CBS wants superhero show, too, commits to Supergirl
After seeing how much fun little sibling The CW is having with its Arrow adventures and hand-me-down Flash costumes (and actors), CBS is following the course of so many other older brothers and getting back into superheroes. Today, the network made a series commitment to Supergirl, an adaptation of the popular DC property from Chuck producer Ali Adler and adapter of popular DC properties Greg Berlanti. (The project was previously rumored to be attached to appropriately named Green Lantern screenwriter Michael Green.) The duo, who collaborated on No Ordinary Family, will tell the story of Superman’s Kryptonian cousin Kara Zor-El as she learns to harness her superpowers. Assumedly, their Supergirl will also see Kara heeding the warnings of previous DC heroines who failed to integrate themselves into the alien society of broadcast television.
