Blaze Naruto Shippuden Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) http://media.dcentertainment.com/sites/default/files/imce/2014/09-SEP/DCE_Supergirl_lr_541c4e84123d55.23417656.jpg Looks like the Man of Steel isn’t the only Kryptonian you’ll soon be seeing on screen. Yes, the news of its development broke a few weeks ago, but today it was made official. As reported this morning, Berlanti Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television, will be producing a Supergirl television series for CBS, which has given the show a series commitment. If the Berlanti name sounds familiar to you, it should. It’s the production company of Greg Berlanti, the Executive Producer of both Arrow and the upcoming The Flash. He’ll serve as Executive Producer of Supergirl as well, along with Ali Adler and Sarah Schechter. As for what fans can expect from the show, it sounds like Berlanti and team will be keeping pretty faithful to the comics: Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-el escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Supergirl first appeared in ACTION COMICS #252 back in May, 1959, and eventually went on to become one of the core members of the Superman family. This won’t be her first onscreen appearance, having previously been the star of a 1984 feature film starring Helen Slater, as well as a supporting character on The CW’s Smallville. She’s also appeared in animation, including Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited, as well in several DC Universe Original Animated Movies, including the recent Superman: Unbound. Look for more news on her most recent live action iteration here on DCComics.com as it breaks.

Viper Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 At least it's on CBS and not CW. I can't take another cheesy super hero show like Arrow and Flash. I'll be giving it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with Arrow/Flash? Anyhow its cool Supergirl is getting her own show. Wish Laura Vandervoot was gonna be her again. However, I know it'd take away from the new show too much. Not sure how I feel about Claire Holt up for the role yet. Don't know her to well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippeus Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Not sure how I feel about the lack of skirt. Oh man did I just type that?! I know they want to tone down the sex appeal but its how Supergirl has been since her first appearance. They also claim only having a skirt was a wardrobe malfunction. Why they added pants with the skirt piece. Edited March 7, 2015 by Hippeus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace1652 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Idk how I feel about this show, dont know much about supergirl just the general stuff, I love how DC is dominating the tv market compared to Marvel, it lets me find out more about characters I barely knew about.

OceanH Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 First Look : Supergirl CBS It looks cheesy as fuck. Basically what everyone says: the Black Widow SNL parody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Naruto Shippuden Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 First Look : Supergirl CBS Needs a higher budget to compared to The Flash or even Arrow. Going to give it a shot anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippeus Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Checked out the first look. Looks nice. Problem is Kara in street clothes looks too much like fecility smoaks from arrow is my problem. As I said though will watch it as I did like collecting Supergirl comics when I was younger with my Superman comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForceGrip86 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm with most on this in that I'll give it a shot, but the trailer really does make it look cheesy as hell. Also, not too sure on the casting choice. Laura Vandervoort will always be my TV Supergirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Well I'll just go ahead and eat my words from my first post, as I love Flash and Arrow now. But this still looks cheesy. I'll give it a go because it's something involving Superheroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceGrip86 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) I'm kind of glad though that CBS has decided against allowing crossovers with The Flash and Arrow. Its just from the look of the trailer, it doesn't seem as though it meshes well with either show in tone. I mean, you could probably just get away with crossovers with The Flash, at a push, but never Arrow. Then again, with Arrow set to have a more lighter tone in S4, who knows. And seeing as though CBS co-owns The CW and Greg Berlanti produces all three shows I doubt their decision will last long. Especially if Supergirl doesn't get the desired ratings right off the bat, they might consider crossovers to gain more viewers. It worked for The Flash with its Arrow crossovers after all.

I predicted a few weeks ago during the episode of Flash where Barry mentions a test pilot disappearing (the possible nod to Hal Jordan getting abducted by Abin Sur to join the Green Lantern Corps), that there's a very good chance we could be getting a Justice League show in the future (likely around the time of the Justice League Part 1 movie). Now considering the first look trailer for Supergirl mentions that Superman is already an existing character in the Universe has me really hopeful for that. But I won't fully be convinced until Bruce Wayne is easter egged in some how (quick mention of Gotham City or Wayne Enterprises or something). All in all I feel like Supergirl, Flash and Arrow would all benefit from doing a complete shared universe of TV shows. It would at least make up for their horrible decision to keep the shows and movie universes separate. Edited May 21, 2015 by TheViper4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceGrip86 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 So I just watched the Pilot episode and it wasn't that bad to be honest. [spoiler=ghghg] First and foremost I was curious to see what type of villains we can expect from this show, what with Smallville having used the whole kryptonite infused humans to death. I'm happy to see that they went with prisoners that escaped from the Phantom Zone, the first of them being Vartox, although a whole lot less powerful version than the comics version. I do have one concern that apparently all of these prisoners will want to kill Kara because her mother put them in the Phantom Zone to begin with. That seems a little one dimensional and I hope they flesh out some of the villains a little more so they don't seem so one note. The special effects were good. Not movie level good, obviously, but for a tv show they were surprisingly decent. And the two fight scenes between Kara and Vartox were solid to. Good hard hitting brawling which is what you would expect from two people with so much strength and power. I always felt on Smallville that the fight scenes never lasted long enough. What you essentially got from the pilot was the basic storytelling that has been done a million times before with superheroes. Person decides to use their powers to save people. Fails spectacularly to begin with. Thinks about giving up before getting that inspirational pep talk that sets them back on the path. I wasn't expecting anything different so that was no shock to me. One thing I don't particularly like though is that Kara is essentially portrayed as an awkward bumbling mess who works in a media job. I mean, I know she is the female Superman, but come on. I was hoping they would put a little bit of a new twist on things. And having her sister working as part of a task force that protects against aliens was a little much if you ask me, but whatever, we'll see if that dynamic adds something going forward. And finally, stop with all the gratuitous Superman references. All in all it was solid for a pilot episode. I do love the fact that Kara's adoptive parents are played by TV's Superman and the movie's Supergirl. Also, one more note about whether or not they think of doing crossovers in the future with Arrow and The Flash. I really don't get how they would do it now having witnessed the sheer strength and destruction that the villain from Supergirl's pilot episode was capable of. Seriously, in a straight up fight against Arrow or Flash or both, he would have dominated them in seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
