The opening of this is a cheesy sci-fi tale that morphs into The Devil Wears Prada.
Interesting.
I don't really like that Superman is in this. I wanted Kara to be the Superman of this world. That would have been far more interesting.

Think of it as an alternate reality. Something that comic books are well known for.

It's kinda mixed for me. I'll watch the first 2 episodes just to see if I want to continue watching it.
If you want to throw out all the comic shows in development
I believe Goyer is working on a Krypton TV show.
There's DMZ
Hourman is rumored
Cloak and Dagger for ABC Family is one that is constantly in the background
The X-Men TV show if they can ever work it out with FOX
Chew.. is a constant
Oh and there's Powers on PSN

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Thank you!
I can understand chaning the name, but why that? Unless the team is going to be Nightwing, Robin, Hawk, Dove, and Northwind.

Looks worse than I thought. Glad some of you guys seem to think it looks good though.

Water is not wet!
If it moves at a fast pace and what is in this trailer happens in the first couple episodes, this looks great. If it moves slow, no thanks.

You're right. Her sister is also female so the show is definitely for girls. It's basically like The L Word but with Superman making a cameo in S2: E1.

They should of just showed the last half of the trailer to be honest.

Why are the DC live action shows more kiddy than the animated ones though?
Have you seen Teen Titans Go?

That dialogue... I can't do it.
Think it's gonna be a hit though. Obligatory spotty CG aside, the show looks surprisingly slick and expansive.

I'm almost 100 percent certain that 6 minutes only covers the pilot, and the pilot alone.

That hit Full House-levels of cringe, which I didn't think was possible these days.
Not sure how I felt about the trailer. I mean you take out the supergirl stuff and it basically seems like a trailer for any rom-com. Not saying every comic book show has to be the same and be all dark and gritty, but it just seems like two totally different shows put into one. So I'm interested to see how they are able to mix it all and hopefully find a good balance.
I do like Kara though, so that's definitely a good start. Calista Flockhart's character on the other hand seems terrible. I hope being a stereotypical stuck-up jerk boss isn't all there is to that character, because that will get old real fast. So yeah, I'm going to check it out and hopefully it will surprise me, but I wouldn't be shocked if it all just doesn't work and the show isn't very good.

Doesn't look too bad at all.
I can just picture someone using Kryptonite on her kicking her ass, then the stinger comes in and here comes Oliver. Or the same with Barry, which is probably more likely if they do the crossovers I'd guess?

There's a very good chance that this trailer is pretty much the entire pilot.

I wasn't sure I would like her as Supergirl. Seeing her in action was pretty convincing though. She looks awesome. Might just watch this.
It's just...a weird choice. Kara is his cousin. He can't call her or deliver that cape himself? Would have been better to just leave Superman out.
Beyond the hiccup, I loved what I saw.

I'm really happy. Love the Flash and Arrow and this seems up that alley.

Exception to the rule. Consider Superman & Batman TAS
This show is wayyy too perky...
Also, the Teen Titans animated series went to some rather dark places
Kind of wish Superman didn't exist though, Kara will forever be in his shadow and angst about it
One thing they should take from Man Of Steel, no Kryptonite but her weakness is Krypton's atmosphere so they would have to gas her or lock her in a gas chamber of sorts

Yeah I liked what I think was the original idea of Superman not existing at in the shows universe. Would've been more interesting I think.
It also makes the whole sisters name being a version of Lex and Jimmy being on the show less odd in general.

there's some good scenes (actual powered villains) and cringe worthy scenes
first scene airplane already. I would have thought they build up to it

They probably want to hold off on having him show up to make his eventual arrival more of an event. But you're right, using him sparingly but directly would be more elegant and make more sense than using Jimmy as a constant middleman for his sage advice.

lol, that department of extranormal operations guy was extra lame.
Music at the end was awful.
Benoist looks like a ton of fun. Girl's got charm up the wazoo.

The last we heard from Geoff Johns on the issue is that Superman and Batman would not be on TV for the forseeable future since they're in the movies.

this could be a year or two removed from Arrow and Flash debut.
what kind of logic is that? good lord ,some of you....
you two just couldn't wait to be heard? come on, at least give it an honest chance.
that didn't seem to confirm anything. just that it's a title they are thinking of.

Cancelled.
They can't cameo to build hype for said movies/crossover movies?
