Not as Batman But as Superman

Remember how, a few years ago, before Ben Affleck nabbed his Batman role, Tyler Hoechlin was said to be in the mix to be cast as the Caped Crusader?

Well I do, and that’s why I think this is kinda awesome, in a self-fulling kinda way.

Hoechlin – who was recently at the movies with Everybody Wants Some!! – is going to suit up as a superhero, after all, to play Clark Kent/Superman on Supergirl, which is flying from CBS to The CW for its second season this fall.

The character will make his debut on the show when he turns up in National City to visit his cousin Kara (Melissa Benoist).
