US: Supergirl (Arrow/Flash team)

If they aren't gonna go with the red boxers they need something in the middle of it to stop the sea of blue and that works.

Beats the Man of Steel costume imo.
 
Nope, don't like the look of the costume or the actor they have chosen.

His face reminds me of drunk bad superman from Superman 3 and he also needs to hit the gym, he looks more like Plasticman.

They should have gone with the 52 costume but I suppose the two of them had to look similar.

Looking at this again I'm convinced they've photoshopped him and Benoist together for that photo and in the process put him out of proportion.

I think you're probably right, at least I hope so. I've just seen this now, and my first thought was he just looks like some guy who turned up for a cosplay convention.
 
Suit looks OK to me. Could be done a bit better, but then they they can't spend spend the same amount of money that they do with the movie costumes. Nice to see some red that actually looks red, and not burgundy. Shame it will likely appear darker like it does in the promo shot, when the show airs. :(

First thing I thought of when I saw that on set shot, is that he looks similar to a young Bruce Campbell. :D
 
They sort of had to add him in I suppose, got a little hokey how his appearances were out of focus or in the distance in series one. You can buy it once but it got comical.

Looks a lot better in that pic. Dunno about the boots and the way the cape joins, but whatever.

Season 2 synopsis has been released:

"Kara has left the safety of being Cat Grant’s assistant in order to figure out what she really wants to do, while as Supergirl she continues to work at the DEO., protecting the citizens of National City and searching for Jeremiah and Cadmus. Along the way, she will team up with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) to battle new villains, as she strives to balance her personal life with her life as a superhero."

Nothing we didn't already know/guess TBH.
 
Liked Supergirl I don't quite get all the girl power and teen stuff though but then again I watched the entire season 1 in one go and the last crop of episodes had things moving and better.

I do like how they are well into the DC and superman universe already, they hinted already at 'Lobo' the alien bounty hunter who has already popped up in the universe, you had maxima, then you have Brainiac 8 or indigo played by vandervoort the original supergirl from smallville, I actually found her costume and design too similar to x-mens mystique. I also liked how they teased clark and superman constantly, yeah we can't get a proper Superman or Batman or A class hero show but this is the next best thing!

Still its not quite like smallville and so teeny I felt, Jon Jonezz and the rest of the superman mythos made it a nice show and supergirl is fitting into her role, I look forward to season 2 in October, and the arrow, flash and loT cross over !
 
I hadn't kept up with this and decided to give the latest episode a watch due to Superman curiosity.

Shows still a bit pap, tween angst and all but I was pleased with the refreshing cheery take on Superman which has been missing for a long time. Not perfect but pulls it off convincingly. It seems weird Jimmy Olsen towering over Superman though :p

Thought it was quite good, liked the effects and the intro of Supes. One thing i was curious was will this not detract focus away from the main character?

Did anyone spot the slight mistake?

Kara's sister just called Clark by his name infront of everyone at base

Wasn't just that one instance tbh, all through the episode they were casually doing that in crowded offices and surrounded by people on the streets.

That first one could have just been a direction mistake (presumably they should have been in J'onn's office by the time they get to that part of the scene so it was only people already in on it instead of two steps past a geeking out agent) but the rest were just badly done.
 
Liked it. I hadn't been too impressed by the promo stills of Tyler Hoechlin, but have to say he did good. Liked the little nod to 1978 Superman when they mentioned Lex causing an earthquake in California
 
Lots of reports of the big cross overs between arrow, flash, legends of tommorow and supergirl.

Its nice to see the cross overs happening more, I will wait patiently till all 4 shows are over with and binge watch 100000 episodes again !

And freaking lol @ that comment the wizard is to blame for super girls non pierced ears
