Inspired, Kara decides to emulate her cousin's superheroic ways, only to find her foster sister introducing her to the secret Department of Extra-Normal Operations, dedicated to fighting alien menaces including those Kara inadvertently led to Earth. Now with such help, the Maid of Might takes her placeEarth's newest champion with new friends and enemies challenging her world.
The adventures of Superman's cousin in her own superhero career.
Keep in mind that some shows take a while to find themselves. Arrow had the same problem during its first season. Just give the show some time before making any drastic judgements.<br/><br/>If there's one things that the pilot has shown us, it's that the CW should handle all DC related TV. They clearly know what they're doing, what with Arrow, Flash and iZombie. CBS already failed with the 1990 version of the Flash, and if they don't do something they're going to kill Supergirl before the show gets a chance to get off the ground. <br/><br/>The pilot is cheesy, and ya there are plenty of screw ups, but the overall feel for the show is good. Again, just give the show some time. It may get better, it may get worse. The only way to find out is to watch and hope for the best. And at the end of the day, this still wasn'tbadMan of Steel. <br/><br/>I know this is a rare female lead in a superhero show; but does female empowerment need to be referenced continually? Why can we not have a Ripley or a Sarah Connor where gender is secondary to a character fulfilling a role? 6/10
The adventures of Superman's cousin in her own superhero career. <br/><br/>Supergirl is the latest DC Comics adaptation from producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg. Taking a page from The Flash and Smallville before it, the series also seeks to establish via Kara's origin tale a deeper mythology and an excuse for Earth to be populated by various super-beings. Supergirl arrived late in the booklet of comic book super-heroine that emerged after Wonder Woman in 1941. Though in the 60s she was a supporting player in the Superman family of titles. Until getting her first dedicated series in 1972. She has seen some reboots, pushed by publishers to diversify themselves. Did you know there's now a female Thor? A female Hawkeye and Spider-Gwen? This introductory hour holds closely to that pair producer's formula for The Flash, elevating an adorable Glee cast (there Grant Gustin, here Melissa Benoist) to a costumed-icon status. I'm glad Supergirl exists and I really want it to succeed. It's more than fine with me if it never becomes more than a solid superhero genre show with a female lead - especially since that lead is fantastic. <br/><br/>Although Melissa Benoist is not unknown (especially to Glee viewers - like me - who made it past season 3) she's one of those rare casting miracle. She nails the title role: handling very well her dual role, it creates hope for the show going forward. Perfect casting. Her performance embraces, internalises and sells the character's contradictions and paradoxes. Melissa makes Kara feels real, she wears the costume proudly and easily while embodying joy and complexity all at once. Moreover, Calista Flockhartthe central character media mogul boss, Cat Grant, gives the show a Devil Wears Prada vibe. The first super-heroic act is a plane rescue that vaguely echoes the original Christopher Reeve's Superman. As in that movie there's a scene of exultation in which Kara explores her powers after so many years trying to blend in and be normal. A central idea in Superman's origin is that he is super not because of his powers, but because of the character cultivated by his parent. Here we're introduced to the Danvers, scientists and former TV show Superman father Dean Cain. <br/><br/>Knowingly engages gender issues, including about the representation of women in pop culture. It's something rare: a superhero series that isn't about a superman. Indeed, writers smartly fit Supergirl's origin story to a very current feminist theme: that women must overcome being socialised to say sorry, o put themselves second or to efface themselves. Rather delivers its message with an enthusiastic bluntness that hearkens back to its comic roots. The name "Supergirl" is ultimately explained, seeking to deflect any charges of sexism about the "girl" designation. The most meta scene comes when Cat Grant coins this name and defends it to Kara , who tries to argue that perhaps "SuperWoman" would be a more appropriate and respectful name. "I'm a girl" says Cat, "and your boss and powerful and rich and hot and smart. So if you perceive "Supergirl"anything less than excellent, isn't the real problem you?". The argument she makes is debatable but worth having. Finally, Supergirl could be filling a shameful void after Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars. That needs to be followed by more contemporary properties such(hopefully) the upcoming Netflix series, Marvel's Jessica Jones. In a field long dominated by men, Supergirl provides a superhero roe model for girls and young women while symbolising values anyone could admire. "Can you believe it? A female hero. Nice for my daughter to have someone like that to look up to." Yes that is nice. Now we need more. <br/><br/>Overall, finding the right star and building a credible pilot are big parts of the battle. Thanks to those strengths if the producers can sustain the playfulness and action without going overboard, there's reason to believe this "girl" can fly.

