Poll Six minute trailer of Supergirl posted, what do you think? (18 votes)

Looks awesome 11%
Looks okay 11%
Looks like Smallville 2 0%
Looks like a teen drama with powers 61%
Can't say, I'm confused... 17%

CBS just posted a six minute first look for their upcoming series. The show was produced by the same folks that made Flash and Arrow on CW. While a crossover could possibly happen, nothing is confirmed. Considering that neither Flash nor Arrow has acknowledged the existence of Superman and this trailer explicitly shows that he exists in the show we'll have to see.

Thoughts? Do you think it's going to be good or do you think it's going to be questionable?

Couldn't possibly be any worse than Man of Steel.

I'll give it a chance, but it looks like it might last a few episodes until it's cancelled mid-season. To be fair, it's only the pilot episode that was produced to see if CBS wanted to pick it up as a series--the regular episodes could be different.

Hot damn that looks like crap. I really did think that Man of Steel took itself waaay too seriously, but this just looks dumb.

Another crashing plane? Wasn't there one of those in Superman Returns?

And where's the John Williams score?

And if her calling is to confront the greatest evils that the world faces, then why doesn't she obliterate the White House?

Looks shite to me, but I'm old. male, bald and close to death. This is probably aimed at teen girls judging from the music score - they will probably enjoy it. Daredevil is more for my demographic.

Just another teenage drama with an annoying Supergirl attached to it just like Smallville was another teenage drama with an incompetent Superman attached to it.

I suppose it has potential if you're looking for superpowered, insecure teenage girls in their coming of age. I'm not, so I think it looks terrible.

iirc, she's older on Krypton, but takes longer to get to Earth. So she's older but arrives appearing a similar age/maybe younger

Sigh. Well can't expect much of super girl cause her character was always revolved around teen drama.

I actually think it doesn't look that bad at all. It's looks like they spent some money on it and it's geared toward the adolescent female teen audience. First episodes of practically any series usually are not well formed at all. I wasn't interested before but actually I am now. I'll definitely check it out.

I think Flash is great! But I realize I like it more than most, but the main thing I like about the show is that seems to really respect the history of Flash and I like how they go through his powers. I actually just reread some old Flash comics (Wally West included) and they borrow elements from both and seem to be going through his powers the same way. And Flash appears to have an underlying story between the lines that I think is pretty deep.

Arrow is another exceptional DC show.

I think Gotham is done very well as well.

A lot of knee jerk reactions criticizing DC lately.

It seems to be dangerously close to the SNL Black Widow movie skit:

I wasn't really impressed but like LJ said, I'll reserve judgement till I actually see the show. I will say it does look better than that horrid movie they did ages ago.

Appears to be standard tweeny-bop-drama stuff think I'll pass. Not really interested in Super Woman anyways so no loss I guess.
