I hope she and WW get ample screen time. Frankly, while Batman is a great character, he's overplayed.

Seeing it reassures me that Kara will appear in costume in the movie. <br /><br />Casting Summer Glau was an unexpected surprise. She did a great job on the Terminator TV show so I'm looking forward to hear how she voices Kara.<br /><br />Overall I am thrilled that this Supergirl storyline will be the next animated movie.
