  • "Supergirl" on CBS

    Been watching a few episodes of Supergirl on CBS, which airs on Monday nights.

    In this TV series they sort of change the nature of the character from the comics. In both versions she is the first cousin of Superman (their fathers are brothers). In the comics version a part of Krypton survives the explosion and years later Supergirl is born on that part.

    In this TV series version, Supergirl is born 13 years before Superman, when Krypton explodes they send two small rockets to Earth, the first one is Superman's rocket, the second is Supergirl's rocket. Somehow the second rocket is caught in Krypton's explosion and gets trapped in another dimension where time stands still, a couple of decade or so pasts and Supergirl's rocket gets free and finally gets to Earth, where her cousin is now an adult Superman.

    Superman then leaves her with a family he knows pretty well and they raise her as one of their daughters. The series takes place about 12 to 13 years after Supergirl comes to Earth and has a day job working for Catco in a place called National City.

    Supergirl moved to The CW network for Fall 2016. Other changes in the series include:
    • Change of Kara's job from Assistant to Cat Grant to a reporter
    • The character of Superman appearing as an actor and not a far way figure
    • Cat Grant is not in the series (this season at least)
    • The DEO headquarters being in the city and not some place in the desert
    • Winn working for the DEO
    • The additional of Mon-El as a supporting character
