Official 'SUPERGIRL' Discussion Thread

Quote :

ABOUT SUPERGIRL: Supergirl is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El, Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant. She works alongside her friend and IT technician Winn Schott and famous photographer James Olsen, who Grant just hired away from the Daily Planet to serve as her new art director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw, head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.

Well it's finally upon us! Supergirl makes its TV debut tonight at 8:30PM. Looks like I'll be missing half of Gotham!

Haven't seen it yet, but I was surprise to see it gotten a 100% fresh rating over at RT. Suck on that, Jessica Jones!

Solid first episode. Don't remember, but I think this cut has some different scenes than the one that leaked.



Looks like the rest of the season will be pretty cool and also looks like they might drop the whole "him", "cousin", "boy in blue" instead of just saying Superman.

Where's Superman?

Biggest premiere for any comic book show.

Makes me wonder how much Wonder Woman is going to do?

I can see Wonder Woman making Hunger Games kind of money since it'll capture both male and female audiences.

R.I.P. Captain Marvel

Really hopeful for this series. Hope it gets better and better. Wish it didn't have to duke it out with Gotham though.

Lol what? Cap Marvel has the Marvel brand backing it. It's guaranteed to make big money.

Doubt it will make as much though.

We live in a world where an Ant-Man film has made about $500 million thanks to the Marvel brand. It'll make money.

More clips from episode two:

Looks like Supergirl is making rookie mistakes. Also love that they're mentioning Superman by name and not by some allusion. Liking the training scene, but damn it stop with the cringey, annoying "It's cause I'm/she's a girl" thing. And is that hellgrammite?

Loving the show so far. Episode two was good. Excited for next episode. Though I do dislike how they market it.

Spoiler:

Lol Did they ever ask Superman if he's going to start a family? Also I wonder if Maxwell Lord will essentially be this shows Lex Luthor.

Solid episode. Seeing Superman was pretty cool and the conversation between Kara and Clark was also a nice touch. #MattBomerForSuperman

Episode 3 looks pretty cool.

Episodes 4 & 5 were swapped cause of the plot of ep4 being similar to the events in Paris, but we did get the Livewire episode. The show continues to be solid, but just that, though it looks like the show is starting to unfold its stories now and setting up for others like Dean Cain's character working for the D.O.E. which Supergirl's sister works at. Livewire was a better villain than Electro, but that's not saying much. Like I said before it was a solid episode.

Does this mean that Supergirl doesn't exist in the same universe as Arrow and The Flash?

It never did considering Superman doesn't exist in the DCW-Verse. And if they were to ever connect them then it'd likely be a Earth 1 - Earth X crossover like they're doing in Flash season 2 with Earth 1 and 2.

Last night's episode was solid. This episode was suppose to air last week and last weeks this week, but they were swapped cause of the Paris attack and it showed since it had a lot of mentions of the episode 3 and the story didn't make sense at moments. Also Hank Henshaw is Cyborg Superman, and Maxwell Lord is a conniving little shit and the last scene of the episode reminded me of the time Superman met Lex Luthor in Superman: TAS.

Next week is Red Tornado!

Also Superman is coming to the show, but he's.... 13? Wait what? And he's meeting Kara? WHAT?! How?! Time Travel? Wait.... is it fucking Connor?!
