FatherXmas nailed it. Big, black, and - it pains me to make the observation - kinda sexy is pretty much the complete antithesis to Jimmy Olsen.
Race doesn't matter. Hunkiness matters. It's "James" Olsen, eyecandy for the ladies that's a departure.
I loved the teaser because
Bright colors
Humor
Real super powers
I thought that Flash might just be a fluke because everything DC related seems to be required to be dark and gritty and as "real" as possible. But it looks like their tv shows at least are getting the idea it's ok for comic books to be translated to the screen as comic books.
If that's the biggest problem cynical eyes see, they're doing something right.
I'm afraid I disagree that race doesn't matter. It carries with it an aesthetic, and aesthetics are a major part of comic book characters. That's not to say I couldn't get behind a black Jimmy Olsen if he were smaller and perhaps a little doofy, but it's part of the equation - possibly the smallest part in the scheme of things - that's putting me off the character.
Steve UrkelAwright.
Could they have picked a worse Jimmy Olsen?
Edit: After a second viewing I know what I really don't like about it. The soundtrack in the promo. Please please please please not have this drivel in the series unless a radio is on in the background. This isn't ABC Family.
Political correctness demanded atleast one black main character. Just like JJ is making a statement with a black storm trooper in the new starwars and I've heard talk about a black James Bond too (facepalm) Before anyone says I'm racist, I am black so shut your mouth.
As long as we're on the subject, has anyone else noticed how often we see a black man and blonde woman in proximity to each other in movies, on TV shows, and even in commercials? What's with that? Are they going for visual contrast, or something? Sometimes it's almost like it's a video-industry requirement now. A part of my mind tends to notice patterns, and I've been seeing this one for some time. So, when Jimmy's casting was announced, that part of my mind wasn't surprised.
Here's the second shorter trailer that came out almost right after the longer promo - https://vimeo.com/128030930
I don't know about the second video, but I tried to watch this one, and it said that it's a private video, and that I need to enter a password. :/
Tim Gonzales edited the video leaving mostly the action scenes and minimal melodrama fluff.

Wait, her tech friend is the Toyman?
I have a passing familiarity with Jimmy Olsen's comic book exploits. He remains a goof despite them. Rick Jones on the Marvel side similarly has done all sorts of things and yet he's also a bit of a goof - albeit more in the slacker artist vein than the clean cut nerd. Hanging with cosmic powers does not exempt one from falling into the role.

I'm downloading now but kind of afraid to watch as I'm still in comic book guy mode over how silly the flash finale was.
The Supergirl pilot "leaked" today - in suspiciously high definition and without any watermark - just like the flash pilot "leaked" last year in suspiciously high definition and without any watermarks.Not everyone seems to agree, going from comments in other places.
My review - this is the greatest thing ever put on TV :P

...because it has animated hair?
And that the Lord that all those female empowerment anthems in the first look are absent. So we have a newbie superhero fighting off alien escape prisoners who are preparing for the arrival of General Not-Zod. I can get behind that.
Fears averted. Misgivings reduced.
As for the "leak", yeah, I know they are trying to target a wider audience but if you lose the fandom up front, you're in serious trouble. This should assuage their fears. It has mine.
But it makes it look as if he just dropped her off and then left which means Superman is a real dick.

What exactly is wrong with female empowerment anthems?
CBS doesn't need "the fandom". It's a national network, and the number of comic books fans out there is rounding error on their demographics. The CW doesn't rely on "the fandom" for Arrow and the Flash. Their target audience is 18-34 year old women, who typically aren't comic book fans. I suspect CBS is aiming at the same demographic. They don't need "the fandom" if they can get a chunk of the regular population; it'll be a audience than all the fans put together.
Maybe he had a premonition? :P

Wow, I never seen that issue before. I wonder how Superman got out of that situation. Maybe he kissed Perry White and he forgot sort of like what Superman did to Lois Lane in Superman 2.

Just like they gave the original TV Flash a role in the new series, I was wondering if any love for the original Supergirl?

