First Look At Lucy Lane In Supergirl

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21909:]]

Check out a first look at Lucy Lane in the CBS Supergirl TV series.

EW.com debuted the image of Jenna Dewan-Tatum playing Lucy Lane alongside Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen and Melissa Benoist as Kara.

Lucy Lane, the younger sister to Lois Lane, is described in the series as: “strong, smart and successful in her own right. She’s got a history with Jimmy Olsen and she’s come to town to right a previous wrong.”

“We hope to explore the history that Lucy has with James Olsen — or, as Lucy knows him, Jimmy Olsen,”  executive producer Ali Adler teased. “I think we’re going to bring in her father. She not only plays a romantic foil with whatever Kara and James are brewing, but people will also be surprised that she’s really a woman’s woman. She and Kara develop their own friendship, too. We’re not just bringing her in to purposefully create tension. She serves a larger story drive.”

Lucy Lane’s father happens to be General Sam Lane, and in the comics, Lucy Lane becomes Superwoman with her costume featuring a containment field that simulated Kryptonian powers.

Supergirl Casts Twilight’s Peter Facinelli As Maxwell Lord

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21346:]]

Tonight at Comic-Con saw Maxwell Lord cast for Supergirl, which will be played by Twilight‘s Peter Facinelli.

The role for Facinelli is said to be recurring, with the actor appearing on stage in Hall H telling the crowd: “The last time I was here was for Twilight. That was puny!”

“Maxwell Lord has quite a storied history in DC Comics continuity. Sometimes a villain, sometimes a hero and sometimes a little of both Lord has been written both with and without super powers. He’s also been involved with the Justice League and played a role in the formation of the Justice League International. On CBS’s new series, Lord is a green tech billionaire who enjoys a friendly rivalry with Cat Grant and a fascination with National City’s newest arrival — Supergirl,” revealed DC in a statement.

“Greg [Berlanti], Ali [Adler] and I have been fans of Peter for years.  We’re beyond thrilled to have him join us on Supergirl’s first adventures bringing the iconic Maxwell Lord to life,” Andrew Kreisberg added.

It was also confirmed the Superman villain Livewire, and Reactron, a Supergirl villain, will appear in Season 1, but no casting for those characters was announced.

Supergirl premiers Monday, October 26th on CBS at 8:30pm ET starring Melissa Benoist.

New Melissa Benoist Supergirl Image From Pilot


Supergirl Trailer
 

Check out a new image of Melissa Benoist as Supergirl from the upcoming pilot that will air on CBS in November.

Variety debuted the image with comments by showrunner Greg Berlanti and Benoist.

“If we hadn’t found her, I wouldn’t have wanted to make it,” Berlanti said, with it mentioned Benoist auditioned ten times over the course of two-and-a-half months for the role.

“I never imagined myself getting a role like this,” Benoist added. “There are moments when I step back and look at the bigger picture and I’m on the set with fire and explosions and I’m in the suit — and I’ll have to do a double-take.”

Supergirl Pilot Easter Eggs & Spoilers

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20701:]]

Earlier this morning saw word the Supergirl TV series pilot leaked online, and now details including Easter Eggs and spoilers have hit the net.

Spoiler Warning.

A lot was obviously revealed in the six minute extended trailer (watch below) with the pilot expanding upon the footage.

Kara’s leaves Krypton at the same time as Kal-El, with her mission being to protect her baby cousin. Her pod is directly connected to Kal-El’s and the coordinates to Earth; however, as Krypton explodes, Kara’s pod is sent to the Phantom Zone.

Kara than wakes up Earth not knowing how she got there. Her cousin (never referred to as “Superman” in the episode) finds her and takes her to the Danvers (Dean Cain and Helen Slater play her adoptive Earth parents).

Kara works for Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) at Catco in National City where she is Cat’s assistant. Winslow ‘Winn’ Schott (Jeremy Jordan) and James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) are introduced. It’s noted “The Big Guy” still refers to James as “Jimmy Olsen.” Schott, aka Toyman in the DC Comics, is the tech guy and has a crush on Kara.

Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) is Kara’s Earth sister. She’s off to Geneva when her plane suffers a malfunction – that’s when Kara reveals her powers for the first time. Alex isn’t happy that Kara used her powers and tells her not to do it again.

Kara needs to tell someone – to share in her good feelings – so she reveals herself to Winn on the rooftop.

The villain of the episode is introduced, which is Vartox (Owain Yeoman). He is responsible for sabotaging the plane and tells another alien, The Commander (Faran Tahir), that a girl stopped the explosion. Vartox puts it together that since Jor-El saved his son, Alura saved her own daughter. It’s then mentioned they have been hiding for too long, and that the “General’s arrival is imminent.” Vartox mission is to eliminate the human operatives, and now Kara has been added to the list.

Kara gets her Supergirl suit and goes on a few missions to save the day. A fire breaks out on top of a building, and when she investigates, she gets shot down by green-colored darts. Kara wakes up on a gurney where Hank Henshaw is introduced (David Harewood). Henshaw is the director of the DEO – Department Of Extranormal Operations. Her sister Alex is an Agent. The green darts were kryptonite. The DEO protects Earth from aliens and alien invasions.

Henshaw explains when Kara’s pod crashed, something else followed her from the Phantom Zone – Fort Rozz, a Kryptonian maximum security prison for aliens, and that the alien convicts have escaped on Earth and are the most dangerous in the galaxy. Henshaw is reluctant to have Kara join them, and off Kara goes.

Back at Catco, James Olsen tells Kara he knows about her, that her cousin sent him to watch out for her, that the first thing her cousin did was save a plane, too. Kara then gets a message from Vartox that only she can hear. Supergirl heads to a power plant on the outside of town where the two battle. Vartox wields some sort of axe made of strange metal (possibly Nth metal?) that can cut Supergirl. The DEO intervenes, and Vartox jumps/almost flies away. Back at the DEO base, they take a piece of metal out of Kara’s shoulder and analyze it.

Back at her apartment, Kara has words with her sister about Alex being an agent of the DEO. Some drama ensues with Alex eventually giving her a container from her pod ship which contains a hologram of her mother, Alura. Alex says to suit up and back to the DEO they go. They convince Henshaw to let Kara help, and then they locate Vartox through use of the axe metal shard energy signature.

Supergirl flies off and battles Vartox. Alex was able to analyze the metal: If it gets superheated, it will explode. Supergirl uses her heat vision, destroying it, which explodes causing Vartox to lose the battle. Vartox takes a piece of the metal and kills himself, but not before telling Kara that she has no idea what’s coming.

Next, Kara talks with James Olsen on the roof where he gives Kara her cousin’s cape. Her cousin is really proud and wanted her to make the decision to be the hero herself, like he did.

Finally – the main Supergirl series villain stands revealed.

Some sort of ship/control room is shown with a woman in black. She’s the General and notes Kara is her niece! It’s Alura’s sister! Actually, it’s Alura’s twin sister as she, too, is played by Laura Benanti! Alura’s sister mentions how she will rule Earth just like how she was supposed to rule Krypton. No one will stand in her way. Supergirl is as much of a threat as her cousin, because she is like Alura, etc.

Alura’s sister then orders Supergirl to be killed, and that no one will stand in her way.

Other info:

The Vartox/aliens want/wanted revenge on Supergirl because Alura was the judge who sent them to the Fort Rozz prison and Phantom Zone.

Winn mentions “Super Friends.”

Kara’s cousin is referred to as the “Man of Steel.”

Alex is a bioengineer and was recruited to the DEO because she lived with Supergirl.

Supergirl has super-hearing, x-ray vision, susceptible to kryptnonite, and can’t see through lead.

It’s possible Alura’s twin sister might be a version of Ursa from the comics?

(hat tip to “Superman is not human” for sending in the info)
