Lex Luthor’s name has often been mentioned in the first few seasons of Supergirl, but Superman’s arch-nemesis has never been seen on The CW’s hit super-series…until now. Kara will officially come face-to-face with her cousin’s most famous foe this season — although he won’t be appearing in the highly-anticipated “Elseworlds” crossover event.
A little bit of a good news / eyebrow-raising news situation here, as Warner Bros. and DC Films are reportedly plotting a Supergirl movie (yay!) from the writer of The Cloverfield Paradox (hmm…). It’s still early days, however, and given the number of writers typically involved in your average blockbuster, it seems likely that this iteration of the script will be one of many.
We’d always wondered how long The CW could keep folding DC dramas into its lineup, and the schedule might finally have cracked. Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow will begin trading timeslots in 2018, pushing Supergirl’s finale all the way into June.
If Supergirl Season 1 was all about Kara learning to be her Super-self, and vice-versa for Season 2, Season 3 might abandon duality altogether. Supergirl is done with her human alter-ego in a new Season 3 trailer, and out for some serious Blood(sport).
Supergirl got short shrift in last year’s Arrow-verse crossover, but this fall’s full-fledged four-series event with Flash and Legends of Tomorrow will more than make up for it. Not only will the Supergirl cast get to take part, but Kara and Alex are apparently central to all four hours of the November event.
It’ll be a cold day in hell when Batman joins the ranks of Arrow, Flash, Supergirl or Legends of Tomorrow on The CW, but LEGO has a way of bringing everyone together. See for yourself, as a new promo features the CW stars voicing their LEGO counterparts opposite Will Arnett’s LEGO Batman as part of a weeklong promotion.
CBS will welcome five new shows to its schedule this fall, including the highly-awaited Supergirl, the comedy Angel From Hell, starring former Glee star Jane Lynch, and a small-screen adaptation of the 2011 film Limitless, which will feature star Bradley Cooper making occasional appearances.
