The budget is too high.

I'm super hyped.
The CG is totally unrealistic, how can she descend like that without her skirt flying up?
Those legs though
*right click save*Money. They are a small network.
Not sure why people are caring so much about the music, it's only for the trailer.

I realize the budget probably wouldn't allow it, but I'd love for the season finale to have a battle like the ones in Man of Steel (Smallville/Metropolis). Just see Supergirl and CyborgSupes fucking cut loose and just fuck each other up.
Also hope they do better with the Cinematography. The trailer came off a bit bland, but other non-bog standard CBS shows like Person of Interest and The Good Wife have great cinematography, and Arrow and The Flash also do a bang-up job in that department.

Honestly, I can't believe how friggin' BEAUTIFUL that whole sequence was in Man of Steel.

Wait a tick, Supergirl is a "police procedural" with a superhero twist?

If the pacing moves as fast as Arrow and Flash, maybe they'll ditch that really quickly. Also, shows like Good Wife and Person of Interest did fantastic things with blending procedurals and serials.
And this is set in "National City" instead of Metropolis, which is... weird... is that supposed to be an analog for Washington?

The guy who wants to go out with her? Yeah he's Jimmy Olsenish. Maybe he's like....maybe he gets superzoned. I hope he does, I don't like him. He looks whiny.
They might not be allowed to use Metropolis. Also, the skyline is clearly LA.

That shit looks awful. Are they for real? Turn a superhero comic property into this mess. That music also reminded me of the Jem and the Holograms trailer again.
Of course! Who do you think her cousin is?

assuming you're comparing her to ally mcbeal...she looks ok but but she definitely looks her age when they do the close-up when she's making the supergirl/superwoman speech

I;m sorry to be the one to tell you, but every superhero series/story is a police procedural at heart
Ahaha...I doubt we'll be seeing anything beyond plastic barrels exploding in tv big fights.

Oops sorry. Yes I do get in a bit of a silly mood sometimes.
Yep. She looks her age in off camera photos though.

One would imagine that the trailer would evoke the aesthetic they're going for in the actual show, particularly in a 6-minute one.
The actual footage with her working with her "Devil Wears Prada"-like boss and curling up on the couch with her pillow evoked those piano keys in my head before they actually happened, though.

I didn't even realize they were thirsting over her. All I saw was an average looking girl without a lick of curves.

I need to see Supergirl punch CyborgSuperman through a building though.
Let's all just calm down, everyone...

The best thing so far has been ivy's FEMINISM! gif.
To call it a police procedural seems ridiculous. I don't think that there is a single detective or police officer in the entire trailer.
Will she be working with a secret government agency to solve problems created by superhumans? Well yes, obviously. Will there be a lot of downtime where she isn't performing superhuman feats that require a huge special effects budget? Well yes, obviously. At the same time, I doubt she is going to be doing everyday detective work or solving random crimes committed by normal human beings.
I don't see how it's a police procedural any more than Agents of Shield is. The scale of problems that she deals with is obviously going to be larger than those on Law & Order.

Eh? How is that any different than The Flash being a police procedural? It's kind of a stretch to call it that but I'm sure it'll be more in line with what The Flash is doing which isn't a problem at all.
The Flash is technically a cop show too.
Meta shows up, Barry tries to take him/her down. Can't comprehend powers, so he gets his butt kicked. Find clues to figure out how to counteract powers. Barry beats the meta with new invention or implementation of powers. Meta captured. Onto the next one.

There will be a lot of flashbacks, right ? please no, the only thing I really hate in Arrow.
No...?
Alright. I watched it 3 times. The first time gave me a headache and put me in a bad mood. Was bout to rage post here before seeing oddly positive reactions. The second time I isolated that it was the music that set me off in every instance. It's the stuff I'd rather turn the radio off than listen to in the car. The third time, I committed to watching it in some capacity. Whether that will turn into an enjoyable experience is yet to be seen of course. But I will give it a shot. Maybe I wait until episode 2 though since that was basically the entire pilot.
Where's that gif with the zoom in and head nodding bearded guy. That one. Not like, that has anything to do with anything I care about discussing though.
Why would there be? I'm sure there will be some but nothing about the show seems like it'd be having them like Arrow.

This looks like that fake ad for the Black Widow movie on SNL.
...
Which one, though? Both are amazing but if pressedT I'd have to pick #2 for that slow-mo swagger.

I show slow the first one down. I'm going to inappropriately interject the second one as much as possible.

Man who choose the songs, they're making the trailer worse than it actually is..

Number 2 is the best. It is the exploding feminism that does it....

Not bad. I'll set a season pass on my DVR once November rolls around.
I'm surprised somebody didn't alter your avy to look like Captain Cold.
Considering we had some amazing super fights on Flash, I can't imagine what amazing shit the SFX team can pull off with a bigger budget.I realize the budget probably wouldn't allow it, but I'd love for the season finale to have a battle like the ones in Man of Steel (Smallville/Metropolis). Just see Supergirl and CyborgSupes fucking cut loose and just fuck each other up.
Now imagine that being foreshadowing of CyborgSupes....
...wait, if they're going with this route, why the hell isn't the Question getting his own show?
That will probably propel him to become Toy Man.

I'm not impressed. Isn't Supergirl a hot head and the complete antithesis of Clark/Superman?

I'm super hyped.
"Oops, wrong truck!"
Yes, she is. She is also a bubblehead sugar candy pop all-american cheerleading school girl that started to grow a temper when Wonder Women and Superman got more involved in her life.... and when she got cloned.

Rewatching the trailer again and I am really happy this turned out as well as it did. Sure, the whole Devil Wears Prada thing seems shallow and we'd all preferred if she did something with more depth but it seems fun overall.
Get hyped.
And yeah, the whole "cousin" thing is getting annoying but I'm just excited we apparently have Supes in the Arrowverse.

I like that we now have Krytonians confirmed for the DCTVerse
And we got a hint that Hal Jordan/Green Lanterns are apart of the DCTVerse in the previous Flash episode (one of Ferris' test pilots disappeared, causing it to be shut down. Obvious reference to Hal Jordan, who became a green lantern after testing a plan)
The DCTVerse and the DCCU are 100% unrelated to the point where they have a completely different actor for Flash. It's actually a really stupid move for DC, who is trying to play catch up with Marvel.
