Supergirl

CBS has now picked up the show for a full series and will be written and produced by Greg Berlanti (Arrow and The Flash) and Ali Adler (Chuck, No Ordinary Family) along with Sarah Schechter.
The idea is that of course she has the same powers as her cousin but has been hiding her powers and suddenly at the age of 24 she decides to embrace her destiny. No news yet on who has been cast but we won't see the show until sometime in 2015.

More Supergirl news Kara Zor-El will be known as Kara Danvers which is a little nod to the second Supergirl in the comics who was known as Linda Danvers, the show makers are looking for a Caucasian females between 22 and 26 to play 24. In this version of the story, Kara was sent to Earth from a dying Krypton at age 12. She was taken in by the Danvers family, who taught her to use caution with her amazing abilities. For more than a decade, Kara repressed using those skills, but then she had to use her abilities in public during an unexpected disaster.
There looking for someone to play her older foster sister named Alexandra "Alex" Danvers who is described as "gorgeous, brilliant, and science-minded." Growing up, Alex had some jealousy as well as fascination with her sister's abilities, which helped fuel her interest in alien anthropology, sociology, and culture. Alex works for a secret government organization.

Some new characters for Supergirl:

CAT GRANT | The project is eyeing females in their 40s, open ethnicity, to play the founder of CatCo, a media conglomerate that Cat built from the ground up. Kara (Supergirl's mild-mannered alter ego) will work as a personal assistant to Cat, who is described as "J.Lo by way of Anna Wintour."
JAMES OLSEN | In his late 20s/early 30s, open ethnicity, James is a smart, worldly and (duh) attractive photographer for CatCo. Though an alpha male, his salt-of-the-earth nature elicits a huge ol' crush from Kara.
WINSLOW 'WYNN' SCHOTT | This twentysomething tech whiz/Comic-Con stalwart toils for CatCo as a programmer, unaware of his own (toying?) potential. Unware of her secret, he carries a torch for Kara, whom he lives next door to.
HANK HENSHAW | As an upstart CIA agent, Hank grew obsessed with intergalactic intel. Now in his 40s and lording over the DEO (Department of Extra-Normal Operations), he is on high alert when Supergirl reveals herself, worried that her otherworldly abilities pose a threat to humankind.

We know that Hank Henshaw in the comics become Cyborg Superman.

Helen Slater had a nice pair of Kryptonites back in the day.

Melissa Benoist has been cast as the title character in CBS’ new Supergirl series.

Odd choice given she was somebody who had hardcore sex pics come out during the leak that happened last year.
(Don't anybody post or link to them btw).

She'll have to dye her hair blonde tho, she will be the second star from Glee to be cast in a super hero show the first being Grant Gustin.

I liked Laura Vandervoort from Smallville as Kara/Supergirl shame that never developed, guess she's too old to reprise that role.

Yeah am the same, the reason why its not the same actress is because they wanted a fresh start for the character so if do that you can't use the same actress its a similar reason why we won't Tom Welling appearing as Clark Kent/Superman in either Arrow or The Flash different universe.
