I don't have information about her, or her private life, but she seems to project all the elements that characterize Supergirl. Youth, innocence, joy, good mood, inner and outside beauty too. I think she could be the perfect actress for the part.

They did a terrific job of writing and producing an entertaining, non-grim and gritty superhero show-especially in the last episodes when the interesting concept, likeable characters, and decently-crafted plotting finally came together into a satisfying whole. I have always wish that show hadn't been cancelled. They are entirely capable of a modern version of the classic Silver Age Supergirl if that's what they have in mind.William Ashley Vaughannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-22642892424735458272014-09-09T08:49:08.148-04:002014-09-09T08:49:08.148-04:00I, for one, would LOVE to see Peter David's Su...I, for one, would LOVE to see Peter David's Supergirl/Linda Danvers (along with her supporting cast) up on the small screen. <br /><br />Peter's series was just SO diverse at the time-<br /><br />(mid to late 90's to early 00's) <br /><br />(Added brownie points for positive portrayals [for the most part] of GLBTQUAPI inclusion with Blithe & Andy/Comet, & just great characters to bounce off of like Wally The God-boy, Cutter Sharpe, & Mattie Harcourt) <br /><br />-and you had action, comedy and drama to boot, throughout it's 80 issues (plus crossovers and cameo appearances)!<br /><br />:)elknight20https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672586149558816018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-16255451915932211552014-09-09T07:56:46.929-04:002014-09-09T07:56:46.929-04:00Thanks for more comments!

Here i...Hello Here is my thoughts on if it happens<br /><br />Here is my rant over this so called news on the possibility of a "Supergirl" TV series.<br /><br />I personally hope that it wont be based on the fucked up New 52 version because I seriously hate that fucking comic and I hate what DC has done to one of my favorite DC comics characters. <br /><br />Instead what I would like to see done and I hope the fans do, is a TV series based on the 1959 version of Supergirl or based on the Smallville version of the character as I thought they did a good job at handling her character However i still hate that they changed her character's history by stating that she is from Kandor and not Argo City. Why they changed it? I will never know but if they decide to do a show based on the Smallville version of her, I hope they recon it and state she is from Argo City.<br /><br />Here is what I would like to see if this series is created<br /><br />1. Argo City(Hometown of Supergirl cast off when Krypton exploded)<br />2. Blue or red Kilt/Skirt<br />3. Her 1959-1984 rogues gallery but updated (Blackstarr,The Gang,Matrix-Prime,Decay,Reactron and a few others.<br />4. her sidekick should be Lena Thoul( who is if anyone knows Lex Luthor's sister)<br />5 If they are trying to make the series like Smallville or Gotham then the series should be called "Midvale" since that is where most of Supergirl's adventure's took place and it should be based on her times in the orphanage or with her adoptive parents: The Danvers<br />6. Give the series a chance to grow in storyline, (if they can make Arrow a hit with its different versions of storylines then they can do the same for Supergirl)<br />7. Bring in characters from the movie and the comics as friends or allies(Lucy Lane, Myra and Muffy, Selena, Bianca, Nigel, Zaltar,and others)<br />But don't bring plot points from the movie into the series.<br />8. Bring back Jerry Goldsmith's main theme and love theme but arranging differently or updated!<br /><br />Here is what I don't want to see if this series is made<br /><br />1. No fucking New 52 anything, (go back to basics and bring back a character that was loved in 1959-1984)<br />2 NO fucking Jockstrap costume, Supergirl is a girl,not a fucking man<br />3. No whining or complaining or bitching Supergirl. (Another reason I dislike the new 52 Supergirl)<br />4. No tossing her homeworld "Argo City" into a blue sun or blowing it up. Sure it's a dead chuck with people who have died of KR Poisoning but it could make a good storyline later on in the series.<br />5. No short hair!<br />6. NO CAMPYNESS!<br /> <br />That's my rant and I know that this is a fictional character but when it comes to my favorite characters I am very passionate and opinionated as well. ;-)Argocitycub2014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-20997464050187232552014-09-08T15:54:08.797-04:002014-09-08T15:54:08.797-04:00I'd like to see Molly Quinn portraying Kara.

Either it is Supergirl ... or it isn't.<br /><br />And I suppose it is easy for me to say 'be like Buffy' since that seemed like a perfect storm.<br /><br />But, if it happens, there better be an S-shield!

It would be intriguing if the show was set in a universe without Superman.

Which is sad because TV is Supergirl's natural venue much moreso than a big budget movie...we can argue that cousin Kara's return to the DCU in 2004 was more or less brokered by Bruce Timm's "Superman the Animated Series" which conclusively demonstrated the original's ongoing appeal.<br />Well what of it? It's a fifty fifty shot the script gets written, another fifty fifty shot that the pilot gets made ANOTHER fifty fifty shot that the series gets picked up to say nothing of becoming a rating success or being worth watching to the fanbase....<br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-84683016072095024212014-09-06T08:58:22.187-04:002014-09-06T08:58:22.187-04:00I thought the news of a Supergirl TV show was terr...I thought the news of a Supergirl TV show was terrific. Then I about did a spit-take when I read the comments that the show wouldn't be called "Supergirl" but might be called "Super" or "Girl". I hope the transcript of the quote missed the humor because if they don't realize how stupid a Supergirl show--or ANY series--just called "Girl" sounds, they are not mentally competent enough to drive at night let alone helm a television series.<br /><br />The other quote I have concerns about is the "new interpretation of Supergirl". I want to believe that's just standard studio talk for "not based on any specific Supergirl stories from the comics". I want to believe that, but I have a nagging suspicion it'll be closer to changing the character so much she's barely recognizable as Superman's cousin. They could borrow one of Power Girl's origins, like make her a super powered clone (or lost princess from Atlantis). I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to cannibalize a lot of the ideas from the scrubbed Wonder Woman and Amazon comic shows.<br /><br />I want this show to work and I want it to be great.

You know what would be awesome? If they were able to get it on Teen Nick! I know that concept sounds crazy but think of the audience they could get and the future fans of Kara if they hit that teen girl demographic hard!<br /><br />Shows like Zoe 101 are very popular on that network and it would expose her to the fan base she needs. If they went to one of the big networks, ABC is obviously out so I would guess NBC or FOX would be the most likely of destinations, but then your getting more 'grown up' kind of stories for Kara.<br /><br />She's a teen girl with teen problems...only with Superpowers! Don't make her grow up too fast. I suppose maybe you could pitch it to Sci-Fi network and tell her story BEFORE Krypton was destroyed. That would make for an interesting spin.<br /><br />Anyways you slice it, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that this project is successful and that it's something my daughter can enjoy with me.Comic Book Nerdhttp://www.comic-book-nerd.com/noreply@blogger.com
