JackFetch Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 In case anyone wanted to see the costume under normal circumstances, and not in a studio under lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'm pretty excited for this show. If there was a character perfect for a series it's Supergirl. As long as they do like they did with Flash and make it fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davedevil Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 If you remember the Flash trailer from last year, it's probably best to watch only the first minute and a half. I like it though. I still dunno what they're gonna do with Superman but whatever. Not like Superman shows up too often in Supergirl's title, as far as I know.

Koete Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm really impressed. It looks like they spent a fair bit of money on the pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 It looks fun. It does feel slightly like the Black Widow sketch from SNL a few weeks ago but this is still rather impressive. I love Calista Flockhart's Cat Grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 There's something about Chris' current Ben Wayne avatar situated next to smiling Supergirl that really makes me laugh. This looks terrific. It has a very Flash-esque tone to it, and doesn't seem to cop out doing thecomics stuff either. Who else liked the nod tot he 80s Crisis costume?

Missy Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 It does feel slightly like the Black Widow sketch from SNL a few weeks agoThis is what I was coming here to type.That doesn't mean I won't give it a try, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 The first half is a lot like that Black Widow trailer. The second half is legit superhero stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I like it. It's pretty much what it needs to be. Hopefully every little girl will want to be Supergirl this Halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 That looks fun. I'll definitely be giving it a shot. "But Dan, it looks like a romcom and-" You know what else was a romcom? Superman '78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I mean, yeah there's a nerd who's hot for her, but I don't really get the romcom thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 The one thing that is looking legitimately terrible is the flying effects. Like, something out of a Channel Awesome video or something. Lois and Clark had better effects 20 years ago. Is this the first superhero show CBS has had since Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk?

Dan Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 They had The Flash in 1990. But it's been a looooong time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 They did have a Justice League pilot back in the 90s. It's pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Ha! Yeah, it's all kinds of not very good, but the sheer determination it has to be SO FUCKING GOOFY makes it fun to watch occasionally. It's basically "What if Friends was written by Giffen and DeMatteis?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightAngle04 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I think if you take the music away, more people wouldn't be so negative on it. I think it looks fine and will check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 The pilot leaked online. Edit: I really liked it. All the stuff everyone is complaining about is the first 10 minutes of the show. It's more like Flash than anything else. It's fun and has none of Arrow's moodiness. My only worry is that they can't keep talking about Superman(never calling him by that name of course) and never have him on the show. Also, Hank Henshaw is in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I liked it a lot. Very fun. Benoist is hugely appealing and the show has a good sense of humor. Also, this guy, kind of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I was kind of lukewarm on it. Benoist is great as Kara and the "super" aspect of it is really well-realized (seriously, best TV superhero VFX ever), but there was definitely something missing. It's easiest to compare this Supergirl pilot with the Flash pilot, but where the Flash really worked, I think Supergirl kind of fell on its face. It's the personal/family angle of it all. There's no true equivalent of the Barry/Joe relationship, or even a decent Iris. Hell, Smallville's pilot established multiple different relationships that worked; pretty much none work in Supergirl. There's four different familial characters in Supergirl, two of whom don't talk, one who has only one or two lines, and a fourth who's practically an antagonist and not very enjoyable to watch anyway. Even Kara's "friends" at her workplace are more weird than friendly. It is a pilot, of course, and it's pretty crammed with plot, but still. That human element is why The Flash works, it's why Lois & Clark worked, and it's why Smallville worked for a few years at the beginning. Supergirl needs that too.
