Boards Best Superhero TV Actor!

Overcast skies...rain looming...ah fret not because it's time to launch the best superhero TV actor thread!
If you're new to these, the idea is simple and based on games seen on the pro wrestling board and elsewhere. I have compiled a list of 64 TV superhero actors and we will whittle the number down to 32, then 16, and so on until we get our two finalists.
Most recently we completed the best film actor thread which saw Ryan Reynolds triumph over Kevin Conroy in the final. (Conroy returns for this game so it will be interesting to see if he can get to the final again).
This time we turn our attention towards the smaller screen. For decades, superhero actors from George Reeves to today's Grant Gustin have delighted families worldwide with their adventures, but which one stands above them all? Our superhero forum shall attempt to find the answer.
The familiar refrain: if I wind up overlooking anyone I do apologize. I have tried to ensure I include the most prominent names.
To start off, the first TV actor to get to 3 votes qualifies for the next round and the loser gets eliminated. Please try to give a reason why you are voting the way you are.
Let's begin shall we...Dominic Cooper (Preacher)
VS
Caity Lotz (Legends of Tomorrow)
It's Dominic Cooper, who stars as Jesse Custer in Preacher, taking on Caity Lotz, who stars as White Canary in Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow.
Which actor's performance do you prefer? Vote now.'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'
