She hadn't known that until I told her, and she was amazed, especially since the character she plays in "Bitten" has that same birthday; also, she's apart of The Danvers family in that. <br /><br />She was very gracious and at one point referred to Supergirl as being her, and also mentioned she felt it was meant to be that she had had that role.<br /><br />It was awesome to meet her, and I hope the new actor to play her will be as wonderful as Ms. Vandervoort.<br /><br />As for this TV series, I'm both stoked but also very anxious about it. Supergirl too often gets the short end of the stick, and while those behind the show certainly are describing the character of Supergirl with honour and respect, we are still getting ALEXa Danvers, who is described so much like Smallville's Lex. So Kara might go against her sister, a gender bent Lex Luthor, who is also having a supporting cast of SuperMAN characters. <br /><br />Yes, Kara was a supporting character herself at one point, but has long since been that, and while she hasn't had a stable supporting cast, it's a shame we can't have Dick Malverne at the very least. But, I suppose having Superman associated characters might bring in some extra viewers, but I just hope that the myth of her being a carbon copy of her cousin doesn't come into play and retract from viewership.<br /><br />While it was cool that "they're still on different networks, and for the first year we want her all to herself" has been given in response to the crossover with Arrow and Flash, I think having those crossovers might benefit the ratings. <br /><br />Oh, while I don't like the Flash TV show, I do think it's awesome that 30 years after being killed off in comics, both Kara Zor-El and Barry Allen will now be on television!Uncle Screensaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300304069069472828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-31676882404788643602015-01-14T22:19:09.963-05:002015-01-14T22:19:09.963-05:00As as for the costume, anyone wanna take action th...As as for the costume, anyone wanna take action that at the end of the day she'll be wearing SuperPants?<br /><br />Oh Kara functioned well as a super-detective in the silver-bronze age (she even teamed up with Batman twice....) but the whole She-Sherlock thing is only one fun aspect of a larger more diverse character.<br /><br />Thats all I am saying<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-38966620655740450532015-01-14T22:12:06.530-05:002015-01-14T22:12:06.530-05:00Well, DC Comics stands for "Detective Comics&...Well, DC Comics stands for "Detective Comics", so I'm sure there have been silver age Supergirl tales in which she had to display some Sherlockian investigative prowess.

She'd probably jump at the chance to play her favourite superhero!<br /><br />I think she would have been a great Wonder Woman given the right material to work with. I watched that pilot, and man... it's absolutely terrible from start to finish. No wonder Berlanti doesn't even want to think about it. It's like mentioning Catwoman or (alas) Supergirl when talking about superhero films, it's the comparison everyone wants to avoid!<br /><br />Anyway, I'm pretty happy with what we got from Berlanti and Tassler this week, even if it is a bit vague and producer-y. Thanks for covering it all here Anj, most other websites are just cherry-picking statements out of context and extrapolating as far as they can go.<br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised if we don't actually see the costume until we start seeing set shots and promo still from the pilot - that was the case with The Flash, I recall. I hope the design lives up to Tassler's spiel. So the real news we're waiting for is the casting announcements...AndNowInStereohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021894582408478305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-17269406466992931582015-01-14T06:16:15.403-05:002015-01-14T06:16:15.403-05:00A Police Procedural?

Humble, smart, well-raised, I could'nt find anything wrong to say about her. She would have made the perfect Wonder Woman if the project had been in good hands. I have watched a copy (without sound) of the pilot, and she looked very well, despite the violence and these ridiculous costumes they gave her. <br /><br />Gemma is more Power Girl for me, I keep on voting for Molly !Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530963727079931767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-75165510927758222992015-01-14T03:27:29.480-05:002015-01-14T03:27:29.480-05:00As for costume, there have been so many costumes f...As for costume, there have been so many costumes from the comic books, animated series, and movie, that the producers should take their time to see what fits the series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-47606177429712414472015-01-13T20:18:40.985-05:002015-01-13T20:18:40.985-05:00Thanks for great comments!

Well's character, the villains, etc there is some darkness. Just usually overpowered by the light. The crossover contrasting Arrow and him was great to showcase that.<br /><br />My guess is it will be a long time before we see the star in the costume. That is a big promo best saved nearer the first airing (I think). <br /><br />Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-77354244877469724882015-01-13T17:46:06.240-05:002015-01-13T17:46:06.240-05:00I want to see the costume announced with who will ...I want to see the costume announced with who will play Kara.

It's a cheesy show of course, but it doesn't feel like it's embarrased of it and it's just having fun being a cute little comic book show, so I'm happy they're using that tone for this.<br />Let's hope we can see the costume soon (and that it's better than the Flash one...wouldn't it be cool that it could be based in the Smallville S11 costume? Just saying!)LJ-90https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786120657682897989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-16979030937466567252015-01-13T12:57:20.923-05:002015-01-13T12:57:20.923-05:00Really enjoying all of this wonderful Supergirl tv...Really enjoying all of this wonderful Supergirl tv show news!<br /><br />Super-stoked to hear more of a crime drama/Lois & Clark feel to the show.<br /><br />Glad to hear Lois & Clark be a stepping stone for how to work with the genres presented.<br /><br />Really looking forward to watching this!<br /><br />Can't wait to see what they have planned in store for us.<br /><br />:)elknight20https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672586149558816018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-34083107183324555492015-01-13T12:52:23.252-05:002015-01-13T12:52:23.252-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.elknight20https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672586149558816018noreply@blogger.com
