something from the 50s. Maybe if he had a suit like Reeves or Reeve.

 

[Shadow Moses]

This is so bad. It looks like some random bloke off comic con show floor. I hope to god I never see Batman & WW on CW. Terrible teen drama with even worse cosplay outfits.

 

[Dark Raven]

Yeah his hair looks great. Don't know if Cavill has enough hair to pull that off, and his hair is curlier so might not work.

 

[storyteller]

Well he did have the hair but it's obviously been cut for JL. It was pretty long in MOS.

Seriously Tyler looks like the new52 Superman brought to life.

I'm happy with the size and look. I mean I loved Lois and Clark. Honestly though the naysayers will watch it and be content.

At least we aren't waiting 10 years to see a CGI cape.........

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Costume definitely looks better in the set pics, it's certainly growing on me

 

[The Arrowverse]

New 52 Superman come to life? Outside of the costume design being clearly more of a fabric than an armor...the fact that he's small...etc. Lol

Also, I don't think people would have an issue with his size...if Jimmy wasn't a linebacker and if Kara herself was smaller (not that she's big) but comparatively they're not vastly different sizes.

 

[king666]

First picture didn't do him any favours. This is much better. Cape attachment still looks bad, and the belt is terrible.

But it's serviceable.

 

[Jason Kane]

Wish they not done the cape attachment. Its too bulky

 

[Dark Raven]

I would've preferred something like Christopher Reeve's cape or even Dean Cain's. Heck, even Routh's cape was attached better.

 

[X Knight]

I don't remember, but in Season 1, did they ever make mention of Smallville or Kansas?

 

[The Shield]

 

[Kelly]

I don't remember, but in Season 1, did they ever make mention of Smallville or Kansas?

Kansas yes...

Kara says to Clark in one of their IM conversations that "You didn't learn that in Kansas"....

 

[jasontodd]

I was extremely underwhelmed and even a little disappointed with the suit reveal in the promo pic, but these set photos actually look pretty good. I'm getting excited again. Pretty cool to think we are getting CW verse Superman.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Okay yeah.
That looks awesome.

 

[jaymes_e06]

I actually love it.

 

[vantheman77]

Basically Tyler's Superman is a cross between New 52 and Injustice. CW wanted Superman through Smallville and now they got one. I hope he will be in the crossover after the first two episodes of Supergirl's 2nd season.

 

[gonza_sf]

The cape and the belt are the only thing really bothering. I actually quite like the rest.

Was fooling around with ps to see how it would look like with a different belt and cape attachments :

 

[Alien Anal]

It is one of my most favourite things seeing an expensive tv/film Superman suit. I love the S on the costume, looks great. I do wish they went with the trunks but oh well. The cape attachment is a little odd but I can live with it.

What I think I am most excited for is seeing a fun and happy Superman on screen again. Knowing the way the show is I am really looking forward to seeing his appearance.
