But will anyone use the word Omegahedron?
Supergirl TV Series is being work on.
- Thread starter yenny
- Start date
Still not going to watch it.
Not that I have indulged, I think it is pretty clear that there is no way this series can be set in the Arrowverse. It can't really be set in the same universe as MoS, but maybe Smallville or Lois and Clark?
EDIT: Oh yeah, and I am calling it now that her sister is the big bad.
Well it is weird that the sister's name is Linda, when in comics, that that is Kara's human alter ego.
I woke up this morning, feeling that Calista is going to run, and they're going to have recast, and refilm the Cat Grant scenes.
Time to notice race.
It doesn't matter that Hank Henshaw is black when he should be white, because that's fun, buuuuuuuuuuut... Hank Henshaw, in the comics after he becomes an odd super villain (who didn't have a alternate identity), he levels up into the Cyborg Superman, who if the name wasn't a clue, is a robot partially made from Kal-El's cloned meat, and a dead ringer for Superman except for all the metal where half his face and limbs should be.
They're going to have to replace the actor, or Superman is black?
Further-more in the New 52, because the last 30 years had been decanonized and shook up, the Cyborg Superman is now Kara's father.
Hank is Kara's daddy?
Oh!
Earth II means Powergirl.
AH!
Is that how they cross over without crossing over?
Melissa playing Earth II's Powergirl on The Flash?

It will be interesting to see what Cyborg Superman is.
But now that we've seen Persuader, I am still going to guess that Linda will become Emerald Empress.

I'd be perfectly fine if we never saw Cyborg Superman on this show. I admit I'm not too familiar with whatever his current storyline is, but he still looks way too much like just a cheesy Terminator ripoff to me.
Plus as far as cyborgs and killer robots go, I think we're already fine with Metallo and Brainiac.

The original Cyborg storyline was great. I remember being so into the story at the time that I dreamed that Cyborg Superman was BAD--I woke up thinking why would that be the case and then next week I got the issue where he blew away the "Eradicator". I freaked out at my supernatural abilities.
Cyborg Superman worked as a one or two time villain, the same way that Doomsday should never have returned after the second storyline which provided a nice closure to the Death and Return of Superman arc.
One of the problems with comics is that classic villains can never just have their great stories that would stay in our memories as great f****** stories--they have to be sucked dry until they are dusty and stale.
Now you understand assimilation. There's a copy of you crouching in the rear of my brain, inventing good ideas or it gets the hose.
I think it depends -- some people prefer it pronounced one way, some the other way.
Hmm... given that they're calling her Kara Danvers, instead of Linda Lee Danvers (Kara Zor-El's Earth pseudonym in the comics), maybe they're going for the "kah-ra" pronunciation so that it isn't as easily confused with Carol Danvers, Marvel's current Captain Marvel, who's got a movie coming up in a few years. (And yes, it's really weird that both DC and Marvel ended up with major heroines named Danvers. Unless Carol's name was a deliberate knockoff.)
From what I saw in the trailer, its version of Krypton is incompatible with what we saw in those. And they both have white Jimmy Olsens. And this certainly isn't consistent with Smallville, since that Kara/Supergirl was older than Clark and active as a superhero before he finally emerged as Superman.
And Lois & Clark took place when it came out, in the early to middle '90s. It's been two decades since then, and it doesn't look like Supergirl's version of the Man of Tomorrow has been active nearly that long. (Unless they wanted to pull a Superman Returns and pretend it happened much more recently than it did.)
No, it's a universe of its own, with its own separate version of Superman.
Which just makes it so sleezy to use a variation of the Man of Steel movie super suit.
The blue stuff is the same texture right?

The movie says that the shield is the symbol for Hope, but the Supergirl TV show says that the sigil is the family coat of arms for the Els. I suppose it could still also mean hope, but over on Game of Thrones, the baddies have a bloke getting castrated on their cost of arms. If Zod ever shows up, he is not going to have anything approaching that level of fuckeduppedness.
The Kal-El leaving Krypton in a rocket is completely different, so they are obviously different "universes".

The sister's name is Alex, and since this is a DC world, it means Chyler is playing the sister, Lexi, again.
Oh, bollocks.
I guess if she marries anyone called Luthor, her path is all but set.

Or maybe she's another adoptee...did they say otherwise?
Pfffft--I was such an avid Superman reader in the years following the Byrne reboot that I guessed that the Cyborg was Hank Henshaw a couple of months before they revealed it, and went on record with my prediction at my LCS.

In my defense I only returned to DC for the Death of Superman arc and had no idea who Henshaw was. I was ready to forgive DC for COIE at that point and then they introduced Zero Hour to chase me away for good (until recently).
I think you're right...we'll get some reveal about being adopted later...Lexi's identity is easier to hide than a Tween with Superpowers...and since Lexi was (probably) adopted as a baby, she has no idea.
I am hoping, however, that the Lexi = Lexi Luthor is a back-up plan....and they might leave it alone depending on buzz & ratings.
They might also save it for Season 2, but plant some vague seeds this season
I'd not go that far, to me it's more likely that someone finally discovered the fact that girls can also ne nerds, can also read and enjoy comicbooks and that girls may like strong female heroes.. and that girls have money too!
So why not intentionally choose a female hero? Wonder Woman is out because she'll appear in a movie soon so that doesn't leave much that's halfway known to the audience and the big S on a red and blue costume with a red cape is recognizable enough even if there is a well shaped woman in it rather than a male hunk.
It was just odd how they bent over backwards not to say Superman and i don't believe it's been done so as to not take away the thunder from Supergirl. It may be licensing issues or that they want a strict separation of their movie and TV show universes (which would be a big opportunity and would be a good gateway entrance to the movie verse, a kind of reverse approach to Marvel).
Advertising/Demographics
The CW is already pulling all the heady advertisers who think they can sell shit to potatoes watching boy shows about Super Heroes.
The potatoes who want to watch girlshows about Super heroes are an untapped resource for advertisers to milk dry? If the answer is "yes" then some ### should grab their teets and fill a bucket.
Besides, Greg has already done two boy shows, maybe he wants to flex different muscles in his brain?

Yeah, someone already pointed out above that all the people involved reportedly wanted a Supergirl series all along. And I'm very glad to hear that. I was cynical about the prospect that network executives would actually understand the appeal of female heroes, but I'd be delighted to be wrong about that.
Perhaps a mix of both. Or maybe it's just being cute, like the way they keep calling the Hulk "the other guy" in the Avengers movies.
For that matter, how heavily do they use the Supergirl name in the pilot? Lots of superhero shows and movies tend to be embarrassed about using the code names. Berlanti's Arrow and The Flash have embraced the nicknames, especially The Flash, but a more "mainstream" CBS series might be a bit more hesitant to go all-out with them. I know there's that scene with Cat Grant defending the "Supergirl" name, but is the name used much beyond that? Maybe the avoidance of Superman's name is part of a more general reticence about code names.
No, the moment she agreed to work with the undercover agency, they started to call her Supergirl even though they knew her real name.
^Okay, that's cool.
