CBS/CW's Supergirl Series

[CyberCubed]

Superman is actually showing up as in an actual character and not a background cameo? Color me surprised, I never thought they would do that for two reasons:

1. Superman is in the movies, and they probably didn't want him conflicting with the show. I know they're casting a new actor, but I never expected it.

2. Superman appearing automatically makes Supergirl into the sidekick role, when its her show. I remember when Teen Titans 2003 was airing (the original show), they said the reason Batman never showed up is it would automatically make Robin into a sidekick instead of the leader, and they didn't want that. Superman won't be in every episode obviously, but the few he's in he'll likely overshadow Kara.


Sounds very interesting. Also was that rumor of Superboy appearing ever confirmed?

It continues to amaze me how DC does their adaptations so much better on television than on the silver screen.

Let's just hope this doesn't happen:

Quit being a dunce. You know full well that won't happen.

Also if you actually did your research, you'd know that isn't even the Kara Zor-El version of Supergirl.

That's the Matrix merged with human Linda Lee Danvers Supergirl in an alternate reality where she didn't die in the Crisis......

Peter David's Supergirl is the best Supergirl.

I agree. I just wish he had had more time to get where he was going with her before issue 80 ended the series.

I think I may watch this series during the summer if I find it online.

Awesome news

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

But can we get an actual goshdarn Batman show?

(Please NOT on the CW)

[CyberCubed]

I still don't even know how Gotham is on the air much less how its going to have a Season 3. I fully expected it to bomb after one season.

I checked out after 12 episodes... I tried to stick with it, but it was too much Burton, not enough Nolan.

[CyberCubed]

Its not just that, but the idea of a Batman show with no Batman makes my mind boggle. Whose idea was it to have a 10-12 year old Bruce Wayne but still have all his villains in the show?

That's the issue.

I would totally watch a Gotham prequel focusing more on the mobs and normal crooks while Bruce grows up and Gordon and Bullock make their bones in the GCPD. I'll even go along with Cobblepot rising to power and some whispers of the Court of Owls.

But throwing in the entire rogues gallery plus psycho Barbara? I really don't understand why so many people like it. That and the goofy bizarre tone of so many episodes... stabby kaleidoscope sticks, death by balloon, all that crap.

More Season 2 casting updates:

National City is experiencing a major population spike in the wake of Supergirl‘s move from CBS to The CW. In addition to the Man of Steel’s imminent arrival, TVLine has learned that Greg Berlanti & Co. are adding five major new characters in Season 2 — including the series-regular role of Lex Luthor’s kid sister.

Lena Luthor, who will be in the 25-35 year old range, arrives in town to get out from under the shadow of her infamous brother. She’s described as sexy and smart and determined to get what she wants. But what does she want? That remains unclear.

The other new series regular goes by the name Nick Farrow. He’s a “brash leading man” who butts heads with Kara at CatCo. The son of a famous reporter, Nick is “looking to make a name for himself in the news world but the question of whether he can leave behind his former selfish and hedonistic ways will constantly arise. In hanging out with Kara, the hero in Nick might finally come out.” Hmm….

The remaining three roles are of the recurring variety, and include The Doctor, the diabolical female leader of Project Cadmus who uses her surgical skills to implant prisoners with alien technology (and who sounds a lot like Sterling Roquette); Snapper Carr, a veteran journalist appointed by Cat to remake the news division by going old school (not to be confused with the Justice League sidekick); and the comics-inspired Maggie, an out and proud detective for the newly formed Science Police, which deals specifically with metahuman and alien threats.

Snapper Carr and Maggie Sawyer are appearing?! Awesome!

Unless I'm mistaken, I remember reading somewhere that the female doctor connected to Cadmus is somehow related to Dr. Hamilton from the Superman comics.

I wonder if Maggie will be out of the closet as a lesbian in this adaptation. They kind of lampshaded it in Superman TAS.

Survey says probably. They did do a nod at it in Superman TAS:

Spoiler:

CyberCubed's gonna have a field day with this bit of news.

[CyberCubed]

Of course she's a lesbian. Harley/Ivy are lesbians, Batwoman is a lesbian, Renae Montoya is a lesbian, Maggie is a lesbian, we are all lesbians.

On another note, when did Lex Luthor have a kid sister? Is this from the comics?

Don't worry, Cubed, she's lesbian.
