Kara Fights Vartox in New Trailer For SUPERGIRL - "Her Story"
CBS has released an extended TV spot for Supergirl, and if features footage of Kara (Melissa Benost) fighting the villain Vartox (Owain Yeoman). I haven't seen the pilot series myself yet, but one of our writers has, and he wasn't very impressed. You can read his reaction to it right here. Like many of you, I was hoping that this series would be good, and even though the pilot episode may not be the greatest, I've heard that there's still potential that it could grow into something decent.
Supergirl will premiere Monday, October 26th at 8:30pm, before it moves to its regular time slot on Monday, November 2nd at 8:00pm.
SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret.
Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe Award winner Calista Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet’s former photographer, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), as her new art director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.
