Spoilers Supergirl - Season 2

I hope they don't treat the cliffhanger as an afterthought. They probably will but that's one thing I'm not a fan of when it comes to premiere episodes. The cliffhanger is dealt with in the first 30 seconds and then the new season can officially start.

The synopsis says they're stunned by it, so it's more likely it'll be 30 minutes of them staring at the pod rather than 30 seconds. :D
 
Supergirl may have found its "Doctor" (AKA the Director of Cadmus) in Brenda Strong.

How was Supergirl? — Donna
The season 2 premiere is definitely a fun mix of comedy and action, along with a pretty surprising exchange between Kara and James. I can’t say more, but I can’t tell you that Brenda Strong joins theSupergirl cast in a recurring role — and she makes quite the first impression in the season 2 premiere.
 
DC decided that there can only be one.

Given that they brought back the character AFTER Warner Bros. retroactively embargoed her and other characters and AFTER killing her off, I doubt there'd be any serious argument if they decided that they wanted to introduce her "Earth-S" doppelganger.

Hasn't that embargo thing been kind of debunked? Greg Berlanti recently said that WB asked them to use the Squad on Arrow as a test run for doing them as a movie.
 
I suspect that is something that there will never be an agreement amoung fans about what really happened. Some are convinced it was an embargo and will continue to think so no matter.

Similar goes for why DC and WB seem so resistant to ever use the classic Superman suit again. I am still reading assumptions it is due to the legal issues with the family of Superman creator Jerry Siegel. Yet there has been nothing to support that. Most likely it's a stuburn insistence to "fix" something that was never broken.

It is so frustrating to live in an era where people think that personal opinions overrule hard evidence or expert testimony. If the guy who actually produces the shows says there wasn't an embargo, what makes some layperson totally unconnected to the shows more qualified to know the truth?

I haven't heard that one, and it's completely bizarre. They are still using the classic Superman costume design aside from the red trunks, and the only reason they abandoned that is because they took decades of "underwear on the outside" jokes too seriously. If there were any legal issue, surely it would pertain to a unique element like the S shield instead of a fairly generic element like trunks worn over tights (something that, colors aside, was also a part of Batman's classic costume, as well as Aquaman, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, Dr. Fate, Cyclops, Wolverine, Magneto, Ant-Man, Daredevil, Mar-Vell, etc.).

People lie.

And yet none of those superheroes you've mentioned wears their underwear on the outside anymore! So what does that tell you?

It tells me exactly what I was saying: That the change is industrywide rather than being specific to Superman, and that it therefore makes no sense to attribute the change to a legal dispute with the Jerry Siegel estate.
 
Yeah, but "It conflicts with my preconceptions" is not proof that someone is lying.
I agree, I just meant that it was the reason why people don't always accept stuff the show/movie creators say. One of the big ones for me was when the creator/showrunner of Bones outright lied about about an episode where Booth and Brennan hook up being a dream, and then of course there's the whole Khan thing from STID.

Love that. The whole conversation between Clark and Perry was great, and I love the Els both showing up at the same disaster. I think that was even more fun that if they had teamed up on purpose.
Those two minutes felt more like the comics version of Superman than anything we got in all of MoS and BvS.

As a rule, though, there's such a thing as the presumption of innocence. If you expect someone to be honest and they turn out to be lying, that's their fault. But if you assume they're lying and they actually aren't, then you're the one in the wrong. So giving others the benefit of the doubt is a basic part of just generally not being a jerk. If you're going to accuse someone of lying, it should be based on evidence, and "Well, some other person with a similar job lied once" is not evidence by any rational standard.

Oh, I agree. Although I would attribute the change to social and cultural changes rather the comic book (or the movie) industry specifically.

That was amazing! No matter how many times and in how many variations I see of this scene, it still gives me goosebumps! :techman:
 
Meanwhile, in our first look at Supergirl season 2 footage, it literally takes only 30 seconds before we see the Vancouver Central Library, standing in for a Metropolis building. It's like they did that on purpose to get the "Yes, we're in Vancouver now, folks" business out of the way.
