Oh wow he looks spot on already

So looks like my favorite Flash, Bruce Wayne and Superman are all going to be on TV

Wonder if they can find some way to get Aquaman and Wonder Woman as well
Nevermind, there's nothing I can do

That guy can give Brandon Routh a run for Superman, even.
Really great casting there. He will be a great Superman, which makes me wish he will get a TV series of his own. Supergirl is pretty fun and it would be awesome to have a Superman who is joyful about saving people!

this is so much better than the movies it isn't even funny. It's better than the one he has in the comics right now, even!

I just wish they'd use the trunks and the spit-curl!

That is almost perfect.
Too bad that DC is dead set on not having Superman wear his trunks over his leggings. :(
And the spit-curl would add even more personality to a costume and actor that are already bleeding personality. It would be so great if they did it. T_T

Now I'm just wondering if they grabbed a headshot of Hoechlin (hence the stubble) and shopped it onto someone else's body in that promo pic. This looks waaaaay better.

Wow... It IS Superman! :O
Too bad he forgot to wear his trunks.

This is making we wish the CW ends up getting a Superman TV series. It would be so great to see Superman save people with the same enthusiasm his cousin does.

I fear it would be redundant with a lot of the plot points they gave Supergirl.

Kind of like if they decided to make a CW Batman series what with Arrow stealing most of the villains.

That's an ass even Nightwing that would be jealous of. :swoon:



Hmm, I think they might actually be going for a subdued version of the spit curl? It looks pretty good, and it's better to have a subdued than just abandoning it entirely, I guess... but c'mon, it's OK to go all out! Go for the full curl! Go for the underwear!

Calista Flockhart has officially signed on to season 2 of Supergirl, but, because of the production moving from Los Angeles to Vancouver, she'll be appearing (as rumored/expected) in a reduced role: she's now a recurring guest star, instead of a regular.

Presumably the Snapper Carr character they're introducing will take on a similar sort of role in the new season, but that's pretty frustrating, not only because Flockhart's Cat Grant was one of the best parts of the show, but also because this version of Snapper is indeed being played by some old dude, making it seem very obvious that he'll have absolutely nothing to do with the comics character he's based on, save for the name. :-\

I am really digging Tyler Hoechlin as Superman.
It will be a blast to see him in the small screen. :)

A metric shitton of news came out today:



Miss Martian will show up in Supergirl, played by Sharon Leal! :D

Mon-El is also headed to Supergirl, and will be played by Chris Wood!

The main villain of season 3 of The Flash will be the evil speedster Savitar, because they're still finding ways to steal stuff from Wally West to make Barry Allen interesting >:[

Lance Henricksen has been cast as Obsidian onLegends of Tomorrow which is, huh. Not sure how to feel about that, not because I don't like Henricksen (I do!) but because Obsidian is traditionally a pretty young character (late teens to 20s). Presumably he's gonna be a member of the Justice Society of America, but they've confirmed that the JSA is an WWII era group, like the comics. So I'm not really sure what the angle is here, if he's a member of the JSA in the 40s then wouldn't they get someone younger? Or is he playing an older version of Obsidian and they're gonna cast someone else to play him as an active superhero? Or is he gonna be the son of a JSA member (like he is in the comics) and they went with someone whose age makes sense for that type of role (the comics have had to come up with various explanations—like slowed aging and other weird time shit—to explain why the JSA members, who are in their 80s/90s, appear to be only middle-aged and whose children are in their 20s and 30s)?
 
In addition to the already announced 4-part fall crossover between all four DC shows on The CW, Supergirl and The Flash will have their own 2-part MUSICAL CROSSOVER in the spring!!! :D :D :D

and finally, a new animated series was announced:

certainly a pretty left-field pick. But very cool that they're putting out the first superhero TV show with a gay lead!

This is being described as based on Grant Morrison's take on the character in The Multiversity: Mastermen, but this show is almost certainly not going to take place in a universe where the Nazis won because baby Kal-El landed in Germany in 1938? The only thing they seem to be taking from that is that this version of the Ray is gay. And much like the Vixen series, they're aiming to cast someone in the title role who will be able to show up in the live action shows as that character. Hopefully it will be for more than one episode!

I can't really tell for sure what other members of the Freedom Fighters are in that picture besides Phantom Lady, but I think I see Condor. And they've gotta include the literal spirit of America, Uncle Sam, right?

@ flash
I was a bit upset that S2 had a speedster but I was okay with it because he was pretty cool. But I was saying I'll be pretty ticked if s3 has another speedster as the bigbad. So, does flash only fight speedsters or what???

No, the Flash has one of the most outlandish and diverse gallery of rogues in comic book history. But their ringleader is dead™ and will probably be a hero when he comes back (much to my everlasting chagrin) and having multiple guest stars in one episode costs way more on TV than it does in the comics, so...

they STILL have yet to introduced Mirror master, The Top or Abra Cadabra.

Dr. Alchemy is clearly going to show up though, based on the trailers.

I was hoping the big bad of the season would be the rogues lead by a rebooted, still evil Captain cold, but oh well, a man can dream =/.
