DC along with CBS has greenlit the creation of a Supegirl series. DC is getting is down with their tv line up. However, will it be a Smallville or a Lois and Clark clone? I don't think it will, They're looking for a mature show that fits along with The Good Wife, Extant and many others that have similar atmosphere. But will it work? It might, for a couple of reasons.
Not Their First Rodeo:
CBS has proved they could do super powered shows. From The Flash in 1990 to The Hulk in 1978. Now granted The Flash only lasted a season. However, I considered that show a success, it gave us more that just the DC Trinity (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman). It also showed that DC had more characters to put out there for us to enjoy. The Hulk gave us 4 years of success. Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno gave us the serious struggle of being a monster. So if anyone can pull it off, CBS can.
New Villains:
There are so many villains that Supergirl actually deals with. From Lucy Lane, Bizarro Supergirl to Worldkillers and Silver Banshee. It will give us something different from the usual Luthor, Zod and Doomsday mess. I hope they don't put too much Kryptonite all over this show, we don't need another Smallville.
It's Not Superman:
I know Kal plays an important part in Kara's life. However, in this story it's not about the Last Son of Krypton, it's about the Last Daughter. I hope they will focus on her life and her life only. There's nothing wrong with cameos or references. It's a smart way to acknowledge and to pay homage to the universe that she belongs to. However, we need to leave her alone. We don't need Batman or Wonder Woman or any of the normal JLA to appear on this. This show is an opportunity to bring in the B, C, D list of heroes and villains. Arrow got it right, The Flash got it right. even Gotham is doing a good job. Follow their example......please!!!!!
