Apparently they do. Constantine has full access to Mystic DC.

Not bad if CBS provides them with a larger budget than CW. Her powers on a TV budget can be tricky.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Being canonically the distaff counterpart and actually being one aren't the same thing.
Its just Superman in girl-form.

I hope they just say screw it and allow the TV universe(s) to reference stuff like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
Don't need direct appearances but since they say over and over again the universes are separate what does it matter?

I'm in. I wouldn't mind that.
Eh. I wouldn't mind if they Vandervoort back, she was great on Smallville, but now she might be too old. What's Heard been in?
I bet you she'll show up on NBC's Constantine.
She was in Rum Diaries, can't recall what else.

I thought she made a really good Kara. I think she's about 29 now.
It would be kinda cool if Molly Quinn got to do Supergirl in live action (she's voiced her before), but she'd be too young.

maybe I worded it poorly, but I'm saying you could have had an interpretation of the character where she's not just "girl Superman." A chance to build a fictional universe where the only Superman is Kara. There is no Clark. That would have been interesting to see, and even more interesting that the second live action interpretation of the character be one where she is the most powerful being in her fictional universe, and other characters inhabiting that universe acknowledge and look to her the same way they looked to Clark.
However that's all moot anyway because the synopsis makes direct reference to being Superman's Cousin so bleh.

On TV? Hidden Palms and The Playboy Club.
In movies she was in Machete Kills, Rum Diary, Drive Angry some other movies.

"Known" by whom? It sounds like she's keeping it hidden from the public when the series starts.
And I never read that anything about the "new" origin/premise.
I'm sure Berlanti and co. entertained the idea. And then the execs also asked, "Where's Superman?"
Supergirl is "me too"ing Superman basically.

I don't think there will be any Clark Kent in this. I think that's just for people's knowledge that she was Superman's cousin. Hopefully she's the only hero here and isn't playing second fiddle to anyone.
Yeah, but at that point, unless it actually does tie into MOS-verse, why is Superman worth mentioning if we don't see him? Just weird, I guess. Comics.

Man, i love that i live in this day and age. All those comic book movies and tv shows taking over. Just a decade ago we had pretty much just smallville on tv (i´m probably forgetting something, but you get the idea).
Loving it.

Awesome! I was kind of hoping for a Supergirl, Flash, Arrow crossover, but it's fine either way. Hyped.

Oh boy I can't wait for cape shit to just completely bombard tv like it has summer movies.
Also it's another series that dances around a big hero (Superman). It's hard to believe that twenty years ago we had a Superman (Not young Clark) television show that had homeboy in costume every week. I suppose the film series tanking helped with that. The second L&C started flailing in the ratings WB put Superman Lives into production.

Cape shit is awesome.
Except for the part where Supergirl is one of DC's most beloved characters among women and men.
The idea that some like to spout that "off shoot" heroes - be they women or black or what have you - are somehow not people want flies immediately of all that actual people in those groups saying very plainly "Yes, I do like that."
I think the problem is there are few popular female heroes who aren't
And could go obscure, but then if it fails (see Birds of Prey) just pushes everything back.
Granted if Supergirl fails... that's also gonna be an issue.

Nah. In small doses it's ok but I don't need that shit all over my tv.
Well technically, Supergirl would be the first character to wear an actual cape!
If you aren't reading any of DC's current Superman books, you're missing out. Superman, Action, Batman/Superman, and Superman Unchained are some of the best stuff they're putting out.

+1 (unchained's pacing is a little weird)
So I take it it has gotten better. Action Comics started out strong but lost me pretty quick. I like the H'el arc in Superman. Haven't read Unchained yet.

I'd take a series/movie based on
over even Batman any day.
Supergirl spinoff.

I thought she made a really good Kara. I think she's about 29 now.
She is also Bitten now.
Playing a lead Werewolf on the show Bitten. Not sure if she has the time to be the main character on 2 shows.
Action shaped up once Greg Pak took over in issue 25. He's also writing Batman/Superman, and hit the ground running there. Unchained is good, but the pacing is weird like Sibersk Esto said. Geoff Johns took over Superman with issue 32, and it's been good so far.
I hear tales that Superman/Wonder Woman is also worth your time, but I couldn't get into it.

Do it!
I'm one of the few (in my experience) Superman/Wonder Woman supporters even though I haven't read any S/WW stories outside of what is seen in the JL series.

I better see Man of Steel levels of destruction and badassery in the fight scenes
Is Bitten any good even? I feel like she's too good for that.

On a TV budget, breh?
Just hope it doesn't look like Smallville or Lois and Clark.

Smallville's effects were ok in the later seasons but yea, they were generally crap. L&C was always god awful. Especially the flying scenes.

I think Nathan Fillion voiced Vigilante.
You're going to get your one slow motion scene per episode and you're going to like it!

Man I still remember Helen Slater as Supergirl. Was in love when I was a kid. Hope they don't mess up the casting and being on CBS hope the production value is pretty decent.

If this comes to fruition, I may have to give the network ONE more shot...

Person of Interest is one of the best shows on TV.
They've earned enough goodwill from POI to get me to tune in.
