10 Perfect DCU Roles For Tyler Hoechlin After Playing Superman In Superman & Lois (Including His DC Dream Role)

Tyler Hoechlin’s time as Superman comes to an end in December, and while Superman & Lois might be ending, the actor could still continue working with DC in another franchise. Hoechlin has solidified himself as one of the best live-action versions of Superman. The actor first played Clark Kent in Melissa Benoist’s Supergirl series. After that, Hoechlin appeared in multiple Arrowverse crossover events and episodes before getting to lead Superman & Lois.

The show confirmed that Hoechlin is perfect as both Clark Kent and Superman, delivering emotional performances full of the hero’s signature charm. However, Superman & Lois season 4 will be the show’s last, with David Corenswet’s Superman movie putting forward a new direction for the hero in live-action. While Hoechlin will not be able to play Superman again in the new DC Universe, the actor could join the franchise in a different role. Hoechlin teased his DC dream roles before, and there are some great heroes and villains for him in the DCU.

Catman is the least well-known character on the list, but Hoechlin would be able to make him a fan-favorite in no time. The villain is confident, ferocious in hand-to-hand combat, and resourceful like only a few DC characters. The role would allow Hoechlin to flex his acting muscles after playing a hero like Superman. Different from many Batman villains, Catman is not completely bad, as he has some redeeming qualities, which Hoechlin could make shine.

The character has great potential within a group setting, and it is possible that the DCU already has the perfect project for his debut in the works. A Bane and Deathstroke movie is reportedly in the works. According to different reports, it seems like the characters could be part of a larger ensemble, which could turn out to be the Secret Six due to Bane’s ties to the team. Catman is a major Secret Six member, so his debut could be near.

9 Kilowog

A Fun And Unexpected DC Character

Close

After having played Superman in the Arrowverse and four seasons of Superman & Lois, perhaps Hoechlin needs a DC role that he can do something completely different with. Well, the star giving life to a huge CGI character could be part of that direction. With the Green Lantern Guy Gardner debuting next year in Gunn’s Superman movie and HBO’s Lanterns series set to introduce Hal Jordan and John Stewart, more members of the Green Lantern Corps could show up.

The best possible role for Hoechlin among the Green Lanterns would be Kilowog. As Superman and as Derek Hale in Teen Wolf, Hoechlin has shown that he is perfect as a mentor. Kilowog is the character in charge of training new Green Lantern recruits, which the star would excel at portraying. Kilowog is also very funny, allowing Hoechlin to show that side of his from projects like Everybody Wants Some!!

8 Reverse-Flash

The Villain Makes Sense Based On One Of Tyler Hoechlin’s Past Roles

Close

Reverse-Flash could allow Tyler Hoechlin to really prove that he can play villains just as well as he does heroes. The character played a major role in the Arrowverse’s The Flash series, showing the immense potential that Reverse-Flash has. While the DCEU chose not to use Eobard Thawne in its adaptation of DC Comics’ Flashpoint event, the new DCU could have plans for the major character.

One of the Arrowverse’s Reverse-Flash actors, Tom Cavanagh, has a surprise role in Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman & Lois season 4.

After playing the earnest and compassionate Superman for years, Hoechlin would have to let that go for a manipulative and selfish persona to embody Reverse-Flash. Hoechlin does have a history with villains, playing Bizarro in Superman & Lois and voicing Sephiroth in multiple Final Fantasy games. Like Reverse-Flash, Sephiroth is cunning, ruthless, and arrogant. It would be interesting to see Hoechlin take those skills to a live-action performance in the DCU.

7 Shazam

The DCEU Hero Would Have To Be Recast

Close
✕ Remove Ads

Based on the poor box office of Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Zachary Levi’s string of issues since then, if Shazam is to be part of the DCU, the role will most likely be recast. The character could be a good one for Hoechlin to take on if he wants to keep playing a DC superhero. Shazam even has a past connection to Superman on the big screen.

More than stunt casting, Hoechlin has what it takes to make Shazam a fine DCU addition. The actor has experience playing a hero with two sides, as Hoechlin’s goofy and lovable Clark Kent is different from his confident and commanding Superman. While another actor would play Billy Batson, Hoechlin could make the Shazam side of the character as fun-loving or serious as needed, depending on the situation.

6 Hawkman

The DCU Has already Announced His Companion

Close

Hawkman was played perfectly by Aldis Hodge in the DCEU. However, since James Gunn let go of Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam and seems not to have plans for that version of the Justice Society of America, the role could be recast for the DCU. If that were to happen, then Hoechlin would be one of the best possible choices to play the hero.

