Even among the fairly diverse run of show’s that fill The CW’s superhero roster—which range from straight vigilante dramas to whatever you want to call the time traveling, joyful nonsense of Legends Of Tomorrow—the upcoming Naomi seems different. Partly, it’s just a matter of pedigree: The show is based around a DC Comics character created by Brian Michael Bendis, David F. Walker, and Jamal Campbell, and comes to the small screen courtesy of Ava DuVernay.
But it’s also the promise of that simple, non-bombastic name, a trait the character shares with her comic book incarnation who, despite her powers, rarely uses any kind of superhero nickname. It’s grounded, in a way that it’s hard for a show called Supergirl or The Flash to be.
