Supergirl!!!!

Too old for wonder woman. Everybody knows she is only 5. Duh

[Leckomaniac]

Zing!

[RaulMonkey]

WB/DC needs to be very careful that this doesn't become their ELEKTRA--ie, completely unnecessary and bloats their universe to a point of exasperation.

And I just want to take this moment to record AtomicHyperbole's sig on the official record, 'cause it's fucking hilarious, wherever it came from:

"Mmm. A little citrus. Maybe some strawberry. Mmm. Passion fruit. Mmm. And—ah, there's just, like, the faintest … soupçon of like, uh, asparagus and there's a—just a flutter of, like, a—like a nutty Edam cheese."

burlives' pics make me laugh every time too

[Leckomaniac]

Raul I think someone said that Atomic's sig was from Sideways...but I could be wrong.

And I completely understand your point about not making this into an Elektra-esque movie.

bump it like you got a pair...

I thought there was a thread on this already, but seeing as the other thread had gone on for so long I figured the Mods hat let it be. So, in a way, this is all YOUR fault Bodgerators!

Hey since this is a new thread can I do the 'Didn't Bryan Singer do Supergirl last year' joke? Can I?

Can I? Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh?

[burlivesleftnut]

Since bluebottle isn't here and considering this situation, I will be the guy that says:

If only we could use some futuristic advanced technology to somehow MERGE threads.

If only we could use some futuristic advanced technology to somehow MERGE threads.

I've been working on it, but I've got a different prototype in the works that's been dominating my time of late.



Someone's gonna need a bigger boat...and some anti-aircraft guns.

It was really funny, until the thread got frakkin' deleted.

Basically it was an earlier post by me that said "DANCE MONKEY...sit down Bob, I was being facetious."

HA! That’s great. My jokes are getting stale and predictable…no wait a minute, that’s not great.

From The Superman Homepage:
June 7, 2012: Are Warner Bros. Considering a New Supergirl Movie?

MovieHole.net reports that a new Supergirl clothing-line is the first phase in a company-wide push by Warner Bros. to get Supergirl back out there, with a possible film in development.

The first attack in a new all-encompassing marketing blitz thatll hopefully see young teenage girls go gaga for the 'Supergirl' brand - the same way they do, say, Minnie Mouse or Dora the Explorer - is about to begin in the form of a massive clothing and merchandising launch that'll put Kara's 'S' in a million places at once. Those involved in the launch of this new Supergirl garb blitz say their job is merely the first cog in a massive wheel that'll spin out new 'Supergirl' material over the next couple of years. One of the other cogs, of course, is the feature film that'll relaunch Supergirl back onto the big screen for the first time since 1984.

Now this, mind you, is not something my contacts know a lot about - being that it's not 'their department' but what they do know is plans are definitely afoot to bring 'Supergirl' back to our screens. And soon.

Source: MovieHole.net.

You know, Supergirl has a certain cheesy charm to it. I always wished that it was a slightly better film that could have warranted some sequels, but it's probably better that it didn't happen. The Salkinds never seemed to be concerned with quality, alas.

DC Entertainment Actively Pitching A Supergirl TV Series, With Michael Green?

[TheButcher]

Supergirl Takes Flight With TV Series From Greg Berlanti & Ali Adler

On the heels of the success of Arrow and the strong buzz for its upcoming offshoot The Flash — both co-created and executive produced by Greg Berlanti — the top producer is looking to transition another popular DC superhero character to the small screen. I’ve learned that Berlanti has teamed with Ali Adler, who worked on his ABC series No Ordinary Family, for a TV series based on Supergirl. Warner Bros. TV, which is behind all DC TV series, will produce with Berlanti’s studio-based Berlanti Prods..

I hear the project, which is still in development, will be a new interpretation of the Supergirl character and her story. Adler will write the script and will executive produce with Berlanti Prods.’ Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. DC’s Geoff Johns, who has been involved in both Arrow and The Flash, is also expected to be part of the project but it is unclear at this time what his role will be. The Supergirl show doesn’t have a name yet. I hear the producers are considering several options that need to be cleared, including Super and Girl. The project is expected to be taken out in a couple of weeks and pitched to the major networks the way WBTV and DC did with their high profile Batman prequel Gotham, which landed at Fox with a big commitment. The Supergirl series had been in the works at WBTV for some time with Berlanti and Adler. Contrary to a report that was picked up by a number of outlets, Michael Green has had no involvement in the project.

The Supergirl character was created by writer Otto Binder and designed by artist Al Plastino in 1959. There had been several characters that had assumed the caped girl persona, most notably Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El, who shares his super powers and vulnerability to Kryptonite. There has been a push to get more female superhero characters in comic books and on the big and small screens. Marvel has a Jessica Jones series in pre-production at Netflix.

[TheButcher]

Supergirl TV Series in the Works

Adler, who worked with Berlanti on ABC's superhero dramedy No Ordinary Family, will pen is expected to pen the script, with Berlanti on board to produce via his WBTV-based Berlanti Productions banner. DC's Geoff Johns is also expected to have a role in the Supergirl project, which is in the early stages of development and expected to be taken out to networks soon. Johns exec produces Arrow and The Flash.

