Supergirl - Season Four

I've wondered why she does not take on that name. In the real world, Supergirl is a brand well over a half century old, so they might not be so willing to get rid of it, but there is precedent: in the comics, Dick Grayson was as tied to the name and identity of Robin as Wayne was to Batman, but in 1984, he was successfully transformed into Nightwing, and did not look back. Supergirl could go the same way, and as long as "Super" is in the name, it would not rock the boat with viewers.
Wouldn't be a huge deal to me, though I think "Supergirl" simply rolls more trippingly off the tongue.
Why is that article taunting us with pictures of the old suit, of which we are soon to be cruelly deprived? :wah:
 
I approve of the bangs. Bangs are ALWAYS a good look on a woman. But the suit? No. Needs the skirt. It's the classic look.
 
Think he means the callback to Superman '78 (though given the popularity of that movie and the prominence of Perrine's character therein, it's not really all that "inside").

Named after Valerie Perrine's Eve Teschmacher character from Superman: The Movie. She was basically just a bit player thrown in so that Cat Grant could imitate Gene Hackman's "Miss Teschmacherrrrr!" yell from the film.

Oh, right. I forgot about that.
 

I love the videos at the bottom of the article. :bolian:

(Not only can't I find the next video on youtube that gave me the next quote, I can't find it again on the EW site) AHA! I found it!

Why isn't Black Lighting represented in that video? Jason
 
My guess is because he hasn't crossed over with any other arrowverse show except a voice over in a (?) fight club / suit up commercial last year.
 
Despite being superior to any of the Arrowverse shows (yes, even my beloved Supergirl), Black Lightning is consistently sidelined pretty much everywhere. It barely gets discussed here, or reviewed anywhere. All the Arrowverse shows have had Blu-ray releases announced for their latest seasons, but not Black Lightning. I just wish I could figure out what sets the show apart that could possibly account for such marginalization ....

Yes, it says something that the far and away best of the DC/CW shows is handled like an afterthought. It has a very different message/inspiration--one that is not found on the other shows, so that may have something to do with it.

That is strange an a bit disturbing.
