Wait, there is a
Bizarro-Girl? I thought there was only a Bizarro Superman.
Nah.
Legit Power Girl is better.
The New 52 version is a super intelligent, hyper-confident and occasionally aggressive--both sexually and martially--Kara.
She is like Cat and Supergirl combined. She is awesome.
I would LOVE to see Bernoist play her in a recurring capacity.
Finally caught up on every episode. As DC TV's favorite poster (as voted by StaticJam and TheOddOne), here are my thoughts:
Glad the series has found what to do with most of the actors, they still need a strong direction to go with the next 12 episodes but it's good the show is no longer just a weaker version of The Flash.
- All the characters were pretty aimless the first few episodes, but they quickly caught on to what makes them work.
- Cat Grant is the best. They figured out how to have an inspirational parental figure without just copying Joe on Flash. She channels her heart of gold through a mind of ice. It's fantastic.
- Hank Henshaw was just a boring villain in waiting until coming out as Martian Manhunter instead. It makes his scenes with Alex a lot more fun - as he clearly enjoys being more open if this episode's dialogue is any indication - opens up a bunch of storylines, and it can pretty much be the Supergirl and Martian Manhunter show in the way I hoped Flash would have Firestorm most of the time but then didn't.
- So we still have the real Hank Henshaw waiting in the wings. S2 Slade anyone? And M'gann would be great alongside Supergirl once she's established as there's some nice parallels between them.
- Jimmy is a great guy. I can't really say much else about him. He hasn't really shown any flaws. There were some comments about him gravitating around superheroes but I don't know if that's a flaw, he seems very solid in all circumstances.
- Toyboy is the lovesick loser and it's hilarious. Just give him S1 Laurel lines to read verbatim.
- Not sure where they're going with Alex but she's fun with Hank.
- So far the show's biggest weakness is villains. Weak casting is hurting. Laura Benanti is great at the emotional stuff but is not remotely intimidating. All the other villains except Livewire have been entirely forgettable, and Livewire wasn't fantastic just a competent actress with some great special effect ideas. Non is bland. MoS' Zod and Faora were scary.
- The show's best episode yet didn't even have Supergirl fighting a supervillain. It was the earthquake. Unless someone was causing them, I did hear them say "Major Disaster" and he does cause Earthquakes in the comics (against The Flash!).
- Red Tornado was the low point in his own episode. Why did they fail my Young Justice OG like that?
- Fight scenes are inconsistent. They often bite off more than they can choose. Less wire jumping, more striking with IMPACT.
Glad the series has found what to do with most of the actors, they still need a strong direction to go with the next 12 episodes but it's good the show is no longer just a weaker version of The Flash.

Most, if not all, major DC characters have a Bizarro counterpart. There's a whole Bizarro World.
I dont think they have enough pull with the network to put a busty woman with a boob window on during primetime
The character is more than her breasts and costume.
Be back in seven years, I need to read a lot of Wikipedia apparently.
You need pull for that? I thought you would get an automatic renewal for that.

What a terrible thing to say. She listenting.
I don't recall ever taking a vote. Anyways, get onto watching Gotham now.
Uggggggh after Fargo S2

Flash probably has the multiverse on lockdown.
The two scenarios I could see:
Galatea, but made by General Lane and Maxwell Lord, as a season-long villain.
Dream scenario: Flash crossover:
Kara, Alex and Hank travel to Central City after DEO equipment detects a Kryptonian presence. They arrive in time to find Barry fighting a superpowered blonde breacher in a white leotard and blue cape, with a red stone collar around her neck. Kara gets overzealous after getting close to their opponent, and the heroes are forced to retreat in order to calm her down.
Back at Star Labs, Jay tells them the breacher is Power Girl. On Earth 2, Kal-El never landed on Earth (snatched out of space by Darkseid and raised by him. Save that reveal for Legends of Earth 2.), and Kara was never trapped in the Phantom Zone. She became a wealthy tech CEO and one of Jay's superhero allies. Kara mentions that when getting near Peej, she felt a familiar electricty that reminded her of Kryptonite, but instead of physically weakening her, it fills her with rage.
The rest of the crossover is Cisco, Harry and Alex trying to create some device to neutralize the Red Kryptonite (placed by Zoom) and Flash, Supergirl and Martian Manhunter trying to subdue Power Girl.

Yeah, and the boob window is not going to make it to network TV.
No matter how many writers have poorly justified it.
then again Kat Dennings exists, or should I say did exist

it would totally work, just have Asshole Superman, he and Kara have a falling out and she just rips the shield off her uniform, bam Boob Window

So an upcoming guest star may have originally been meant as a different character, but ended up being changed due to rights issues. It's mostly speculation from a difference in cast lists, but interesting nonetheless.

Still does, no? Show hasn't been cancelled.
Yup. Best part of the show.
Since Season 1 she has lost weight
Oh; well, we can't blame CBS for that.
We should still have hope for Power Girl. I'd be happy with any version of the character, no matter the costume
the "Destroying Red Tornado" score is just so damn good.

Caught up to the last episode. It's far better than I thought it would be, the characters are mostly very good, apologies to Cat, I thought she would suck, one of my favourites and Supergirl comes out with great reactions "What Planet are you from!?" "Ummm, this one".
The enemies do suck so far which is probably my only knock against it but like other shows hopefully they learn for later episodes.

That is a bit dull compared to the three other Berlanti shows.
That tells me absolutely nothing

Some interviews mentioned that J'onn would shapeshift into Supergirl at some point soon.
