20 Most Paused TV Moments Of 2016
5. Superman's First Scene - Supergirl
Part of the criticism of DC’s take on Superman is they’ve made the character too dour and brooding, when he’s supposed to be a symbol of hope in even the darkest of times. Plus Henry Cavill doesn't tend to smile much.
Supergirl, on the other hand, embraces that sense of hopefulness with open arms, making it feel like a breath of fresh air. Their depiction of the Man Of Steel on the show has been acclaimed, with Tyler Hoechlin bringing a ton of charisma and likeability to the role.
This was clear from his first scene, where’s he nervously chatting on the phone to Perry White as Clark Kent, before he has to leap into action to save a falling space shuttle. The moment he does the patented shirt rip to reveal the S logo, comic fans knew they were in very safe hands.
