Supergirl TV Series is being work on.

Seems like not being able to use Deadshot or Harley would have more to do with Suicide Squad than Batman at this point.
 
I'm personally inclined to discount Willa's comments, especially since I've never heard the producers - who would normally be the ones to comment on that sort of thing before any of the actors did - mention anything about having plans for Harley that were nixed.

I also find it really hard to believe that certain characters would be 'embargoed' after-the-fact, as that would be pointless.
 
i'm inclined to believe an actor working on a show over some speculator on the internet.
 
Remember Linda Park? A TV reporter of that name, played by Olivia Cheng, appeared in the second Barry Allen episode of Arrow and again in the Flash pilot in news reports about the particle accelerator. But the producers later ignored that, cast the considerably younger Malese Jow as Linda Park, and made her a sports reporter for a newspaper.
Linda Park is a fairly common name for Asian-American women - they could still be separate characters. ;)
 
OR TIMETRAVELLERS!!!!!!

The Crosstime Council of Linda Parks!

Get Linda in from the 90s series, and the JLU toon and we're golden.
 
Odd thing about Melissa is that she has a scar, almost a divot above her eyebrow.

That's a pretty off affectation for a Kryptonian to find herself with considering her natural invulnerability under a yellow sun.

The adorable Child actor playing young Kara didn't have that scar?

(I highly doubt it.)

So its possible that this is an injury that happened to Supergirl in the Phantom Zone, that she's forgotten about.

The only limits I've heard about is that the Arrowverse shows have been told not to use any more Batman elements now that Gotham is on the air.

I have no idea where you got this idea from because I can't find any evidence of it actually being a 'thing' other than a statement from Marc Guggenheim regarding Deadshot being 'off the table for the nonce' that, honestly, is so incredibly vague that it could mean anything.
I honestly don't remember, but I distinctly remember reading it because it was right after they'd introduced Ra's and I was wondering if it was going to have any kind of effect on previously introduced characters.
 
I saw the pilot...looks solid, though definitely with agree with the improvements that need to be made. Looks like a promising start.


God no.. he's an awful actor.

He did just fine as Superman.

Yep. I have always felt Routh got shortchanged. I loved his Clark Kent and his Superman had potential. Too bad the script didn't give him more material to work with.


I think Routh is a good actor...well done as Ray Palmer (Arrow-verse version).... it's the writing...which blew me away how bad it was for Superman Returns...


Also, if Flash is PG, this one might rate closer to G. WHich i think is fine -- we need diversity in styles.

This show could help perpetuate the audience for comics & comic-related media into the future.
This looks to dark and violent to be TVG to me. TVG ratings are pretty much saved for caroons and Disney channel type shows. I honestly can't think of any primetime dramas that aren't at least TVPG.

It doesn't seem too "dark and violent" to me compared to other action shows, but yeah, no way will this be TV-G. That's just not happening in a primetime network series.

Oh, no I didn't mean dark and violent compared to other actions shows, I meant compared to shows that usually get a TV-G rating.

I didn't think it would be G either...just a LIGHT PG, like American Ninja Warrior. Just the occasional thing to be worried about...not like, say Gotham, which might be TV 14, but stronger than that..certainly can't have my girls watching it 9and too unpredictable to pick out episodes)

The ratings aren't as clear cut as they can be.
 
The claims that (4 days ago) Supergirl was downloaded 250,000 people is a statement made by a torrent news site. They were probably only monitoring the first, or the first few torrents, but frankly torrents are the scary things that leads to stormtroopers kicking your door down. There's also file lockers, usenet, emule, grabbit, irc and a couple other reasonably popular alternatives to torrents that could multiply that quarter of a million estimate by a factor of 10.
 
I doubt it will affect the ratings that much, at least over the long haul. The people who enjoyed it will almost certainly show up for the following episodes, and the people who didn't like it were probably never going to watch past the first episode to begin with.

I know I plan to see the premiere, just to see if any changes have been made to it.
 
Oh, I was suggesting that if two to 10 million people in the world had seen the show and liked it, and wanted more, that it would be good for the ratings whensoever it finally decides to manifest terrestrially.
 
I saw the pilot and fully intend to set my dvr as soon as it shows up on the demand list. It's almost six months from now. It'll be nice to see it fresh again. And I'm sure there are more people like me than not.

This "leaked" pilot thing, I fully believe, is intentional to boost interest in the series. It worked for Flash, didn't work for Constantine--of course that pilot was changed for the worse--so that is fifty percent success. The network WANTS people to see this.

One thing I learned from the trailer is that I've been pronouncing Kara's name incorrectly my entire life and nobody has corrected me. I've been saying CARE-a not CAR-A. And I think I will continue to do so. And NO, I never watched the 1984 movie, but I thought it was pronounced CARE-A on Smallville.
