With Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl all set to return this Fall, you have to wonder if there's now room for another DC Comics TV show on The CW. After all, the network has found great success with those, and one series which would be a guaranteed hit would be Superman. Tyler Hoechlin's performance in Supergirl was widely praised, so it's something fans want, and it's a real shame to leave the iconic character on the shelf, especially with no Man of Steel sequel.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly today, The CW President Mark Pedowitz confirmed that there are sadly no plans for a solo series or for him to return in Supergirl, but it sounds like the door is open!
"Tyler did a great job," he told the site. "There’s no plan to do a series. There are no plans at the moment for him to return [to Supergirl]. If they wish to have him return, we’d love to have him." Asked whether that all boils down to what's happening in the DC Films Universe, he added: "I can’t even answer the question yet, because at this time there are no plans to do it and there have been no discussions about it." So, is he playing coy, or have we seen the last of the small screen Superman?