Kara was sent in a separate escape pod from Kal-El. Her pod became stuck in the Phantom Zone, where time does not pass. After twenty four years her pod left the zone and arrived on Earth. Yes and No. Supergirl is in what is called the "Arrowverse". The "Arrowverse" is a group of shows that share continuity and who's characters interact with each other across the different shows. However within the "Arrowverse" the character of Supergirl is from a different universe and a different Earth then the characters in the rest of the shows. Within the "Arrowverse" there are multipule universes that are all slightly similar to each other in different ways. Most of the shows take place in what they call "Earth 1", Supergirl takes place in another "Earth", but can come visit "Earth 1". There are three long-running iterations of the Supergirl character, the first being the original Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin from Krypton, who died in the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, after DC Comics decided that Superman should be the sole Kryptonian survivor.<br/><br/>After continuity was rebooted, she was replaced by a protoplasmic, shapeshifter Supergirl also knownMatrix, created in another universe by that world's Lex Luthor. Matrix saved a girl named Linda Danvers and the two merged, becoming a new Supergirl. Linda eventually developed angelic powers, and after failing to save the original Kara Zor-El from her death, quit the Supergirl mantle.<br/><br/>After another DC universe reboot, the Kara Zor-El version of the character was re-introduced, and remains to this day.<br/><br/>Kara also has an Earth-2, more matured version of herself, Kara Zor-L/Power Girl. This is answered in season one episode sevenAlex confronts Henshaw about the death of her father, which she believes Henshaw may be responsible for. He reveals instead that he is not, in fact, the Hank Henshaw who had been her father's partner. Henshaw and Mr Danvers had been tracking an alien refugee with Henshaw intending to kill it. Danvers had tried to stop him and both ended up dead. Instead, the man who Alex knowsHank Henshaw is the alien they had been tracking: J'onn J'onnz, the last surviving Martian. <br/><br/>In the comics the character is knownthe Martian Manhunter and has been a long time member of the Justice League. Beginning in the late 1980s he was the group's leader at a time when they were sponsored by Maxwell Lord, who is an antagonist to Supergirl on the show. J'onn has powers which are similar to Superman's but also include shapeshifting (as seen in this episode) and telepathy.<br/><br/>His civilian identityHank Henshaw is a bit of misdirection, since Henshaw is a known Superman villain in the comic books. The ambiguous nature of the real Henshaw's death in the show leaves open the possibility that the character will return in something close to his comic book state. <br/><br/>In the comics, Henshaw first appearsthe commander of a space mission which encounters a burst of unusual stellar radiation. In a pastiche of the origin of the Fantastic Four, the crew begin undergoing strange changes, which eventually lead to the decay of all of their bodies. Henshaw manages to transfer his mind into the Lexcorp computers and is then sent into space when his consciousness begins interfering with Earth's communication systems.<br/><br/>In space, Henshaw becomes obsessed with revenge on Superman, who he blames for the death of his crew, including his wife. He next appears during the "Death of Superman" arc when Superman was believed killed by the monster Doomsday. At the time there were several beings who claimed to be a resurrected version of Superman. Henshaw had managed to recreate a body based on Superman's genetic code, but with cybernetic replacements for some body parts. He eventually gained recognitionthe "true" Superman, but it turned out that he was working in conjunction with the alien warlord Mongul. <br/><br/>
