CBS/CW's Supergirl Series

[CyberCubed]

Its hard to imagine what Superman will do on this show so he doesn't overshadow the titular character Supergirl. I know he'll likely only be in a small handful of episodes, but having him constantly be weakened or lose a fight just so Supergirl can save him will be pretty lame as well.

We have the titular character Supergirl and she can't be the damsel in distress because she's the star of the show, but Superman can't also overshadow her. So what will they do for the titular character's role? Does anyone know how Supergirl can remain the titular character?

You've got me; I have no idea how they'll handle this.

You're the titular character here.

I wonder if they could have Starfire appear on this show. I wouldn't mind it to be honest.

Of course you wouldn't.

Ever read any Supergirl comics? They do a good job of balancing it. Superman is more or less just there as a rock for her emotionally. He also doubles as a mentor.

I have a feeling the general story will be Clark comes to town while investigating a story he's looking into, and while he's in town, Superman saves the day with Supergirl. But all the press portrays it to be about Superman saving the day "with the help of Supergirl." And this season will deal with Kara overcoming that.This would be in line with the feminist backbone that the series has. Just my guess, anyways.

To each their own. There's nothing wrong with either suit if you ask me; it's just preference. I like Cain's closer-to-royal blue than Reeve's baby blue.

God, just watching either of these guys makes me cringe at how embarrassed DC seems to be of the red underwear. It's the single most iconic superhero costume there is. Just... own it, dammit. And proudly.

The lawsuit killed the belt and undies. I'm almost positive it was the Lawsuit.

Looks like Vancouver is once again being transformed into good ole Metropolis, U.S of A. Complete with Luthor Corps!!

Looking at Amazon, the price for the season one blu ray has dropped by almost $20 already.

Definitely doing an HD binge watch over some weekend in the near future.

I wonder if this show will last as long as Arrow or Flash, like a 3-5 season run.

Hopefully it gets 7 seasons and a movie with a 150+ episode run .

IGN spoke to Andrew Kreisberg about how they're handling Superman this season...

“When Supergirl and Superman walk into the room, everyone gets really quiet about him. And her reaction is, “Oh, please…” We sort of liken it to if your brother was a famous rock star, or a famous movie star, all you remember is a lifetime of growing up and fighting over who's sitting in the backseat, and sharing a bathroom, and he pulled my hair. And then you go to a restaurant, and people are sending him drinks, like, ‘Oh, right this way...’ and that's sort of Kara's interaction. People have asked us how do you make sure that Superman doesn't overwhelm the lead of your show? Rather than shy away from that, we're embracing it. It's kind of the idea like, yeah, he is more popular than she is. How does she deal with that? That's our take on that dynamic that’s between them.”
