There are only two episodes remaining of Supergirl season 1, and after several episodes of fighting off both human and alien enemies, Kara (Melissa Benoist) is set for her biggest showdown yet. While renewal is likely for the freshman series, bolstered by the recent ratings boost of The Flash crossover, it’s not yet been officially announced. Showrunners/creators Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler, and Andrew Kreisberg will be hoping a well-received end to season 1 will help confirm that there will, in fact, be a season 2.

Speaking of The Flash, well-known writer/director and comic book geek Kevin Smithdirected episode 21 of that DC Comics-based TV series’ second season, which will air this May. The show shares many of the same creative team as Supergirl, so while on set, the man known for telling great behind-the-scenes stories picked up some inside information.


According to Cinema Blend, Smith heard about future collaborations between the DC hero shows as well as a big revelation about Supergirl‘s big finale episode:

“But they were talking about the crossover in a way that it was the first of many, and they told me something that I’m not going to f**king share because it will ruin the end of the season for you, but it is amazing. Something’s happening that will affect Supergirl in such a great way that, you think it’s like cute puppies and f**king kittens now? You are going to cry when you see how beautiful this f**king thing is.”

The official synopsis for the Supergirl season-ender “Better Angels” has Kara battling an “unexpected foe” when she goes up against her aunt Astra’s husband Non (Chris Vance) and supercomputer alien Indigo (Laura Vandervoort). We’ve already seen that Astra (Laura Benanti) and Non’s plans for “saving the planet” involved killing a lot of people, and with the more sympathetic Astra gone, Non’s violent tendencies now go unchecked. Supergirl will have to “risk everything — including her life” to stop him.

While Supergirl has had some flaws in its first season, the series often excels at creating powerfully emotional scenes. These often center on Kara’s lost family and her current one, and how each have meant so much to the hero she is trying to become. Images from the episode include what looks like a heart-to-heart between Kara, adoptive mom Eliza (Helen Slater) and sister Alex (Chyler Leight), plus a touching moment between Supergirl and father figure Hank Henshaw (David Harewood). While the the “beautiful” revelation Smith raved about could have something to do with saving the world, it’s also a good bet we’ll get some intense moments with Kara’s loved ones. Hopefully it will live up to the “cute puppies and kittens” hype we’ve been promised.
 
there was more drama in that scene where kara had to choose who save between three people falling off the building than there was in the fight between superman and batman.. :lol::lol:
 
this is the inherent problem with this show and its constant reference to superman....if she's facing a danger thats that big then why ISN'T superman coming to help? :hmm::smh:

i know i know...he moved his pivot foot again..just look the other way...
 
Ok....I gotta drop this show out the rotation....So now Supergirl, who's an alien from outer space, from the same place Superman is from, and depending on who you talk to is as strong or stronger than Superman, can't survive the vacuum of space. I tried but fuck this show!!!

Supergirl's skinny ass can still get the D tho :D
 
Ok this would be interesting.....

LAST MINUTE SUPERGIRL RENEWAL NEGOTIATIONS INCLUDE SPECULATION ABOUT MOVE TO CW

BY MATT PORTER

CBS and Warner Bros. are in discussions about a renewal for Supergirl, and there are rumors it could be moving to The CW.

According to The Wrap, Supergirl costs around $3 million to make per episode, and the ratings of its first season which ended in April aren't making up for it.

CBS head Leslie Moonves and Warner Bros.' TV head Peter Roth are in the midst of discussions, but a deadline is looming, as CBS will be announcing its fall schedule in just two weeks.

The CW network is jointly owned by CBS and Warner, and a possible solution could be moving Supergirl there. The CW already has superhero shows such as Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow, so it would be a good fit.

The problem for Supergirl is The CW doesn't offer huge budgets to its shows either, so we'd likely see cutbacks for a second season. None of this has been confirmed yet, so IGN will update you when we learn something concrete.

If it does happen, we could be seeing more crossover episodes with The CW's other shows, such as when The Flash and Supergirl met up in March.

^^^^^and if this happened, how would the crossovesr work? They were from different earths. Another fuck up by DC.

It was kind of weird how they did it but I guess Kara is on Earth 3. That does open the door for Power girl (aka another version of Supergirl) to end up on Earth 1 with flash and Arrow.. Since there is supposed to be a duplicate on every earth.
 
Plus I think Supergirl would fit better on CW anyway. Remove 50% of the cast... Leave Cat and the Martian manhunter. Maybe also the nerd from work and her sister. Kill off Jimmy and have Superman missing and I think you have the makings of a much better show.

I never thought I would ever say this but the Superman part completely ruins the show. You can have Superman and Supergirl in the same universe for a comicbook or in a show where Superman is the star like Smallville but it can't work on this show. Either Superman man comes off as extremely weak ( example... Being brainwashed and ending up in a coma or not being able to beat a regular dude in power suit) or a Dick because he hasn't stepped in to help his cousin fight off an army of Kryptonians. Hell im still trying to understand why he wouldn't join in that fight anyway mainly to talk to Kara's Aunt especially since she is also technically family by being his Aunts sister. It's just odd.

