Major networks and comic heroes don't have a good track record. Either they'll fuck up the show and make it awful or cancel it early if it's good.TC wrote:i just know CBS will fuck this up.
oopsies. didn't this also happen with wonder woman? they have to be doing this on purpose at this point, trying to gauge interest & get feedback with the largest focus group possible.Variety wrote:CBS ‘Supergirl’ Pilot Leaks to Piracy Sites
High-quality copies of the pilot for CBS drama “Supergirl” — which isn’t set to air on the Eye until November — apparently leaked onto file-sharing pirate sites early Friday.
The episode is available in up to 1080p HD format and does not contain any evident watermarks, according to piracy-tracking firm Excipio.
The first copies appeared shortly before 3 a.m. ET Friday, according to the firm. As of about 9:30 a.m. ET, the “Supergirl” pilot had been downloaded more than 120,000 times worldwide, per Excipio.
CBS declined to comment.
“Supergirl” is slated to anchor CBS’s lineup on Monday nights for the 2015-16 season. The series stars Melissa Benoist (“Glee,” “Whiplash”) in the title role.
CBS touted “Supergirl” as one of its top new shows at its upfront presentation last week in New York City. The official first-look trailer on YouTube has already been viewed about 11 million times since it was posted May 13.
It’s rare for a pilot for a new TV show to leak out onto piracy sites — especially so far in advance of the premiere date. On the one hand, the early leak of “Supergirl” could put a damper on initial ratings. However, it could also serve to drive audience to the show and build buzz leading up to the fall season. TV networks have released pilots in advance of show debuts as a marketing tool but never this far in advance.
She fights crime in gogo boots and a miniskirt. What's not to love?Alexhead wrote:I'll admit, I got bored about 2 minutes into the trailer. I just don't have much interest in DC properties outside of Batman, it would appear.
I wonder if they're going to have him try to knock up Supergirl like his arc with Power Girl. I hope they at least give him pants.TC wrote:hahahaha, i just found out that vartox is going to be on this show. that was basically DC's complete zed (connery's character from Zardoz) ripoff, right down to the outfit. hahaha, zed on TV. this should be amusing.
It was a cool nod to Flashpoint, which makes me wonder if they're going to go anymore with that at some point.TC wrote: as was future flash telling present flash "no no" when he finally did arrive at his mother's murder scene.

Lol. Flashpoint was the story that set up the latest DC New 52 reboot of their universe. Barry went back in time to save his mother, which altered the timeline so badly that Thomas Wayne was alive and Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman were at war with either other destroying most of the human world in the process, Superman has been captured as a child by the government when he landed and imprisoned, and other changes. At the end (spoilers) he went back in time to prevent himself from altering the timeline, with a scene with his dying mother pretty similar to what the series did. Though in this case it created yet another new timeline, mostly the same as the original but slightly altered so DC could reboot again. Don't worry about it being too long to read, they did a pretty good DC Animated adaptation of it so you can knock it out in under 80 minutes.TC wrote:i don't know anything about it.

Thomas Wayne is Batman, but without the moral center. Bruce was the one who was killed instead, driving Thomas to take violent revenge on criminals. He killed most of the rouges gallery and ended up running the gambling empire of Gotham. Before Barry goes back, Thomas gives him a letter to give to Bruce once the timeline is restored.TC wrote:there's a timeline where thomas wayne is alive but batman still exists?
