Add another comic-brought-to-life to your channel-surfing agenda. CBS has green-lit the “Supergirl” television series for this Fall. DC Comics character Supergirl is Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El. On the show she’ll be challenged mastering her superhuman abilities and navigating the day-to-day world. Not too groundbreaking in that regard, but looking at the 6+ minute trailer above, CBS is sinking major chips into the hero party. So there better be a huge crowd (e.g. TV audience) tuning in to see the show. Heard good things about the other comic-based shows – The Flash and [Green] Arrow on The CW, even Daredevil on Netflix. However, Supergirl has to be much bigger; (at least) be on par with Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – on rival major broadcast network ABC. We will see. But for now… see the trailer.

(And before someone brings up Gotham on Fox… Sure, it’s based on DC’s Batman; but that’s a pre-Batman story. Doesn’t count yet.)

Kara’s boss is a slim hottie with a tight li’l body. Interesting twist.

Super-Cousin already has Pulitzer-winning press and photo coverage…

…a la the familiar Jimmy… er… James Olsen. Something different about that guy (wink).

Kara has human family on Earth, like her cuz.

Yooo! Nice fits (whew)!!

Okay, upgraded.

Of course, the cape is good…

…until the bullets start flying!

Well, the cape’s a maybe; but yes to the boots. YES!

No Fortress of Solitude, but the shadowy government department facility ain’t no punk though.

Good luck, Supergirl!
