“We always need optimism.

We always need to be hopeful.

says Hoechlin, who made his debut as Superman inSupergirl’s second season.

In fact, Hoechlin tries his hardest to adopt Superman’s cheery worldview in his every day life.

This sucks, I don’t like looking at the world this way,'” he says.

That’s just, to me, not a way to wake up every day.

Superman & Loisalso stars Emmanuelle Chriqui, Erik Valdez, Inde Navarrette, Dylan Walsh, and Wole Parks.

It premieres Tuesday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
