Screenings: For the third year in a row, Warner Bros. Television offers an
advance viewing of pilot episodes; this year, check out three of the most
highly anticipated series of the 2015–16 television season —Supergirl,
Containment and Lucifer — as well as a sneak peek of DC’s
Legends ofTomorrow.
Supergirl: In the vast DC Comics
Universe of super heroes, the rich mythology of Superman and the planet Krypton
is perhaps the most famous and instantly recognizable. Enter Supergirl!
Born on the doomed planet Krypton, the preteen Kara escaped at the same time as
the infant Kal-El, but didn’t arrive on Earth until many years later after
being lost in the Phantom Zone. Now age 24, living in National City and working
as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant, Kara has spent so
many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All that changes
when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she
was always destined to be. With the help of Daily Planet photographer
James Olsen, her foster sister Alex, and the research of the super-secret,
off-the-grid Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO) and its head, Hank
Henshaw, who are tasked with keeping the Earth safe from aliens, Kara takes to
the skies to protect her world.
Containment: When a mysterious and
deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta, a vast urban quarantine is quickly
enforced, forcing those stuck on the inside to fight for their lives while
local and federal officials desperately search for a cure in Containment.
Torn apart from their loved ones, the survivors trapped within the cordon are
fighting against not only fatal infection, but also isolation, fear and the
disintegration of society around them. But as they begin to gain each other’s
trust, hope remains, and on either side of the cordon unlikely heroes will
rise.
Lucifer: The story of the
original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer
Morningstar has resigned his throne and retired to the City of Angels, where he
owns an upscale piano bar called Lux. When a beautiful pop star is murdered, he
feels something awaken deep within him for the first time in roughly 10 billion
years. Is he actually capable of feelings for a human being? The very thought
disturbs him. The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective
Chloe Dancer, who finds herself both repulsed and fascinated by Lucifer. At the
same time, God’s emissary, the angel Amenadiel, has been sent to Los Angeles to
convince Lucifer to return to Hell. But with the City of Angels at his feet and
a newfound purpose, Lucifer’s having too much fun to go back now.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: When heroes alone are not enough … the world
needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent
from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a
disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat
—one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. From the
creators of The Flash and Arrow comes this
super hero team-up unlike anything that’s ever been seen on television before.
