A new report suggests that The CW is considering launching a new Superman TV series. It's claimed that this year's Arrowverse crossover event, Elseworlds, will essentially serve as a backdoor pilot to the show. Its ultimate fate will depend on how viewers respond to the characters in the event.

Tyler Hoechlin was introduced as The CW's Superman back in 2016, when he first appeared as a guest star in Supergirl season 2. The actor was universally praised for his portrayal of the Man of Steel, which seemed to channel the classic Christopher Reeve like no other version seen before. He's set to return in this year's Elseworlds crossover, and will be accompanied by Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane.

He has had a better portrayal than the DCEU Superman from the little I've seen so not a terrible idea.

Would make sense if the rumors of the DC film universe taking a break from Superman are also true

The shoulder straps makes him look like a babby.

Whatever you think of Man of Steel and Henry Cavill he really does look like Superman to me.

Best Supes in live action in a long time so I am totally in

The biggest problem is that Supergirl is kinda superman lite considering lots of the classic superman villains already appeared in some way

Not sure it can bring much to the table. Supes is great as part of a team, or against very expensive foes.

Not sure there really needs to be both a Supergirl and Superman show - aren't they basically the same thing?

I actually dig their take on Superman. I could see myself having fun with this.

Maybe they'll give us Superdad.

This version of Superman exists in the same universe as Supergirl, so if the show does happen I can see it tackling similar themes.

I have no problem with Supergirl being political, it's just poorly written and the writers seem to have little knowledge of the character. I hope Superman is done better. Black Lightning has been better at this (so far).
