Yesterday the Supergirl crew were filming a fight scene between Superman and what some fans believe to be Metallo. Superman is sporting a modified suit (pics via Just Jared Jr), which various internet peeps have suggested is a lead-lined version to protect against Kryptonite.

Tyler Hoechlin Cast in Supergirl

The CW has cast Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf) as Clark Kent/Superman in season two of Supergirl. Tyler will appear in the first two episodes of the new season. Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg commented,

Greg [Berlanti] and I have wanted to work with Tyler for ages, so this worked out perfectly because Tyler is Superman. We are so thrilled and humbled to add another amazing actor to the legacy of this iconic character.