Also unclear is if it will be an hour or half-hour as well as a potential title for the project, which is based on the DC Comics character created by Otto Binder and designed by artist Al Plastino in 1959. She first appeared in Action Comics as a female counterpart to Superman. Adler and Berlanti's take is expected to be a new interpretation of the character and her story. Sources tell THR that the project will not be called Supergirl.

The Supergirl entry comes as comic book adaptations are poised to have a major presence on the upcoming fall schedule. In addition to Berlanti's CW series Arrow, he has spinoff The Flash at the network. Both hail from WBTV and DC Entertainment, which also are behind Fox's Batman/Jim Gordon prequel Gotham, NBC's Hellblazer take Constantine and The CW's iZombie adaptation. On the Marvel side, ABC has Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter.
For its part, WBTV and The CW also took two stabs at bringing DC's Wonder Woman to the small screen with a 2012 origin story coming a year after NBC passed on its David E. Kelley take on the iconic female hero.

Berlanti, meanwhile, already has one sale this development season. He's prepping Blindspot, a naked amnesiac drama for NBC, expanding his relationship with the network behind his adaptation of fall drama The Mysteries of Laura. Adler's credits include Glee and NBC's The New Normal.

Greg Berlanti's 'Supergirl' Lands at CBS With Series Commitment

Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler's Supergirl has a home: CBS.

CBS has landed the high-profile DC Comics adaptation, handing out a hefty series commitment, The Hollywood Reporter has lear

The hourlong drama, taken out last week, centers on Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she has been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. (The character was previously played by Laura Vandervoort on The CW's Superman origin story Smallville.)

Berlanti and Adler, who previously teamed on ABC's superhero drama No Ordinary Family, will pen the script and executive produce the drama via Berlanti Productions' Warner Bros. Television-based banner. Berlanti Productions' topper Sarah Schecter also executive produces.

The Supergirl pickup also means all five of the broadcast networks could have superhero-themed series on the air next season, with DC properties on four of the five. Fox on Monday launches its highly anticipated Batman prequel Gotham — which like Supergirl started with a series commitment; NBC has Hellblazer take Constantine due in October; CW has Flash and Arrow; and ABC, via Disney's deal with Marvel, has Agents of SHIELD and bridge series Agent Carter. For its part, Netflix also has four Marvel series and a mini, starting with Daredevil.

Comic adaptations are the fall's biggest bet, with many producers telling THR that the wave comes as superheroes continue to dominate the box office and as the technology to tell such stories has evolved, among other factors. AMC's The Walking Dead, TV's biggest drama in the key adults 18-49 demographic, is also based on a comic and the network is tapping that well for a companion series eyed for 2015. Other cable networks — as well as Sony's PlayStation — have also joined the fray, with comic takes on Powers, Preacher, Outcast, Ronin, Clone, Titans, Scalped and more.

Supergirl now gives Berlanti three shows based on characters from the DC Comics universe. It joins The CW veteran Arrow and upcoming spinoff The Flash. It also comes as Berlanti's newest drama, NBC's Mysteries of Laura adaptation, opened to strong viewership this week. Supergirl is Berlanti's third sale this development season and second at CBS. He also has supernatural procedural The Things They Left Behind based on a Stephen King short story set up at CBS with a put-pilot commitment and FBI thriller Blindspot at NBC with a script plus penalty attached.

‘Supergirl’ Drama From Greg Berlanti & Ali Adler Lands CBS Series Commitment

Supergirl, Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler’s drama based on the DC female superhero, has landed at CBS with a series commitment. The deal closed last night, a day after the project was taken out to the broadcast networks on Wednesday. I hear the size of commitment eclipses the series commitment DC Batman drama Gotham got at Fox last fall. Warner Bros. TV is producing with studio-based Berlanti Prods.

The Supergirl character was created by writer Otto Binder and designed by artist Al Plastino in 1959. Of the several women who have assumed the caped girl persona in the comics, the Berlanti-Adler series will feature the most popular one: Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El, who shares his super powers and vulnerability to Kryptonite. Unlike WBTV’s long-running Superman series Smallville, which focused on the superhero’s journey up to acquiring the powers and becoming Superman, Supergirl starts with Kara beginning to use her abilities.

Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Berlanti and Adler will write the script and executive produce with Berlanti Prods.’ Sarah Schechter. Also closely involved in the development of the project has been DC Entertainment’s chief creative officer Geoff Johns.

cbs logoWhile CBS may look as a surprising home for a younger-skewing superhero drama, it was the only broadcast network without a comic book series. Additionally, CBS has been making a push in female-lead dramas with Extant, Madam Secretary and CSI: Cyber joining staple The Good Wife.

10 TV Pilots Likely to Score Series Pickups

7. Supergirl (CBS)

After early rumors that the DC Comics take from Ali Adler and Arrow/Flash masterminds Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg was facing trouble (being shopped to The CW), the tide changed after CBS Entertainment chairman Nina Tassler saw the final cut and loved it. The Melissa Benoist starrer was always considered too expensive to move to the younger-skewing network and a pickup could present a larger question for CBS: where to schedule it. Some sources suggested a summer run could be on the table where it could be paired with sci-fi fare like Under the Dome, Extant and Zoo. A summer run could also give the network an edge in the increasingly crowded comic book space, with only AMC's Fear the Walking Dead expected to set up shop there.

well, at least they gave away every single story beat from the first season, so there's no reason to watch it.
