Supergirl TV Show

Thanks to one of the many geeky newsletters that I subscribe to I learned that a new trailer for the upcoming TV show Supergirl was released. I figure that it is time to put my two cents in on this. There have been several people that have told me they are surprised I hadn’t already done a blog post about it. I had considered waiting until the pilot, but since they released another trailer…

First Look

I think I was excited after seeing the first trailer. Everybody seems to be giving it a lot of grief because of how girly it is at the beginning. I will say that I was a little put off by this too, at first. My mind was quickly changed when she saved the plane. It gave me goosebumps. Give me some popcorn and wine. I’m intrigued, and ready to watch.

Outfit

Did you really think I could pass up the opportunity to talk about her clothes? I actually really love the suit. They didn’t go overboard or try to do anything fancy and out of the ordinary. The thigh-high boots. OMG. Yes! For those of you who don’t know, I’m soon retiring my current cosplay of Supergirl due to wear and tear. This versionmay be looked at for the next option. We’ll see… You didn’t really think I’d just never cosplay Supergirl again, did you?

How cool to see what is now, arguably my favorite superhero come to life on screen. The thing that will be disappointing will be when they make the entire show as girly as the first thirty seconds of the preview. Just because she is a girl, Supergirl at that, does not mean that she has to be an airheaded damsel when she is not suited up. Please CBS, don’t ruin it. You have a lot of competition with the CW after Smallville, Arrow, and Flash. Give us the heroine we have all been waiting for.

I know the pilot was leaked, but I’m holding off for the debut on Monday, Oct. 26. Will you be watching the new show this fall? What are your thoughts on the previews so far? What superhero stories would you like to see turned into a show or movie? Leave a comment below! Don’t forget to subscribe!
