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?
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.

Of course you wouldn't.

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

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.

"Merlin" actress Katie McGrath (Morgan Le Fay) has been cast as Luthor Corp CEO Lena Luthor. Should be interesting. Wonder if she'll keep her british accent or try out an American one. I'll half expect her to have a pet dragon tho. Or at least mumble something about annoying wizards.

No word if Lex will ever pop up or where he's at but it'll probably be mentioned briefly in the episode.

This sounds odd, but I'm sure they'll pull it off. Can't wait.

She.. ain't no Miss Martian. The CW is creatively bankrupt anyways, so whatever. But as an MM fan... Sad!

Kinda sad CW has to ruin Young justice characters by bringing in artiemis to arrow and MM to Supergirl. At Least kid flash looks good.

You do realize these characters are from the comics right? Young Justice was just the Earth 16 versions of the characters.

The poster and the DVD set. If he wants an illegal DVD rip of her Fappening video or whatever it was, he'll have to create/obtain that on his own.
