REPORTS SAY DC ARE DEVELOPING A SUPERGIRL TV SERIES
The Flash might not be the fastest person on TV for long.
4 SEP 2014 BY ADAM DILEO
Second Update:
In a follow-up interview with Comic Book Resources, Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash) has confirmed that he is at work on a Supergirl series, but says that they are not yet pitching to networks as was previously reported.
"We're just starting to work on it," Berlanti told the outlet. "We haven't gone to the networks yet, so. I'll be happy, very excited to talk about it once we know where its home will be and that kind of stuff, but not at this moment."
Originally, it was reported that writer/producer Michael Green was at work on the series, which was not expected to go to the CW. That door now seems open, though it is as yet unclear where, if anywhere, the Supergirl series will land.
First Update: Deadline have also now reported on the potential Supergirl series, but contradict the earlier stories saying that Michael Green was behind the project, stating that he has no involvement. However, they do say Supergirl is in active development, with Greg Berlanti, one of the executive producers of Arrow and The Flash, involved, teamed with Ali Adler (Chuck, The New Normal, Glee). Berlanti and Adler previously worked together on No Ordinary Family. Deadline also notes DC's Geoff Johns is expected to be involved and that it "will be a new interpretation of the the Supergirl character and her story."
It's expected that the Supergirl series will be shopped to the networks by WBTV in the weeks to come - the same process that resulted in FOX nabbing the much sought-after Gotham.
One eyebrow-raising part of Deadline's story reads "The Supergirl show doesn’t have a name yet. I hear the producers are considering several options that need to be cleared, including Super and Girl."

CBS Says Supergirl/Flash/Arrow Crossover Unlikely
CBS President of CBS Nina Tassler gives updates on a potential Supergirl crossover with CW's Flash and Arrow, plus why it's good for CBS.
12 JAN 2015 BY ROTH CORNET
As CBS moves forward with the Supergirl series they have in development, fans have been wondering if Kara will exist in the same universe as The CW's Arrow and The Flash. CBS co-owns The CW and executive producer Greg Berlanti is behind all three series, so it seemed a natural fit.
CW president Mark Pedowitz said he was open to a cohesive universe between the three and Berlanti said that in putting himself in the mind of a viewer that he would want to see that. Adding, "But we have to get so many things right to make a good show and so much of it is luck, unfortunately."
At today's TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, Presdent of CBS Nina Tassler seemed less inclined to join forces with the already-existing series. "Well, those two shows [The Flash and Arrow] are on a different network," Tassler said. "So I think we'll keep Supergirl to ourselves for awhile."
As far as who may step in to play the iconic character, Tassler said, "When you've got a brand like that, it'd be great to have somebody new."
One question that's been asked repeatedly is: What makes Supergirl a good fit for CBS?
To that, Tassler cites her role in the development of Lois and Clark for ABC. "These are human dramas," she reflected. "And in terms of the public, there are so many superheroes portrayed in film. And there's been an evolution in regards to the way they are portrayed. They have humanity, they're flawed."
As far as Supergirl herself is concerned, Tassler describes the character as "infinitely relatable" and the show a "great adventure" series. The network head says it was the pitch that ultimately sold them on the series.
"It's a wonderful amalgamation of the mythology of the character with a coming of age tale," she explained. "She's a very strong, independent young woman and she's coming into her own. She's dealing with family issues. She's dealing with work issues. And it's a female-empowerment story, which if you look at the strong female characters we have on the air, it really is resonate to that."
We will keep you updated as details on the Supergirl series emerge.

