'Supergirl' New Trailer News: Extended Teaser Released for CBS Superhero Series [VIDEO]
CBS has finally delivered and given fans the first look at their upcoming series 'Supergirl' in a extended trailer. In this we get a brief introduction on how her character came to Earth, and a look at how she fairs in her daily life.
It's revealed that she works as an assistant to a huge media mogul, Kat Grants, and her love interest is even introduced, Jimmy Olsen, played by Mehcad Brooks.
We also get a pretty in depth look at her progression into being a superhero, along with her costume stages.
The show looks like it can offer the network a lot being a strong female lead superhero series. While it will be helmed by Greg Berlanti, producer of shows such as 'Arrow,' and 'The Flash,' it is suspected that 'Supergirl' will stand by itself in its own universe and overall feel.
Here's the full synopsis:
"SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Superman's (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe Award winner Calista Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet's former photographer, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), as her new art director. However, Kara's days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime."
