The thing I like best about the previews is that Kara is smiling all the time.

If I had all those powers, I sure be laughing a lot. Too many scowls in all the superhero shows lately (The Flash being the exception).

The following is all my opinion:

Guy superheros don’t run around blabbering about their maleness... Until writers get it that self introspection about what is between your legs is not part of the draw to watch a super hero show/movie... they will continue to fail to make a widely appealing female lead super hero show. From what I’ve seen from the previews, supergirl falls into the same old trap. Spends more time worrying about the fact she is female (one of billions) than about the fact that she is a Kryptonian (one of less than a dozen left?)

If they want to see a model of how to do a strong female character and do her right, look at Carol from the walking dead. She was the MVP in last nights walking dead episode, was believable (as far as that goes in a zombie apocalypse show) and showed up several men without making it a war of the sexes type encounter. I cracked up laughing when she walked by the prisoner two guys had spent time to carefully tie up and gave him a head shot without breaking stride. She was taking care of business, not waxing philosophical about the role of women/privilege/other special interest group.

Time spent making a social statement and parroting the SJW talking points is time not spent taking it to the bad guys... The greatest way to show you are equal is to be confident enough not to be insecure about it.

The pilot was leaked onto the Internet several months ago.

It was so-so, far from spectacular. It might last one season, but I doubt it. The pilot lacked any significant appeal.

I hearing they may introduce Power girl in future episode give it a time remember Powergirl is Superman and Supergirl cousin

She’s nowhere near as hot as Laura Vandervoort.

There is at least a couple reasons why "Wonder Woman" wasn't canceled in its 1st season.

What you’re talking about is the difference between showing and telling. The zombie flick woman “showed” and that’s what captures viewers. But having somebody preach (telling) is pure propaganda. One of the reasons I gave up watching TV, back in the ‘90’s, was the liberal agenda came across loud and clear, usually in a narrative dump.

Yeah, but for theme music, you can't beat Electra Woman and Dyna Girl!

Hi, I'm Backwoods Engineer, and I watched Electa Woman and Dyna Girl as a kid!

so wonder woman was a flop before it aired.

this is now a flop too.

The idiots who write this stuff have no concept of language. There are gender based words. (ie heroine)

This is how to fix DC comic. FIRE ALL excutives and writers. MOVE all operations out of NYC’s vicinity or ANYWHERE near California. Sell it all to Disney.

Vandervoort was unusually hot but her character was not well done.

There seems to be a lot of Dutch living in the Vancouver area where “Smallville” was made. Kristin Kreuk was also half Dutch.
