Kevin Smith Recreated Famous Supergirl Scene with Silent Bob for SUPERGIRL Cast and Crew Gift
Kevin Smith recently wrapped production of his Supergirl season two episode, "Supergirl Lives." As a gift for the cast and crew, the filmmaker had a t-shirt made up for everyone that recreated the iconic Crisis on Infinite Earths cover art that featured Superman holding Supergirl, only in this version Silent Bob has amusingly stepped in the place of Superman. Smith said on Facebook:
"This is the wrap gift t-shirt I gave to all the @supergirlcw cast and crew member who made my episode. Now having worked on both #Supergirl and @cwtheflash, I can equate the experience to making both a sfx extravaganza AND an indie flick at the same time: you have the talent and tools of a big budget movie but the time of a low budget flick.
"Most of the folks who work on these shows COME from feature films and do work you'd normally see in feature films - but do it in only 8 days. So it feels natural to celebrate the end of our journey the same way we wrap movies: with a free, commemorative t-shirt! Drawn by the always amazing @jeffquigley, we crib the most iconic Supergirl image in comics history: Superman holding his fallen cousin on the cover of #crisisoninfiniteearths. But standing in for the #manofsteel is the Man of Shhhh himself, #silentbob.
"Hopefully, this image isn't a prognosticator of my episode somehow killing the show I love. If there's any bad about #supergirllives, it's entirely mine: because the cast and crew made a fantastic episode. I know this not only because I was there watching when they did it, but also because I've already peeped some of the scenes our editor Barbara cut together. This thank you t-shirt is the least I can do for the folks who made me look like I might be good at my job. #KevinSmith #supergirlseason2 #jeffquigley #vancouver"
Here's the original comic cover that the art on Smith's t-shirt gift is based on.
