After an extensive, well-publicized search for the Man of Steel, Supergirl producers have landed on a hairy, hipster Supes – Tyler Hoechlin.

The former Teen Wolf star will appear in the first two episodes of Supergirl Season 2, which now airs on The CW (Mondays at 8/7c, same as its CBS slot). So far, Kara’s iconic cousin has only been spotted in occasional, obstructed Season 1 glimpses. This will be the first time he is seen in all his hunky glory.

Via TVLine:

“[Executive producer] Greg [Berlanti] and I have wanted to work with Tyler for ages, so this worked out perfectly because Tyler is Superman,” Supergirl showrunner Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement. “We are so thrilled and humbled to add another amazing actor to the legacy of this iconic character.”

Here he is as the frequently shirtless doctor/priest Griffin Munro on GH. We can only look at these and sigh at what could have been…
