CBS has released the first trailer for Supergirl, clocking in at about 6 minutes and basically being perfection.

Melissa Benoist plays Kara/Supergirl in a cast that includes Chyler Leigh, Mehcad Brooks, Jeremy Jordan, Calista Flockhart, and more. Oh, and look… it appears that Dean Cain and Helen Slater are indeed playing Kara’s adoptive parents, the Danvers. SPOILER WARNING!!!

How fitting is it that exactly 4 years to the day after Smallville left our TV screens, we get a new Kryptonian to root for.

Needless to say, we’re sold.

Come talk about the trailer on our forum for Supergirl!

Happy Birthday, Smallville!

Are you kidding me?!? I am infuriated. This show took superman’s female counterpart, someone just as powerful as him, and reduced her show to a rom-com with her being supergirl as a background plot. There wasn’t one action scene that you would have seen in a male led show like arrow and flash. This show looked like it would be a huge success and one of the greats in female led superhero shows but it will just be another one to put on the list of worst shows with female leads

Perfection? A Jimmy Olsen so different from classic Jimmy, that many fans don’t like him already, he should’ve been a new character, it would’ve made more sense. This Cat Grant is not classic either, among other unnecessary changes to the source material, so it is far, far from perfect. The score was not very inspiring either, the first trailer from the Flash was much better IMO. I will give it a chance though, but expectations from many fans don’t seem to be very high, there’s a lot of scepticism.

Disgrace to the series and all things DC but what do I know, I’m only a fan since early childhood.

  I don’t know, I’ve been an early fan since childhood and I loved it, and don’t think it’s a disgrace at all to anything DC. Not sure I follow you…

  I think its a bit early to judge weather it will be bad or good based on 6 minutes of footage! If Arrow showed a 6 minute trailer before airing the pilot of the wrong 6 minutes of the pilot you might have said the same thing. Watch the first episode when it airs then make a decision

I’ve shown my 8 and 11 year old daughters this and they are excited for it. No, its not the classic source material – which has changed a half dozen times since Crisis. And to the RomCom criticism, I think its less that and more a coming of age. And every one of the current superhero shows has an element of romance going on – Arrow has a ton. Flash, heck even Agents of Shield.

I don’t expect perfection right out of the gate. It has promise and potential. Hopefully CBS gives it a season to find itself – and hopefully it does. I want this for my kids!

Annette O’Toole’s Big Smallville Regret

Annette O’Toole discusses her biggest regret from her time on Smallville.

Smallville’s Annette O’Toole recently spoke with Salon magazine about her biggest regret from her time on the show. It’s a topic she has discussed on the TalkVille podcast, and it is something she talked about in KryptonSite’s interview to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series premiere.

Basically, it was the notion that she never was able to share scenes with Christopher Reeve. While the plan originally was for a scene between them in the Season 4 premiere “Crusade,” in the two appearances that Reeve did make on Smallville failed to reunite O’Toole with Reeve, which is a shame, as Annette played Lana Lang to Christopher Reeve’s Clark Kent in the film Superman III.

“I never understood it,” she said. “I should have picked up the phone and called the producers and said what are you thinking? You’ve got the prior Lana Lang and Superman. Why aren’t you putting them in a scene together? It kind of broke my heart. It was kind of like ‘if they don’t see, I’m not gonna tell ’em! They don’t understand!’ So who’s regretting it? Not them. I knew it would be the last time I’d ever get to see Chris, so, yeah, I’m very sad about that.”
