Last night, Supergirl executive producer teased that the show's upcoming family reunion might not be as smooth as expected. Speaking at the show's SDCC presentation, Sarah Schechter said that Superman and Supergirl may clash on the upcoming season of the show. "Clark has a very different experience of what it means to have super powers on earth," Schechter told the audience. "There's some head-butting and philosophical approaches that are different. Well get into that."

Superman will be played by Tyler Hoechlin next season on the show and will be a recurring cast member. Superman wasn't a major part of last season, as the producers felt his presence would take away from acquainting viewers with Supergirl. The closest we came to seeing Superman last season was when he appeared unconscious on a medical table in the season finale, with only his boots in view.

When asked why both Superman was appearing on this season, Schechter said that Supergirl's core message was about family. "This show is about family, the family you make as an adult and the family you came from. It makes sense for Kara to reconnect with him now." She also added that Superman and Supergirl spending time together hinted at "big things" happening, which could also explain why Lynda Carter was cast as the president of the United States.