AoS survives on ABC because ABC and Marvel are Disney and they understand the synergy they get with AoS between the MCU releases.
It's not just that. Although in the 18-49 demographic their live ratings have been in the 1.5 or lower area lately that doesn't matter. Their live+7 ratings (includes dvr and streaming services for the week following the broadcast) have run from the mid 2s to 3.We DVR almost everything we watch in the house because not all of us work the same schedule and we have a limited time that we can watch the shows together.
ABC at least has figured out that most people no longer watch live and that the targeted demographic is the audience that is most likely going to dvr or stream the shows.
We DVR almost everything we watch in the house because not all of us work the same schedule and we have a limited time that we can watch the shows together.
Anyone remember the good old days before VCRS and on demand that if you couldn't watch a TV show when it was broadcast, you had to wait until they showed it again to see it?
Or maybe not see it at all if it was a one off special or something.
Hmm, are we entirely certain Supergirl isn't going to be a procedural? CBS isn't exactly known for their continuing stories. That alone could turn it into a Constantine-sized disaster.
But I'm just surprised that no one has mentioned who the head of the DEO wasSpoiler for Hidden:
Supernatural
Grimm
X-Files
Buffy
All of them monster of the week shows for at least the first couple seasons. Nothing wrong with that as long as it's done right.
Wait, did Grimm get better? I gave up after about 6 episodes. And I've made it through some truly awful shows in my time.
Most of the time it was good. However recently it turned down a path I'm not happy with but could simplify things in the future. At times it's quite formulistic but those episodes worked best for me. The Royal family troubles and super baby I could live without.
I showed my wife the pilot.
Her response as soon as she saw Jimmy Olsen:
"Sorry Jimmy but you need to learn a lesson! For the next week you're just going to have to live as a tall, hot, black guy!"
"Aww jeepers, Superman!"

I don't see why there is this need to change an established characters race, or even gender.I'm hoping that was somewhat sarcastic tongue-in-cheek, since there was a white Nick Fury before the Nick Fury based on the looks of Samuel L Jackson.
I'm all for diversity but comics are a VISUAL medium. The character should be the character as portrayed in the comics.
I mean what's next? a white Nick Fury?

Agreed. I'm all for diversity and gender equality but there's other ways to accomplish this without changing the nationality/sex of established characters. I can swear often when it's done is to just create chatter/buzz about the movie before release.
I would love to see the reaction if they announced that the Black Panther would be played by a white actor.That's an apples to oranges comparison; it's not like white actors are under-represented in media.
Underrepresentation is no excuse for misrepresentation.Depends on what you mean by misrepresent.
That's an apples to oranges comparison; it's not like white actors are under-represented in media.
That's not my point. My point is changing the race of an established character is an issue in either direction.Alright, I understand your point. Your example runs into other issues which obscure your point.
Has nothing to do with white or black actors and how they are handled in the media.
Adaptors are creators. In this case they are creating a film. The important characteristics about Johnny are: Flame powers, personality, family/friends(Sue/FF). Race is not a key characteristic for the Human Torch.
Doesn't ones personality have something to do with their race?No.
No one doing serious work on race is going to agree with you on that.There is nothing inherent to personality based on race. There's lots of things that will affect personality based on things related to race (wealth, education, racism) but I'd like to see you produce a study that says certain races have certain personality dispositions based on genetics alone.

To bring this back on point (sort of; this is the Supergirl thread after all) there is no aspect of Johnny's personality that I know of that is exclusive to a white person.

I'm trying to figure out what "continuum" Supergirl all happens in?
Is this series set in the same world as Arrow and Flash? How about in regards the last Superman movie? They don't use his name, is that a license issue of some sort, and will that keep all these in separate worlds? Is the superman cousin here the same superman as in the 2006 movie?
In the marvels TV series, a non-comic book person like myself can be pretty sure it's all one world, and is consistent with the box office movies (Except for those embarassing early hulks they couldn't seem to get right.) It just seems DC is having trouble here.

As I've said about Jimmy Olsen, it's the turning him into a hunk rather than him being black that is more shocking. Lets reflect the demographic of the world we live in and we can do this with the secondary characters. But Jimmy is suppose to be a skinny, average height, somewhat dorky guy, not 6'3" with a 6-pack who could walk into a bar and leave with anyone he wants.(https://images.weserv.nl/?url=cdn03.cdn.justjared.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2010%2F12%2Fbrooks-family%2Fmehcad-brooks-family-guy-05.jpg)

So not the Jimmy I expected.
Jimmy Olsen is not likely to be walking around with his abs flexed and on display.
She says his name once during her starting voice-over.
Pretty sure she doesn't. I believe she said "you know his story".
As for not saying "Superman" is ... a joke within the writers room to come up with ways to mention him without saying his name.
She says "When I arrived, I was still a 13 year old girl - but in that same time, my cousin Kal-El had grown up and revealed himself to your world as Superman, the most powerful man in the universe."
And, yes, a key factor of Johnny Storm is family - his blood relation to Sue Storm. You may as well make Luke black but leave Leia white and ask everyone to buy it.
What's wrong with everyone buying it? I'm practically as white as the forum background. My wife is black (with a single native american in the family tree three generations back). Our son is the *exact* same skin coloration as me. Our daughter isn't. They are both absolutely ours - our hospital does parental testing before allowing you to take the baby home: apparently it had a bad rep for mixing up babies in the past (though babies now stay with their mother the entire time instead of going to a nursery - you'd think that would be enough).
I see your point played out, as everyone assumes our son is from my first marriage or that my wife is his nanny in public, but it's not *super* rare. Hey, maybe the movie will be educational to a portion of the populace (no, it won't. Avoid the youtube comment section on this movie at all costs).
It's an odd casting choice but it shouldn't be a suspension of disbelief crushing one. Same with 'Jimmy' - it's clearly not the same character, merely one borrowing a name and general theme of 'Superman's ally'. Like most of Gotham's cast. Pretty sure the Riddler didn't work for the GCPD in any of his origin stories, nor did Dr Thompkins. To say nothing of whatever 'Barbara' is supposed to be.
As for the rest of the show - I gave Smallville the benefit of the doubt (and kept watching for the perhaps 3 seconds of Super-awesome per episode, but mostly for the Luthors) for it's entire run. I can spare as season for Supergirl - as long as they don't put it up against Person of Interest, the Flash, or Agents of Shield.
I have to agree with you on Smallville. Mostly it was lame but I watched it for the occasional super hero stuff. After all back then we didn't have the plethora of superhero shows we do now. But what really kept me coming back to the show was Michael Rosenbaum as Luthor, and later on Erica Durance as Lois.

