Hm.
My favorite Supergirl was the one from Peter David's run, so they could do worse than borrowing from that one. That was one of the most criminally underrated books of the last 20 years. Supergirl really hasn't been done very well ever since they fell back on the tried and true "Kara Zor-El" model and decided to "modernize" it by making her completely whiny, bitchy, and unlikable, which for some reason, going on about ten years later, has stuck.
I'm a big fan of the character but haven't seen much I like with the character since David's version was cancelled. If this new show borrows from and condenses parts from some of the different versions, I might be able to get into that.
We shall see.
