We really enjoy Supergirl for its diverse and great cast of good guys, but unfortunately the villains do leave something to be desired.

Actor David Harewood feels the same way, describing his role as Cyborg Superman as "boring".

The actor made the claims during a Supanova interview with an adorable young Supergirl.

"I don't like playing Cyborg Superman," he admitted. "It's boring. They didn't really flesh it out, they didn't really write for the character. They just gave me this rather cheap-looking mask and no costume, and said 'Okay, you're Cyborg Superman.'

"It didn't really pan out. They didn't really go into why he was a cyborg, how he became a cyborg, what his powers were it was just kind of randomly calling him 'Cyborg Superman.'

"I was very excited about it at first, but then I very quickly realised that there wasn't really much to it, so it's kind of boring.

"Whenever I'm walking to my trailer and I see that costume, I just switch off. Because I know it's going to be a really boring day."

Luckily for Harewood, he also plays the shapeshifting Martian Manhunter in the show (who took on the form of Hank Henshaw, a man who everyone thought had died but was then revealed to have been turned into Cyborg Superman... look, comics are weird, okay?).

Supergirl will return for its third season in October, following the season two finale which contained an epic smackdown between the titular hero and Superman.

Speaking of Superman, it doesn't look like Tyler Hoechlin will reprise his role as the Man of Steel in the show again, which is a crying shame if you ask us.

Supergirl airs on The CW in the US, and on Sky 1 in the UK.