Hawkman is a character that very much matches the performance Hoechlin delivers as the fierce fighter Derek Hale in Teen Wolf. While the DC hero’s personality tends to vary due to his reincarnations, Hoechlin could succeed as both the more violent and rigid versions of the character or the more gentleman-like ones. Hawkman should show up in the DCU in the future, as Isabela Merced is appearing next year as Hawkgirl in Superman.

5 Sinestro

The Green Lantern Corps’ Biggest Villain

Close

The only reason Tyler Hoechlin might not be able to play the DCU’s Sinestro is due to his age. The Superman & Lois star is 37, while DC recently cast 59-year-old Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan. Sinestro is normally Hal’s former mentor, who becomes his nemesis. Still, with some movie magic — or TV show magic, if the Lanterns series has more than one season — Hoechlin could make for a great Sinestro if given the chance.

The actor did say at San Diego Comic-Con this year that he would love to have fun with villains if he were to continue at DC after playing Superman. Sinestro could give him that in spades. The character is extremely intelligent, knows how to control others like few can, and is the figure of fear in the DC universe. Hoechlin’s Final Fantasy role as Sephiroth makes him perfect for Sinestro’s schemes.

4 Two-Face

Another major villain that Tyler Hoechlin could play in the DCU is Two-Face, and the actor could make his fall from grace perfect. While other villains might already be running loose in the DCU’s Gotham City, Harvey Dent could debut before Two-Face, helping Batman before becoming a villain. Hoechlin’s role as Superman makes him an ideal candidate for Dent, a character who tries to clean Gotham of crime and corruption.

The actor has the skills to make the audience mourn the loss of Harvey Dent when he transforms into Two-Face. Then, Hoechlin’s past roles as a villain would let him shine as the character. Based on his time as Superman and his villain roles, Hoechlin’s version of Two-Face would thrive if both sides of the character — Harvey Dent and Two-Face — were constantly bickering with one another and switching who was in control, as has been done in the past.

3 Deathstroke

The DC Villain Could Appear In Two Reported Movies

Tyler Hoechlin could also portray a more physical threat to Batman perfectly. Deathstroke could be set up for a major role in the DCU. While not yet confirmed for the franchise, a Deathstroke and Bane movie is in the works at DC. Additionally, a Teen Titans movie is reportedly in development for the DCU. As Deathstroke is the main villain of the DC Comics team, there is a good chance that Slade Wilson will appear in the Teen Titans movie.

Superman & Lois, Teen Wolf, and more projects have shown that Hoechlin has what it takes to deliver thrilling action scenes. That is very much needed for a character like Deathstroke. Tyler Hoechlin’s casting as the villain would give Slade Wilson the gravitas the character demands. Deathstroke is hard to beat due to his healing factor, and Hoechlin could make Slade a physical and intellectual threat to Batman and other heroes, doing the character justice.

2 Lobo

Tyler Hoechlin Would Have To Fight Jason Momoa For The Role

Close

Lobo is a role that might be too on the nose for Hoechlin, but the actor would excel as the character all the same. Before he became Superman, Tyler Hoechlin’s most famous role was his turn as Derek Hale in Teen Wolf. The character had a cool attitude, was confident, violent, and likely the show’s strongest player and best fighter for some time.

DCEU Aquaman star Jason Momoa would love to play Lobo in live-action.

Instead of playing another major hero, perhaps the best way to continue at DC for Hoechlin would be as Lobo. This way, the actor could take on a role that he would be perfect for based on his Teen Wolf past while also looking and acting quite differently from Superman. Playing Lobo could even allow Hoechlin to fight David Corenswet’s Superman, as the characters have crossed paths many times in the comics, which would make for an iconic moment.

1 Batman

Tyler Hoechlin’s DC Dream Role

Close

Tyler Hoechlin revealed at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con that Batman is his DC dream role after Superman & Lois ends. Going from one of DC’s biggest heroes to the other would be a shocking move, but one that Hoechlin could no doubt play well. At 37, Hoechlin is seven years older than DCU Superman actor David Corenswet. That is not a big enough difference to be a problem, but the perfect age for this Batman’s story.

The new Batman will debut in The Brave and the Bold. So far, DC has confirmed that the movie will center on Bruce Wayne discovering his son, Damian, and bonding with him. More Bat-Family members will appear in the film. If the DCU’s Batman is already on his fourth male Robin, then he has to be older, and Tyler Hoechlin’s role as a father in Superman & Lois shows he is perfect for this iteration of the Dark Knight.

Lois and Clark are no strangers to the Arrowverse, with Hoechlin’s Superman having been introduced all the way back in Supergirl season 2. Meanwhile, Tulloch’s Lois made her debut in the 2018 “Elseworlds” crossover. The duo is joined by a growing cast of characters that includes a new iteration of Lana Lang.