It's so stupid, the bad guys had the most powerful being on the planet and didn't do shit with him.

Yeah I'm not going to lie.... That shit made Zero sense. None of that made sense.... All it took was a fucking Television broadcast to wake the entire city up. Oh and Kara's sister only woke up because Kara mentioned her Dad, but the fact that she was trying to kill her sister didn't have any effect. That was the stupidest brainwashing I've ever seen.

The problem is that they have the rights to use Supergirl on TV but not Superman...same issue Smallville had "no cape no tights" rule, so Supergirl has to tip-toe around it at every turn and the best they could come up with is the stuff yall are complaining about...which i agree is stupid as fuck but its all they got to work with. I liked the first attempt to get out of using him and that was her like "Hey I need to do things on my own so let me do my thing" then he just didnt show up because he was giving her space...but to have him come back and get beat up by dude in the suit and then brainwashed was silly as fuck.

Not to mention that they make Supergirl more powerful than Nan and Astra when shes only been on earth for a couple of years....and they are trained soldiers. The thing that makes Superman more powerful than other kryptonians is his 30+ years of yellow sun. So to have Kara more powerful than them for whatever reason is also dumb as fuck. Smh DC needs to get their house in order...the Flash is the only thing they got going and this Zoom storyline is starting to fuck that up too.

I get the whole rights thing but it would have been better if they never mentioned him. Also didn't the Ark get released from the phantom zone the same time as Kara? So the other kryptonians should have been on earth as long as Kara which takes away any advantage Kara has

That brainwashing shit was stupid,they tried to justify it by saying that Superman adapted the human mindset at a young age or whatever they called it on the show.

I hope Supergirl does move to the CW,because it looked to me that CBS just made a superhero show without caring for it at all.

I also agree with cutting Jimmy and outright not have Superman on the show,if they can't get the guy who played him in Smallville(need to watch the show..btw)

I don't know man.. Zoom kick in a gear last night with the snapping of the necks. He looks unbeatable right now.

But on to Supergirl........ They should have never brought him into the Story. They could have modeled this show off the beginning of Superman Returns with Clark leaving the Earth due to some sort of tragic events. Still keep her hiding her powers because she was afraid that she couldn't live up to his legacy, but then leave the part of her having to reveal herself to save her sister. Bamn..... Now you have her come in and learn how to be a hero on the fly because she is Earth's only hope right now. Every battle would carry more weight, because you knew she was the last line of defense.

Yeah and that part was fucking stupid because she wasn't even a Teenager when she landed on Earth.
 
Dear CBS, let me solve your budget problems — cancel Supergirl

CBS might be considering cutting the Supergirl budget, but they should really just cancel it instead

After a lackluster Season 1, rumor has it that CBS is pondering whether or notSupergirl is worth the huge budget it is siphoning out of the networks funds. I'd like to publicly declare: It isn't.

According to The Wrap, sources say that CBS is still in negotiations with Warner Bros. TV to decide whether or not the series is worth its gargantuan $3 million per episode licensing fee, being that ratings rapidly declined throughout the first season. It still remains unclear if CBS will move forward with the Warner Bros. show by negotiating a smaller licensing fee, or just ax it altogether. The network is set to announce their fall lineup in two weeks, so the clock is ticking.

Fans have also suggested saving Supergirl by moving it over to The CW, where it might have an easier time reaching its demographic. However, there would likely be an even bigger budget cut for the show if it switched networks, as it's well known that similar comic shows already established on The CW — like The Flash — are already operating under a smaller budget than Supergirl.

My question is, what exactly is all that Supergirl money even being used on? Several outlets have reported that it has one of the highest budgets of any freshman TV show ever, but with the low quality of the series, it's hard to understand what that cash is being spent on. The cast, though talented, doesn't consist of any huge names, the special effects leave much to be desired, they're certainly not spending any money on villain makeup and costuming and the writing, well, I sure hope that's not where all the funds are going.

If CBS really is considering cutting the budget of this already uber cheesy, ill-written show, things are only going to get worse — and if that's the case, it's probably just time to call curtains on Supergirl altogether.

What do you think? If CBS needs to cut the Supergirl budget to bring it back, will it even be worth it?

I don't understand,why these TV executives get a property that's well established and then want to be cheap when it comes to a budget
 
Les Moonves, who has oversight of both CBS and The CW, is reportedly talking to “Supergirl” producer Warner Bros. about moving “Supergirl” from CBS to The CW.

While “Supergirl’s” ratings are nowhere near as big as those of CBS hits like “Survivor,” “NCIS” and “The Big Bang Theory,” the Girl of Steel’s ratings remain comparable to those of The CW’s biggest hit, “The Flash.”

Like the CW’s DC Comics series “The Flash,” “Arrow” and “Legends of Tomorrow,” “Supergirl” is produced by longtime “Dawson’s Creek” showrunner Greg Berlanti. The CW also airs the DC Comics property “iZombie.”
