Supergirl TV Series is being work on.

[Guy Gardener]

She looks like a bobble head.

The camera is shot from a weird angle, so I'm not being entirely horrible.

(Oh! I always forget that my PC's visual aspects are way off because my square windows is playing on a very rectangular screen. Yes, this makes all my porns funhouse mirror squat by porn standards, which works out to seem around about healthy normal unfortunately.)

The costume material is the same as from Man of Steel?

Is she going blonde or staying brunette, or switching back and forth?

She's not smiling.

 

[Greg Cox]

She looks very much like the Supergirl Next Door.

I like it. Can't wait for the cosplay versions to start showing up.

Spoiler: Supergirl, classic pose.

 

[Tom Hendricks]

While I don't hate the mini-skirt, I wished they went with pants ala Man of Steel. I do hate those boots, they are hideous. I hope they change them before they really start shooting this, the boots are Ugly with a capital U.

 

[C.E. Evans]

I like it a lot. I love the shot of her smiling.

Same here. Love the costume.

A Capital U would make her Ultra-Girl which would imply an Earth 3 world of hurt right out of the gate.

I like the costume. I'm glad they gave her one and didn't go the Smallville route of just having her fight crime in street clothes.

I like the costume. I'm glad they gave her one and didn't go the Smallville route of just having her fight crime in street clothes.

When I first heard about this series, I actually thought that was what they were going to do. And even when I initially heard about an intended costume, I was skeptical of it being anything other than just modified street clothes.

 

[davejames]

My first reaction was that it was way too dark for Supergirl (or at least the kind of Supergirl costume I'd prefer to see), but as the day has gone on it's really started to grow on me.

Although while I do think the blue fill-ins on the S work fairly well, I can't help but wish they had just made them yellow instead. Just to give it a slightly more traditional touch I guess (of course who knows, they're apparently going to give the Flash his more traditional yellow and white symbol later on, so maybe we'll see the same thing with Supergirl too at some point).

 

[Focus Abbey]

I'm quite pleased with the costume. It has a timeless simplicity. I like the subtle red seam on the top that carries down into the hem of the skirt. I like that the cape is tucked into the top rather than being awkwardly attached to the outside.

I'm especially pleased that it's quite dignified. Presumably, a hero with Supergirl's powers doesn't have to wear armor and combat boots. But even if those boots end up being high heels, I'm glad that this costume doesn't follow the adolescent male fantasy course set by the comics. At the risk of being overly optimistic for a CW drama, it would be nice if young girls could see a role model that doesn't have to walk a tightrope between being a superhero and a sex symbol.

The costume could use yellow in the S-logo

The logo has yellow...it's just a thin outline instead of the background color.

The cape and miniskirt aren't too practical for an action heroine, though. Maybe a shorter, waist-length cape like the DCAU Supergirl wore would work better.

If there's any hero who doesn't have to worry about a cape being impractical, it's Superman. And that would naturally extend to Supergirl as well.

 

[Guy Gardener]

The Cape is (sometimes) the blanket he was rapped in in the rocket that took him to Earth... Superman goes into battle with his binkie. Is he really the bravest hero of them all, or is he a mere Kryptonian super propped up emotionally by his binkie?

The cape (sometimes) has a magic pocket where he can fit Clark Kent's entire wardrobe without extruding the cape's line.

The yellow symbol for hope on his cape can (sometimes) be removed, and be used an adhesive net of some sort that "grows" during flight towards it's target, and retains the tensile strength to restrain an empowered Kryptonian.

The Cape can (sometimes) be stretched out over a massive area, held down by tent-pegs to act as an umbrella like shield.

If there's any hero who doesn't have to worry about a cape being impractical, it's Superman. And that would naturally extend to Supergirl as well.

It could still get in the way at times. Sure, she could tear through it effortlessly, or see through it with x-ray vision if it fell over her head, but why go to the hassle (and risk looking bad to boot)?

Although they could go with the Silver/Bronze Age take that the costume is made of indestructible Kryptonian materials, with the cape being practically a superpower in its own right, fireproof and bulletproof and infinitely stretchable, able to shield people from harm or catch missiles in flight or contain explosions. Then it kinda has to be long enough to wrap around some innocent bystander at a second's notice.

One thing I sometimes noted on the '40s Superman radio show is that they referred to his "red cloak streaming in the wind" -- not a cape, but a cloak. Which suggests more of a heavy wraparound garment with a collar than just something dangling off the back. I wonder what that would look like.

 

[martok2112]

The actress is cute, and I like the costume. Reminiscent of the '85 costume. This one is sexy yet modest. And I like the MoS coloring they've used for it.

If they can keep the stories as good as Arrow has been, I'm eagerly awaiting this show.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I want to see Kara throwing cars at her enemies.

Imagine if she tried to insure herself?

 

[Joel_Kirk]

The actress looks cute, the costume looks okay, and the new pics show her to be wide-eyed, eager, optimistic...kind of like Helen Slater's version of Supergirl. And, speaking of Slater, I'm looking forward to seeing her on the show as well.

 

[DWF]

She does look good,but it would've been nice for the pictures to have been alittle brighter I think.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Interesting, the material is more modern but the costume has a bit of an old-fashioned look to it. It will be interesting to see how it looks in action.

There might arguably be some merit to the "no tights, no flights" philosophy but at this point it's ridiculous to think that 2015 audiences can't accept costumes and other comic book touches.

 

[USS Triumphant]

I've never seen her before.. but just from the picture, her face doesn't look all that attractive to me.

Life long DC reader here, from 1982 up until shortly after Zero Hour, at which point I had a family and more important things to do with my cash flow than a couple of dozen comic subscriptions. I'm the sort of Superman fan that wore the armband unironically when he died. Just to establish my street cred on this topic, yo.

The actress chosen was on Glee for a season - one of the new characters they brought on after the most of the original cast graduated, before they saw the effect on the ratings and decided to find mostly really dumb excuses to bring the original cast back in and shove the new ones to one side and then almost completely eliminate them when the show came back.

In my opinion, she's a good actress, and pretty but in a very near-plain down-to-earth kind of way. The way her character was on Glee, she could have turned out to be Linda Danvers from a parallel world and I wouldn't have been too surprised. In other words, aside from her hair color, which I will adapt to, I think this is excellent casting.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Of course she's my new wallpaper, and as soon as I got Kara that big I noticed that she is a lot more blonde than I at first thought she was. I think it's a dark room where the pictures were shot, and they may intend to make her blonder, but right now she's not a brunette.
