Superman will be felt but he won’t be seen on ‘Supergirl’

For those who need a quick refresher, Non, a Kryptonian grunt, is traditionally a silent strongman. I am, of course, referring to Lucy (and Lois) father, General Sam Lane.

Supergirl Is Adding A Justice League Character, A Few OthersAt this years San Diego Comic-Con, the upcoming Supergirl series made announcements regarding a number of comic book characters who will be appearing in the new show – including Peter Facinellis Maxwell Lord, Reactron and Livewire. The official Supergirl Twitter account provided live coverage of the event, which included cast members Melissa Benoist, Calista Flockhart, David Harewood, and Mehcad Brooks, as well as producers Andrew Kreisberg and Greg Berlanti, and DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns. Comic fans range from die-hard fans to very passionate and everything in between.

In May, a high-quality copy of the Supergirl pilot leaked to piracy sites about six months before the debut date, and some cynics suggested the leak might be part of the marketing campaign for the latest Hollywood superhero project (If that’s the case: Mission Accomplished based on all the press about the leak). “We added a workplace element because that hadn’t been showcased, and also an adult, sibling relationship”. “We’d like to bring just a smidgen of the magic those films had”.

What about Superman? He’ll be a think about Supergirl’s life, however won’t be seen on display.

Previously, we got the sense from CBS that they really were not interested in crossing over at all with characters from other network shows, even though they are partial owners in The CW.

“When Dick Donner sees this show, I think he’ll be really proud that he inspired it”, Johns said.

We also get a better look at more of the villains we can expect on Supergirl’s first season, thanks to a crashed spaceship that’s let a lot of bad guys loose on Earth. People come for action and end up staying for the characters and vice versa. There’s a real family aspect and I just think that Cat knows that already: “I’m a girl and I’m awesome and I’m not gonna apologize for that”.

Benoist does capture the joyful feeling of being a superhero that producers say they wanted for Supergirl. There was a relatability. The showrunner praised Benoist, saying that her performance has been “the most evocative since Christopher Reeve in terms of capturing that relatability”.