CBS' Supergirl Casting Jimmy Olsen, Cat Grant and Others
By Matt Webb Mitovich / October 31 2014, 8:54 AM PDT
On the heels of sharing details about the casting for Supergirl‘s titular heroine and her foster sister, TVLine now has the scoop on four other series-regular roles to be filled on the drama, which already has a series commitment from CBS.
CAT GRANT | The project is eyeing females in their 40s, open ethnicity, to play the founder of CatCo, a media conglomerate that Cat built from the ground up. Kara (Supergirl’s mild-mannered alter ego) will work as a personal assistant to Cat, who is described as “J.Lo by way of Anna Wintour.”
JAMES OLSEN | In his late 20s/early 30s, open ethnicity, James is a smart, worldly and (duh) attractive photographer for CatCo. Though an alpha male, his salt-of-the-earth nature elicits a huge ol’ crush from Kara.
WINSLOW ‘WYNN’ SCHOTT | This twentysomething tech whiz/Comic-Con stalwart toils for CatCo as a programmer, unaware of his own (toying?) potential. Unware of her secret, he carries a torch for Kara, whom he lives next door to.
HANK HENSHAW | As an upstart CIA agent, Hank grew obsessed with intergalactic intel. Now in his 40s and lording over the DEO (Department of Extra-Normal Operations), he is on high alert when Supergirl reveals herself, worried that her otherworldly abilities pose a threat to humankind.
The Supergirl pilot was penned by Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family) and Greg Berlanti (Arrow), both of whom will exec-produce alongside Sarah Schechter (of Berlanti Productions) and Warner Bros. TV.
Look, up in the sky — it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… your cue to dream-cast!

Supergirl: First Character Breakdowns Surface
Posted by: Craig Byrne, Editor-In-Chief October 30, 2014
Supergirl is in development for CBS from Executive Producers Ali Adler, Greg Berlanti, and Sarah Schechter, and TV Line has gotten a hold of the casting breakdowns for the pilot, which means the Girl of Steel (can we call her the "Woman of Steel" by now?) is closer than before.
Here's what we learned from the TV Line feature:
For Kara Zor-El, also known as Kara Danvers, the show is looking for Caucasian females between 22 and 26 to play 24. In this version of the story, Kara was sent to Earth from a dying Krypton at age 12. She was taken in by the Danvers family, who taught her to use caution with her amazing abilities. For more than a decade, Kara repressed using those skills, but then she had to use her abilities in public during an unexpected disaster. The TV Line breakdown says that Kara is energized for the first time in her life after that heroism, and she begins to embrace her abilities in the interest of helping the people of her city, getting a super-name along the way.
But that's not the only character being cast right now!Kara has an older foster sister named Alexandra "Alex" Danvers who is described as "gorgeous, brilliant, and science-minded." Growing up, Alex had some jealousy as well as fascination with her sister's abilities, which helped fuel her interest in alien anthropology, sociology, and culture. Alex works for a secret government organization. Not gonna lie, the letters "L-E-X" in her name make us a little nervous.
We are assuming that David Rapaport, who handled casting for Arrow and The Flash, will be doing this one as well. Any casting choices? Leave them in the comments! You can read the TV Line feature here.

CBS ORDERS SUPERGIRL SERIES
Kryptonian refugee Kara Zor-El will soar on CBS.
19 SEP 2014 BY MATT FOWLER
Once the only network staying out of the whole new massive comic book TV show arena, CBS is going all in with a new Supergirl show - which they've given an official series commitment to, bypassing both the "in development" and "pilot" stage.
Supergirl, a new one hour drama, will come to us from Berlanti Productions (both Arrow and The Flash on The CW) in association with Warner Bros. Television. Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler (Chuck, No Ordinary Family) will serve as writers, while also serving as EPs alongside Sarah Schechter.
Based on the characters from DC Comics, Supergirl will follow Kara Zor-El. Born on the planet Krypton, Kara escaped amid its destruction years ago. And since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.
So far, crossovers between the DC projects on other networks and The CW's Arrow and The Flash have seemed unlikely, but Berlanti's participation in Supergirl will certainly raise questions regarding whether or not this series could be connected to his other two DC shows.

She's very..... busty
Based on having watched "Superman: The Animated Series" & the "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse" direct to Blu-ray animated move, I just realized a "Supergirl" TV show would basically be a "
So you not gonna watch "Arrow" & "The Flash" either?
I don't even know who her supporting characters would be other than Ma & Pa Kent. At least I had already been introduced to Lana and Pete on "Superman: TAS" when I got into "Smallville".
