13-Year-Old Superman Will Join SUPERGIRL

TV SupermanSupergirl by Joey Paur

It looks like Superman will finally be given a face in the Supergirl series. Up until this point, we've pretty much only seen Superman in a few shadowy shots. Now we're actually going to get a little hstory behind the relationship Kara has with her cousin Kal-El. 

TV Line reports that CBS and producers are looking to cast a 13-year-old boy in the role. They want the actor to have “future leading man looks.” I wonder if that's hard to find in a 13-year-old kid. Can you really tell if a kid that young is going to have leading man looks? 

According to the report, this young version of Superman will appear in the 13th episode, and he will be involved in a "string of flashbacks that will establish the cherished bond between him and Kara."

Supergirl has been a great series so far. It turned out a lot better than I expected. It will be fun to see how Superman plays into Kara's past.
