Seems like the the whole suit-fitting must have happened really quickly after Comic-Con -- like, the day after or something -- because here is Hoechlin in-costume, on set, doing the thing.



They probably released that promo picture so soon because they knew there was gonna be candid shots of the filming today.

I kind hope that they start talking about their adventures using some kind of euphemism. Kara get's a call at work and "Oh, hey Clark! Last night was fun, it's been years since we went... bowling..."

His officially listed height is 6 foot. It's just Mehcad Brooks is well over that. They kind of accidentally shot themselves in the foot with him because they didn't originally expect to cast a Superman so they didn't have to worry about getting someone taller than him.

I should clarify; it's disconcerting to see a Clark and Jimmy that's so different from how they're usually depicted, but I'm loving this different dynamic. I mean, it's kinda mean to say, but right off the bat it's easier to see two guys becoming best friends without the massive size and age difference, and Clark is gonna come across a lot less paternalistic while Jimmy James comes across less like a groupie. This show generally does character interactions really well so I'm really looking forward to what they cook up for this.

I think it's mostly the idea that Superman is the end-all be-all of Superheroism and should appear as some kind of massive, towering platonic manhunk.

Though with the inherent racism of some...

Superman created velcro to save on shirts, but he's such a good guy he gave the idea to some Swiss guy to develop.

In the second image the height difference doesn't look so great, so you can probably assume that the first one Tyler Hoechlin was stepping off a curb or something like that.

Maybe Clark uses his special shrinking powers to make him appear to be a midget when he's not in the suit.

I hope that Clark turns out less All American Hero and more Total Doof like Kara is. Just two super-cousins bumbling about trying to do good.

So Stephen Amell posted a picture of himself and Tyler Hoechlin on the set of Supergirl. Hoechlin is visibly shorter than Amell and having met and shook Amell's hand and going off that memory, our new Superman is loving short as hell.

I'm 5'8" Amell did not tower over me, he's probably a hair under 6' tall. So yeah, Hoechlin's boots probably put him just over my height. I've also met Colton Haynes and that dude's the same height as me.

Not to nitpick the picture but Amell is standing a smidge closer to the camera. Do we have to complain about Tyler's height? I mean, you can if you want, but I hear he isn't even going to do his own flying, they're going to make it appear like he's flying through tv magic. :shrug:
