Yep and it won't be on CW Network as they turned it down!

As long as she wears a short skirt and is a 18 year old blonde with at least B cup breasts I'm down.

Well. This got weird reeeeeeeal quick.

That's... oddly specific.

You are a very strange man, you know that right?

I mean really, who the heck cares about stuff like that.

I think he's being sarcastic - lamenting the fact that certain characters in fiction are stereotyped in the same way i.e. in this case, a 'super girl' has to be blonde, scantily clad, big-breasted and in her teenage years.

You have not read enough of his posts. He never uses sarcasm and has been perverted before.

The key thing to note is that it's just being pitched. Lots if things get pitched.

But no, not interested.

Could be good. They just need to stay away from the New 52 costume, and basically anything having to do with "Modern" Kara from the last ten years. She's just been portrayed as SO goddamn bitchy and unlikable ever since they brought her back in Superman/Batman. I like the "teen 'outsider' chick trying to find herself on a world she knows nothing about" angle the comics try to play with, but they take it so far all the time that it's like she hates everyone and would be better off as a super-villain. They need to tone that way the hell down. Especially for a TV show, they can't expect it to last if they have a completely unlikable protagonist. A little teenage alienation is one thing, but she can't just be a whiny bitch.

I'unno, we'll see. Supergirl's an even harder sell than Wonder Woman.

I want her to have a skirt with leggings...be a 15 year old...with redish blonde hair...with no more than a A cup :D

Not hyped, but I guess I'd check it out

Yeah, screw character development and motivation. T&A is the way.

Please ban him. Please.

Anyways... I think Kara is a decent character, but why do they keep making these shows that are gonna constantly keep the main hero at arms length?

I demand Streaky and the horse.

Sure. I'm all for it. It's always good to see more female protagonists become more focused.

Hope it won't end up like Birds of Prey, which I have not seen yet, but thought of giving that a try to see how it could be worse like most people say.

I bought the series and only made it three episodes in...

I hope she is hot

First I hear of this, I'm all in for a Supergirl show but would it be in continuity with the new movies? Or be in continuity with the other live action DC shows? We live in a post-Avengers world and having a bunch of DC heroes around on TV and movies with references to a larger DC universe but not in continuity with each other is just stupid. And while I liked Smallville, we don't need another smallville, I don't know this doesn't sound like it'll be something that gets off the ground.

I agree. While I don't feel like a connected universe is better by default, or that DC necessarily needs to do what Marvel did, it sure is freaking weird that they've got Gotham on a separate network from Arrow and Flash, and that none of these shows seem to connect to the movies. On top of the fact that Batman v Superman looks thrown together, DC/WB just doesn't look like they know what they're doing, right now...

I'm no expert, and I'm sure the people in charge did their homework, but I can't imagine Gotham being successful. I just can't.

Or pathetic.

I wanted to find out more information on the series and instead this thread turns into an Anime forums with guy's wanting to see more fan service :lol:

I'm not a big Super Girl fan, was really surprised that she's getting her own show. How popular is she in the DC Fandom?

It's just with such great live action versions of Green Arrow and The Flash, I just can't see myself liking new versions of those characters and being happy, since they have pretty big shoes to fill. The "Bat embargo" the animated shows had in the early 2000's makes plenty of sense for live action in a post-avengers world. Gotham being a prequel and Batman being old in the new continuity means there won't be many problems but this would have to take place after Man of Steel. A Supergirl show would be awesome but if it's a Smallville esque show then I wouldn't be a fan since that's already been done.

She's pretty much one of the most iconic female superheroes in the DC universe, up there with Wonder Woman and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon).

Looks like this'll be on CBS. Comic books have gotten all the major networks now.

Yep, So far we got ABC with Agents of Shield, Fox with Gotham, NBC with Constantine, CW with Arrow and the Flash, and now CBS with Supergirl.

Character descriptions are now out for 2 characters:

Kara's surname is Danvers (Linda as a first name??):
Also to be cast is an adopted older sister named Alexandra Danvers, age 26.

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.

Kara Danvers? Seriously?

Danvers so there going to try keep Superman out for awhile by mixing in some of the Linda Danvers stuff with Kara ok I can see that. Also way to give marvel the big middle finger in using the name Danvers first before Captain Marvel comes out. I mean lets face it that's the reason they named her Danvers they easily could have used the name Starr and had the older sister be Karen. Actually I kinda wished they did that would have been awesome to get a live action Power Girl.

More casting call info! Looks like they don't care what Jimmy Olsen looks like as he and Cat Grant are "Open ethnicity". And OF COURSE Toy Man lives next door! :trolleye:

Supergirl MAY possible take place in the same universe as Arrow & Flash: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=111617

And with the LA Teen Titans airing on a sister station of CW Network... crossovers ahoy! :D

Claire Holt is reportedly in the running for the role of Supergirl: http://comicbook.com/2014/12/02/supe...for-lead-role/

Melissa Benoist has been casted to play Supergirl: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=114043

Huh. They're actually going forward with this.

This could be an interesting show.

This sounds cool, and a cute casting choice!

Well if anything Melissa could sing the show's theme song. She's a good actress and from her experience in Glee she certainly knows how to play an outcast.

Mehcad Brooks has been cast to play Jimmy Olsen: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=114493

Lmaooo.

Dude is fugging ripped... And he's Jimmy Olson? Ok guys!
