Supergirl | CBS | Melissa Benoist from Whiplash and Glee to play the title character.

Welp. That was pretty dang good. 1 episode and I already like this Superman more than Snyder's.

[ChipDerby]

That was a great episode.

 

(this Superman has been on Earth for 12+ years, so of course he's more well established)

[filmlover]

Go figure that an alumni from the Teen Wolf reboot would give us a better Superman than the current movie version. lol.

It's not hard to get a better version than the current cinematic version. goes to show had horribly Superman's character was portrayed in the film universe. although honestly aside from Christopher Reeves, he was pretty much always portrayed better on TV. 

 

I still need to finished season 1. but I am really starting to like the show. I'm so glad they decided to add Superman to the mix! can't wait to see season 2! 

 

I wonder what the chances are of getting another Superman series though. I'm so ready for a good superman again, and I doubt will get that in film anytime soon.

I really like where they're going with the "Alex comes out" storyline.

 

This show is actually even better than it was in Season 1, even though I still don't care for any of the male characters who aren't Hank.

[ChipDerby]

The female characters on the show are SO DAMN GOOD.

I feel like Winn has improved a fair bit. Poor Jimmy, though.