No no, it's clearly suppose to mean the 26th day of the 15th month of the year 2210. But yes, you're still going to need a time machine. :PDammit!
It's shorthand that ambiguously follows the long form. October 26th, 2015. Month, date, year. Sensible.Fixed that for you.
It's shorthand that sensibly follows the long form. October 26th, 2015. Month, date, year. Sensible.Until you go somewhere that says "the 26th of October, 2015"...which not few places/peoples do.
No one writes it like that in this century. That's the sort of anachronistic form that should include "in the year of our Lord" somewhere. Scoff scoff.Um, yes. That is exactly what 26/10/2015 is. And much of the world still does say the 26th of October. (In fact, it's not-uncommon here in the PNW part of the US.) It's how a lot of legal documents are written, too :)
I heard she's a fan of yours:

This is the case of "The Standard that Isn't".
November's 26th day in 2015 ... or ... The 26th day of November in 2015. They're both clumsy, and if one uses something clumsy long enough, it wears a path, and both sides are arguing from their well-worn paths. I've even heard of people refusing to use the number for the month -- month's aren't numbers. Instead of "26/10/2015" they might insist of "26-Nov-2015", or even "2015-Nov-26".
However, the latter has the advantage of being in order of magnitude. Days are sub-elements of months, and months in turn are sub-elements of years. But even that's just a preference for a style or purpose, consider "Four-score and seven years ago..." and "Four and twenty blackbirds..."
November's 26th day in 2015 ... or ... The 26th day of November in 2015.
If they do it in legalese, you *know* it's bad, clunky English. Of course, the "of" awkwardly used to reattach the severed date to the month is really all the proof one needs of how wrong it is. ;)That does not change the fact that it is, in fact, not archaic nor is it uncommon usage. (One, obviously, follows the other. If it's not uncommon, it by definition cannot be archaic, which means no longer used or not used enough to be considered.)
Hogwash. We use anachronistic terms and phrases all the time. Every time we dial a number on a cellphone, or hang it up for that matter. Some people use them without even knowing how or why they're wrong.
Heck, there are those who would argue that the imperial system of measurements is an anachronism, and look how much mileage that gets.

I do wish Kara wasn't being sent to Earth to watch over her cousin ... wouldn't most parents just save their daughter because they could if they had the means?
I do wish Kara wasn't being sent to Earth to watch over her cousin ... wouldn't most parents just save their daughter because they could if they had the means?Makes perfect sense to me. That's the Kara El origin story I'm already familiar with. If you don't want to spend an entire pilot (or season) telling an origin story when you can spend five or ten minutes recapping the story people are already familiar with, then just show us a few quick glimpses and move on to saving the airplane. Let's not make this another Smallville.

And I have no problem with "James" Olsen being African American, but does he have to be suave and sophisticated? I miss a nerdy Jimmy...
Anyone notice if there were changes from the 'leaked' version? Wondering if I need to bother watching before next week.
Minor edits, mostly tightened things up a tiny bit. Didn't she say the "It means "hope" thing about her symbol in the "leaked" -- that was gone, for example. I noticed because I always thought that was stupid.
To me, that's a recent invention. When I started reading comics Kara had come to Earth from Argo City when that city faced destruction from Kryptonite poisoning. They saved Kara because she was important to them. Not because they expected Kal-El to need a super babysitter.That's fair. It's been long enough since I've seen that origin referenced that I'd completely forgotten about it.
Having just finally finished my slog through the god-awful late 80s-early 90s Giffen/DeMatteis run of Justice League, seeing Maxwell Lord made me shudder.
Did I just witness a DBZ style beam clash with heat vision?
i think they figured since heated metal will turn blue and white at higher temperatures then so would heat rays. no, it doesn't make sense but then again i'm not entirely sure it makes sense for them to be red either.

