SUPERMAN Spinoff TV Series Nixed by Warner Brothers!

Fans of the Supergirl TV series have been blown away with Tyler Hoechlin’s role as ‘Superman‘ on the season premiere of Supergirl. So much so that the internet has been buzzing with fans wanting to see Hoechlin’s Superman get his own spin-off series. But, as per usual, the execs at DC have another idea. They want us to love their ‘movie’ version of Superman and with that they have nixed any ideas that the Man of Steel might get his own series on TV. Check out the latest details on this below, and share your thoughts AFTER THE JUMP!

Andrew Kreisberg

“We’re so happy with what we get to do. I don’t mean for that to sounds as bad as it does, but we asked if we could have Superman in the first episode, and DC and Warner Bros. said ‘you could have him for the first two episodes’ and we were like ‘great!’ I’m not going to sit here and say that there’s never going to be a world in which there’s a Superman TV show and that Tyler’s going to star in it — I don’t know what the future holds, but right now that’s not our focus. Right now, we’re working on Supergirl, which is the flagship, and we’re working on a way for Tyler to reprise the role. That’s really what our focus is: on Supergirl.”

Unfortunately, it’s looking like his two appearances in The CW series will be it for a while as that’s all the show’s producers could get out of Warner Bros. (likely because they realised it would help with ratings after Supergirl’s move from CBS, and it most definitely did). Here’s what executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told Kryptonsite during a recent Q&A when they asked about Superman’s future.
