my thoughts are it will be like all other hero shows, smallville and arrow etc they are all the same, yes arrow can be darker than smallville at times but they all look exactly the same and often look too cheap specially the sets.
Personally I hope its nothing as campy as smallville was and is more darker like arrow.
BUT I just hope to god they don't have whimpy storylines or stupid villains as they usually do with female superheros
hell look at the state of that wonderwoman pilot they cancelled lol it was horrid
yea I agree with you mark I think the tone of Arrow or an older series like 90's vampire series Forever Knight.Yea that Wonder woman pilot was bad lol-where in UK you from?I'm also from there
shareTo be honest, I am VERY skeptical. Supergirl is one of my most favored films, and the [original] character is the only comic character I ever followed. Thusly i'm taken aback at first hearing the news. I think some dedication to the character is due for the past 20 yrs since they decided not to follow the original up with a sequel, never mind that flops and loathed films of the comic book nature today find sequels and anthologies with other like characters from the Brand that produced them in the first place. .
But moreso, Supergirl is a character that has been revamped by DC and the WB on a lot of excruciatingly bad levels, and figuring out where to put this character is going to be tough no matter how they approach it. This concept is up against a very BAD audience who, mostly hear how awful the film was (IT WASN'T), and might be expecting Elektra, or that wretched variation so-called Kara in the Smallville cannon. They have also had "Heroes" and the Superhero films of today turning fun heroics with good messages into emo crap with useless, sadistic emphasis. If they're going to bring any version of SupesyG on TV, PLZ let it be the original character who was Supes cousin, she was the ONLY real Supergirl.
As for an actress of choice. I'd say an unknown foots the Bill. ANY ONE already established will not work. We are in a day and age where Superhero shows and films are simple products of the times, and to bring about a show as such, it has to be treated special. I don't think anyone can really do that. I wouldn't trust anyone working today to do that, because they can't. Sure, follow the formula and put some great veterans of TV and film on as guest stars, reoccurring characters and whatnot, but the actress for the actual title role had better be good.
Greg Berlanti has put out some terrific stuff, but for Supergirl, he had SERIOUSLY better know what to do with it, how to treat her right. Time will tell.
Until then...
When will you ever learn, this feeling is all you can discern?
BansheeCreature I hear what your saying, you say that about super hero's for film or TV but Ben Affleck is playing Batman is Batman VS Superman film +Hayley Atwell who had been in well known things before she was in Captain America film and will now be in here own series Peggy Carter
sharetbh the only good thing about the supergirl in smallville the fact she was on earth way way way longer than clark was
shareYea Mark you do have a point there and did like the fact that she was on earth before superman but that wasn't the case in the film version was it?? not sure- so where in UK you from Mark you didn't respond to your other message lol
shareno not in the film version but the film version didn't exactly follow the comic books where as smallville did when it came to how long she was on earth
