Hoechlin has done a good job of maintaining that character (when he isn’t changed by any book), so it will be interesting to see if Superman & Lois presents that same optimistic tone with Clark and his family.
And while Tyler Hoechlin may have already had a hankering to play Superman ahead of taking the meeting with Supergirl, the actor said it was the “shamelessly optimistic and hopeful” tone of the show that drew him in.
Raising teenage boys can be rough, so I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if his two sons make the Man of Steel, at the very least, a bit frustrated in this first season.
