While the pilot leak has given some spectators a bit more optimism in the series' possible success, there are still those that remain unconvinced that CBS' 'Supergirl' series will impress them.

DC Comics COO Geoff Johns has recently come to the defense of the currently unaired series to state that he truly believes that it will "blow people away."

He links his argument to 'The Flash' and how many doubters that series had upon its arrival, while it now sits at one of the beset comic book adapted series on the air today.

In an interview with IGN, Johns explains:

"Everyone deserves to have a reaction, but at the end of the day, I believe in the pilot, I believe in the show. When people see the pilot, they're going to be blown away.

"When they first saw his suit, when we cast [Flash actor] Grant [Gustin], people were like, 'That's not the Flash!' and now people are like, 'Oh my God, he is the Flash!' I'm so proud of that show and -- in so many ways the Flash was my favorite character growing up -- to see it realized and to see people embracing it. And it truly is a Flash TV show, we're not shying away from anything. We jokingly said, yeah we're doing Gorilla Grodd and I think people were like, 'Okay...' Yeah, no, we're doing Gorilla Grodd! And we've got a lot of great plans for Supergirl in the same vein as that."

"I think the greatest thing about the Supergirl show we're working on and the thing I'm most proud of is it embodies the character and the Superman mythology in a really strong, accessible way that I think carries at least the tone and spirit with what we've done with The Flash. And Melissa Benoist is an amazing Supergirl and Kara Danvers. I'm just excited for people to see it."

CBS has announced the official premiere date for the show to be October 10, 2015.
