Supergirl Pilot To Screen At Comic-Con

A legal screening of the Supergirl pilot is expected to kick off this year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego.

The pilot will be previewed on the Wednesday “preview night” on July 8. Here’s how Warner Bros. describes the project:

In the vast DC Comics Universe of super heroes, the rich mythology of Superman and the planet Krypton is perhaps the most famous and instantly recognizable. Enter Supergirl! Born on the doomed planet Krypton, the preteen Kara escaped at the same time as the infant Kal-El, but didn’t arrive on Earth until many years later after being lost in the Phantom Zone. Now age 24, living in National City and working as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant, Kara has spent so many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All that changes when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always destined to be. With the help of Daily Planet photographer James Olsen, her foster sister Alex, and the research of the super-secret, off-the-grid Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO) and its head, Hank Henshaw, who are tasked with keeping the Earth safe from aliens, Kara takes to the skies to protect her world.

But that’s not all!

The pilot will be screened again on Saturday, July 11, as part of a big night of DC Entertainment programming that also includes Arrow, Gotham, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and new digital series Vixen.

Cast and producers are expected to attend.

All in all, it should be a great time, and we will be there to cover all the news (of course!)
