[Snaku]

Are they serious? That looks terrible.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Grant is great as The Flash but let's not pretend that the suit itself looks great.
It's literally the only thing that bothers me about the show.

There's no pretending, friend. It does look great.

 

[Jigorath]

Looks great. Classic design with a modern edge.

 

[y2dvd]

Costume is so bland.

 

[Currygan]

looks horrendous, lol

 

[Pachimari]

Honestly I see a grown up Ginny from Harry Potter in a Supergirl costume. It's not to critisize, it's just what I see and it ruins it for me.

I really hope this show turns out well.

 

[Tabby]

the foundation for changes are so easy and the fact that they've shown it will end up looking like the comics version puts me at complete ease

They've addressed it in the first episode so honestly even though I hate it I don't mind since I know they'll be evolving the suit overtime like Arrow has.
But we're getting off topic now, back to talking about Supergirl!

 

[SoilBreak]

Her New 52 costume and is better, and sexier.But I dont't think it translates well to Live Action ):

Da hell? Her New 52 costume is trash.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

I don't understand gaf anymore

 

[tim1138]

So happy with the decision to have her wear tights under the skirt. I never understood why a female flyer would willingly wear a tiny skirt as her costume.
The S shield looks a little off, but it could be worse.

 

[BadAss2961]

Not feeling it... At least not in those pics. Looks Man of Steel inspired, but it doesn't work here. The actress doesn't give me a Supergirl feeling either.

But hey, it's just a TV show that's clearly doing its own thing. This one isn't for geeks.

 

[lastplayed]

I like it, but will wait to see her in action before judging too much.

 

[Skux]

The "it's too dark" complaints perplex me because superhero movies and TV shows in general tend to go for darker or more subdued shades.

They're not going to use ultra bright shades in these suits, guys. And if they did, folks would probably complaint about that too.

Agreed. If they went bright it would look out of place in the real world.

And on top of that, the suit will look brighter in the show anyway because of the lighting.

 

[Cyberius]

Yep, that's Supergirl. That blue top/red skirt look is factually her best look and I think it looks pretty great here. Dark, but that's just the day and age we live in.

Approve.

 

[SpideySenses]

She looks amazing, I can't wait.

 

[KalBalboa]

Looks OK. I can't imagine this show will be a hit though.

 

[NastyBook]

I like it. Fuck them boots, though.

 

[Schweinehund]

The lack of yellow in the shield really hurt it

That's my thought as well.

 

[Oregano]

Not sure how you can say that with The Flash currently on the air and going all out up to and including Time Travel.

 

[hal9001]

Shrunk in the wash.

 

[MrKnives]

Not a fan of the skirt.

These would have been much better. The one in the bottom right is fabulous. With different proper coloring.

 

[Schweinehund]

Not sure how you can say that with The Flash currently on the air and going all out up to and including Time Travel.

Time travel is casual.

Name dropping Speedforce is some geek level stuff.

Spoiler

Hope they eventually elaborate on it

 

[Dennis]

another.. not by me.

Not bad.

 

[The Purple Pill]

How old is she supposed to be in the new show? She looks older than what we would describe as, "Super Girl".

Would have been nice if they showcased 2-3 different costumes, one of which being more "Kryptonian"


Using the outer cape/coat layer of this, and then perhaps using the same suit style as Man of Steel?

 

[Loxley]

Aside from the leggings, I like it. It's simple and classic - and I dig the take on the \S/ symbol. Looking forward to seeing it in motion.

 

[Delta Assault]

The red skirt and boots remind me of the awful fruit-rollup looking cape from Superman Returns.

 

[anaron]

Looks OK. I can't imagine this show will be a hit though.

seriously?

 

[Oregano]

Time travel is casual.

Well I went with Time Travel because the Speedforce is just a name drop for now(as you mentioned).

 

[JC Lately]

Not bad. Between this and The Flash, I’m glad the era of ‘no flights, no tights’ is long behind us.

But CBS hates Hulu for some reason so I’ll never see it.

 

[HoodWinked]

this isnt even as good as some cosplayers.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The skirt is tacky and she looks like a goober. Not a fan.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Photo needs more light.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Damn. If this is really the opinion of Melissa Benoist than maybe I've been overvaluing broads like her. I got a chance.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

She looks... plain?

 

[SliceSabre]

Yea that's uhhh... a supergirl costume.

I don't know what I was expecting I'm just surprised its so...normal?

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Don't care for either the actress or costume.

 

[Hamlet]

Looks ok.

 

[PirateKing]

Is this in Arrow and Flash universe?

 

[C4Lukins]

This is CBS. Nobody should be excited about this. They have created maybe two good shows in the last 30 years that are not 60 minutes or reality television. They even make the NFL unwatchable. And that outfit looks like Supergirl is premoting a gas station on her chest.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Don't like the skirt. Doesn't really work IRL.

 

[Ganzlinger]

I don't know what to think...

And the actress looks like she's 30.

 

[quesalupa]

Way more traditional than I thought they would go for. I'm kinda neutral on this.

 

[KDash31987]

I like it. Can't wait for the show.

Meh, they should have gone with her instead

I love Enji Night, and I'm sure that you probably weren't being serious, but still...no. She has no acting experience, and a very thick accent.

 

[Dysun]

Not crazy about the actress or suit. Looks a bit ho-hum

 

[Fudgepuppy]

"I wonder how they will move from the goofy concept of Supergirl? Making her costume more practical and modern would probably do it"

*Sees images*

"..."

Everyone I've told "They're making a Supergirl-show" to, has started chuckling. Among everyday people, "Male superhero turned into girl with boobs and skirt" is outdated and a pretty good way to alienate a lot of viewers.

I'm interested in the show, but please, give her a better costume in the future.

 

[Jigorath]

If people think Melissa Benoist looks ugly then the human race clearly has some very high standards.

 

[Froli]

Ugh this is the right thread. <confused myself with the other one>
anyway

I don't like the belt line and the S emblem. It looks so cheap

Just gonna post my obligatory "use some variation of this costume" pic

This is wayyyyy much better.

 

[BadAss2961]

Not sure how you can say that with The Flash currently on the air and going all out up to and including Time Travel.

Its not just that it's TV. This show appears to be doing its own thing with the IP and the characters, not following canon as closely as Arrow and Flash. It's fine, I just don't think fanboys are part of the target audience for this one.

 

[C4Lukins]

She is amazing. That outfit and photo are not.

 

[SpideySenses]

Yep, there was a line in Whiplash insulting her looks which I found ridiculous at the time, guess not.
