First Look: CW's SUPERGIRL & SUPERMAN Together

It's a family reunion as the CW has released the first photos of Melissa Benoist's Supergirl with Tyler Hoechlin's Superman, who will debut in the role in Supergirl's upcoming second season. The costume design is by Kiersten Ronning.

Somewhat curious, however, is CW waiting until five days after Comic-Con International: San Diego to make such a big reveal.

 

[Sephzilla]

....I don't think he looks good as Superman

 

[Jake2by4]

Not feeling Sups suit.

 

[maxcriden]

Can't unsee Photoshopped Patrick Fischler.

 

[SlimySnake]

lol that looks weird. huge head and boots.

 

[BronsonLee]

He's so dead

 

[Enduin]

That's a nope.

 

[HvySky]

Superman looks like a wax model

 

[WedgeX]

He's so dead

Yep

 

[adj_noun]

I miss the underoos.

 

[Strangelove77]

His head looks photoshopped.

And what IS that expression on his face?

 

[MartyStu]

Looks like Bizzaro Superman.

 

[Inferno313]

That's clearly Bizzaro, not Supes.

Why does everyone make Superman look so damn grumpy all the time?

 

[Killer Queen]

Cavil is kind of a creep and can't carry a movie, but people would really prefer that guy as the DC(C?)U's Superman?
Looks like fanfilm budget Superman.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

The belt, the boots, that face expression though.

 

[Volimar]

He looked so much better before being in the suit...is it the photoshop?

 

[vinnygambini]

Not feeling it

 

[Sulik2]

Supes suit is great, his head looks really weird though.

 

[Kurdel]

Looks like Superman's younger brother.

 

[wamberz1]

He'd make a good bizzaro

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

Poor choice.

 

[Ahasverus]

This is why I thank Snyder.

 

[broncobuster]

His boots remind me of Captain America's costume from Avengers.

Actor seems good for the role but the costume is strangely a cheaper version of the current movie suit. Would've been wiser to emulate a more classic look; be it Donner's or DEAN CAIN.

 

[Obliterator]

I actually like the actor and think he can fit the role

But not sure what's going on here, does not look good. Maybe bad photoshop? Also they should have done bearded Supes as this dude rocks a good beard

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Ugh, too skinny. Though maybe its just the lens flare distracting me.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

His torso looks kind of weird and his neck too skinny.

At least in the movies the actors portraying him have loads of time to train for the role. This guy looks... not good.

 

[Geist-]

That's a hard pass on that Superman.

Also, why a skirt?

Spoiler

I don't watch Supergirl or know anything about her, it just doesn't seem like it would cover anything during flight.

 

[HMD]

They look like the photos you find on Superman halloween costumes.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

WHY DO THEY HATE THE S CURL

WHERE THE S CURL AT????!?!!

 

[Future PhaZe]

struggleman

 

[bryanee]

Terrible costume and a awful pose. He looks weird.

 

[Lagamorph]

Dean Cain continues as by far the best on-screen Superman.

 

[Kuros]

Eh they should have kept him just texting Lana or best of all get rid of him off world for the show.

 

[Sanjuro]

Is that one of the mini Supermen you can get playing the crane game at the cinema?

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Why does Superman have some Stallone-type-shit going on with his face?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Doesn't look like Superman really, more like Superboy.
Suit is good though.


Have fun vanishing after a few episodes Supes!

 

[Ahasverus]

struggleman

lol

 

[Blade30]

Looks like they wanted Superman but couldn't get him and then just took the next guy around and put him in a self made suit.

His boots remind me of Captain America's costume from Avengers.

To me the boots look like the ones Batman wears in Arkham Asylum/City.

 

[16BitNova]

So will this be separate canon from the new movies? I don't like this.

I like how Marvel keeps a consistent universe throughout shows and movies.

 

[jackdoe]

They went for the Superman New 52 boots and belt. Poor, poor choice.

So will this be separate canon from the new movies? I don't like this.

I like how Marvel keeps a consistent universe throughout shows and movies.

The movies largely ignore the shows, so it's not like it's much different from how DC/WB does things anyway.

 

[geomon]

I'm sorry but he looks like a cosplayer next to Cavill.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Dean Cain continues as by far the best on-screen Superman.

I'd agree with this actually, started that series for the first time right before BvS and he is by far my favorite.

 

[Pandora012]

I think he will look better if he smiles.

Edit: And maybe have a better pose

 

[Kuros]

So will this be separate canon from the new movies? I don't like this.

The shows are one canon (tho different Earth Dimensions) the movies are another. There's no cross over.

And obviously Gotham is its own (great) thing.

 

[Dabanton]

Wtf at that Superman looks when Cavill got hit by a nuke in BvS but this version didn't fully regenerate.

Looks oddly malnourished.

 

[LosDaddie]

Suit is fine

Face is derpy

 

[NimbusD]

So will this be separate canon from the new movies? I don't like this.

It's already separate... has been since the beginning.

If anything they'll just reveal they're different 'earths' much like arrowverse and cw supergirl are (or were, most likely)

Also that dude looks like how superman return's superman should have looked considering he was such a creep. (speaking of which, they should totally have brandon routh meet this superman)

 

[Ahasverus]

Consistent meaning "the movies don't care about the shows at all and for that they must be safe or use obscure characters".

I prefer the DCTV side doing wild things, they are ding Flashpoint, they are killing off Superman (presumably) and are probably bringing in Batman too.

They should not have gone with a cheaper version of the MoS suit. I'd rather have a more classic design to differentiate.

 

[Lord Virgin]

So looks malnourished

Goddamn......you people ain't holding back huh.

 

[strafer]

Should have gone with the MoS suit.
