And now if they need him for a Season 3 episode, they could get Tyler Hoechlin. Nope, remember Superman is alive in Justice League. So they can't bring him back now on Supergirl. What's your source? I mean, I know Superman is alive because I saw the movie today. But they were already planning on bringing him back in the DCEU, so letting Tyler Hoechlin guest star in Supergirl while he's dead in the DCEU doesn't make much sense. Warner Bros owns the DC movies and the CW so I find the rights issue weird. The original reason they do embargoes is to avoid confusion. Wouldn't Superman appearing on Supergirl while being expected to be resurrected in Justice League cause a lot of confusion? Well the evidence i have is when they were talking about it when Superman was in Season 2's first episode. Talking with DC if they were allowed as they were talking about how hard it was to get him. Saying basically this. "DC allowed us to use him as there was no confusion about Superman's appearance in media at the time."
