A newish trailer for
CBS's Supergirl has landed online, and it essentially sums up Kara's story,
from the time she left Krypton, to being trapped inside the Phantom Zone, to
finally reaching Earth, and fighting alien threats.
Supergirl is another thread
in Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg's web of superhero shows, which include
The Flash, Arrow, and the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow.
Supergirl premieres
on October 26.
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. Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Arrow”),
Ali Adler, Sarah Schecter and Andrew Kreisberg are executive producers for
Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
The pilot was directed by Glen Winter (“Arrow”).
BEST TRAILER EVER!