You get much cooler promos than we do.
I see they're going to be going with the tried and true Flash formula and having Kara forget she has superspeed to make the fights more interesting.

I thought the series got off to a so-so start, but it's improving. I just wished they'd pace things out better. The early plot-line involving the aunt feels premature to me; more like it should be a late season development leading to a cliff-hanger finale.

It looks like that the only way for Kara to persuade Cat that she's not Supergirl would be to find a shapeshifter who could take on her form and be in the same place as her at the same time.... does she happen to know any shapeshifters? >.>

I just want to say something about Superman and Supergirl's secret identity. What bothers me the most is that they are the only superheroes who doesn't wear a mask and disguise their voices like everybody else in the DC Universe. How the hell nobody doesn't recognize who Clark Kent/Kal El and Kara Zor'el is. All they're wearing is glasses and a ponytail for Supergirl and then all of a sudden when it's time for Superman or Supergirl to save the day they take off their glasses and clothes and fly off!!! Like WTF?? It's like when I wear glasses everybody knows who I am but, when I take my glasses off people think I'm a different person. It's still me but, without the glasses. <--- That last example is my real life experience I do wear glasses. I can't believe Cat is the ONLY person who figure out who Kara is.

The difference is they all look like fan productions and the acting in general is really bad. Axanar looks professional with quality acting. It's a fan production just like all the others. Unlike the other productions Axanar deliberately removed Star Trek from their name so as to minimize their violation of the CBS intellectual property and so that their website wouldn't be found when googling Star Trek. Paramount and CBS are just being selective in their protection of their trademark because Axanar is good.
Or because CBS has a Star Trek show in pre-production now and they didn't before. There's no reason to boycott Supergirl because of all that though. Aside from the face-spiting nose surgery-ness of boycotting in general you can just 'get them back' by not paying for the hilariously misguided web service they're trying to piggyback onto new Star Trek.
The other evening, I attended a Christmas party at the gym where I exercise, and I chatted with a young woman who wore her hair down, which stylishly framed her face. The next night, a girl I had seen at the gym many times before, always with her hair pulled up and back, greeted me as if she knew me. It took me a few moments to realize, it was the same young woman from the party. I had not recognized her just because her hair-style was different.
Guys are dumb sometimes, which helps to explain why men can't pattern match beyond Clark and Kara's eyeglasses. But, why can't women see that Kara is Supergirl?

There should be a German word for pride/shame. I recognized the plant from the one special effects glimpse last week and said to my wife "yay, it's that plant thing Mongol gave Superman in that Alan Moore story -- the one that made Bruce Wayne dream his parents hadn't been killed".
I see they're titling this episode "For the Girl Who Has Everything" -- very cute.
There have been rumors that The Flash from the tv show might have a cameo appearance in Batman vs. Superman. They're trying to form a Justice League movie.
Except there's going to be a Flash movie too and it has a different actor playing Barry.
Considering how the writers have been treating the character in recent episodes, as in he's a "mentor" who is constantly being bailed out of a jam by his "pupil", I've become convinced that he would do better with his own show.
... Note to writers and directors; J'onn is considered to be the physical equal of Kal-El. How about treating him that way. He needs to kick butt to be a credible asset to the show.
J'onn is by any reasonable measure vastly the SUPERIOR to Kal-El through most of his history. He is the most notoriously power-inflated character in the history of comics -- possessing any power temporarily convenient for the writer. In JLA of the late 60's/70's he had "Martian Speed" and "Martian Vision" and could take on any other character's powers by changing his form to match them. Sensible writers scale that back a BIT. (Interestingly on Supergirl he doesn't seem to be able to turn invisible -- one of his earliest and most basic powers)
J'onn, like most DC Characters, suffered a huge power increase in the 1980s.
In the 1960s stuff I've seen of him, he was nowhere near Superman's class in terms of strength or durability. He used "Martian breath" far more than his telepathy or Martian vision.
Having Silver Banshee around the office is a bit much.
Yes - so poor Winn's in for more heartbreak :P
Oh good, as if this show weren't already dangerously close to being Smallville 2.0 they're going to reuse the red K makes Kryptonians a dick story. Why not do something fun with it like have her grow an extra arm or turn into a baby or develop a luxuriant beard.

So... is the Daily Planet so successful because of Superman that it can afford to *pay a guy* to sell newspapers out of a kiosk? With nothing in the stand, like food or drink? That is insane.
When the first comic-book (or comic-strip) superheroes were created, in order to give the reader the idea that they were stronger than normal people, the costumes were patterned after the circus-strongman attire of the day: a body leotard, with trunks, shorts or briefs over it for modesty purposes.
Traditionalist though I am in a lot of things concerning comic-book heroes, I'm actually glad that they're moving away from the "underwear on the outside" look.
Several of the saner people at DC want the red underpants of power to be brought back too.
