Supergirl TV Series

CBS is finally doing the right thing and moving season 2 to CW.

CBS is finally doing the right thing and moving season 2 to CW.

It's kinda a bad idea since nobody watches cbs anyway; they had the opportunity to attract more viewers to the channel. But at the rate things are going cable / satellite television will probably be replaced with more online options like netflix sooner or later.

And my god this wait until season 2 starts is killing me!

Maybe the cw will have sense enough not to put it opposite Gotham. No need to split the actually still watches live TV comic fan demographic.

It would be funny if it outperformed whatever CBS replaced it with in that slot, though.

He's still missing the traditional red trunks, but we're finally getting a proper version of Superman after Zach Snyder's cinematic desecration of the character.

Why is that Twilight cosplayer in that Superman outfit?

is the belt there to make us think that's not a (footy?) onesey? It doesn't even appear to have compartments for his amnesium and Team Edward decoder ring. Oh and the boots got lifted directly from the COH character creator.

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.

Jeez, Batman could probably whoop this Superman's @$& without an armor suit and kryptonite spear.  :o

Hey Supes!  Ya wanna arm-wrestle?

And one of Clark and Jimmy, plus a Daily Planet newspaper stand:

Is Jimmy taller than Clark?

[Golden Girl]

By 4 inches.

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.

Edit: As opposed to having normal little self-pay stands like every other paper.

The Daily Planet has teamed up with Wonka to print their newspapers on delicious Noshpaper.  All thanks to that time Superman stopped Lex Luthor from stealing forty Wonka cakes.

Notice it's set up to look like a vintage newspaper kiosk, so I'd imagine they make good money selling their papers to hipsters at a 600% markup.

Absolutely hate his costume.  It's ok for Spiderman to have the raised ridges because in his case they are supposed to represent webbing.  But Superman's just looks like it has really horrible seams or perhaps he has it on inside out.

And I honestly think if you just gave him some white makeup he would make a passable Bizarro without any prosthetics.

[Night-Hawk07]

I do like how the costume appears brighter, compared to the Snyderverse costume.

Some more on set pictures:



At least some of the episodes featuring Superman will take place in Metropolis, which makes sense:

This is presumably Lena Luthor's company, as she's been cast as a recurring character for the series:

It appears that Metallo will be showing up in some form:

And as a result, Kal-El seems to adopt some kind of anti-Kryptonite fancy harness:

But it looks like he needs help from Martian Manhunter to take down Metallo:

I think the cape is too long.
