Supergirl offers relatable vision of girl power
SCOTT COLLINS
Los Angeles Times
Supergirl is tired.
When she changes into
her caped costume, Kara
Danvers stops being the
mild-mannered coffeefetcher at a posh media
company and emerges as
the nearly invincible
woman able to, say, fly at
supersonic speeds and save
a plunging jetliner before
it crashes. She is Supergirl,
the main attraction in CBS’
new retelling of the DC
Comics franchise, and this
time she’s played by a beautiful former Glee costar
named Melissa Benoist. The
series premières Monday
on CBS.
Supergirl is bulletproof,
but the real-life 26-year-old
who flies around in her
blue-and-red tights all day
could have used a nap by
the time 4 p.m. rolled
around the last Monday in
August. Benoist had tumbled out of bed at her Studio
City home by 5:30 a.m.,
reported to the Warner
Bros. lot in Burbank a halfhour later, then headed
straight to makeup before
the start of a very long day
before the cameras.
“I’m so tired,” she said
during a production break,
tipping back on a sofa in the
office of Kara’s boss, a
media magnate played by
former Ally McBeal star
Calista Flockhart, who was
not on set that day. There
was no red cape in sight:
The office scene that was
being shot called for
Benoist to wear a modest
brown sweater and cream-
coloured skirt with tights
and boots.
CBS is taking a huge roll
of the dice with Supergirl,
putting an expensive,
effects-laden comic-book
fantasy in prime time amid
ongoing audience declines
for TV, not to mention a glut
of superhero tales on
screens large and small.
Fox’s recent movie flop
with Fantastic Four proves
that not even an established
hero franchise is a sure
thing.
But the comics genre can
still pack a crowd when the
right project comes along.
CBS’ sister network the CW
has done well with Arrow
and The Flash — two previous entries from Supergirl
executive producer Greg
Berlanti — and ABC is
headed into the third season
Kara Danvers stars in Supergirl, premièring Monday.
of Marvel’s Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D.
The twist for Supergirl
is that it promises viewers
a relatable vision of female
empowerment. In plain-
clothes, young Kara is
a typical 20-something
woman, struggling with
an entry-level job while
trying to master the mating
dance (one love interest
