The cast and producers of CBS's small-screen take on Supergirl have just finished chatting to reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, and they've revealed a few very interesting new details about the show. First, they confirmed that although Kara's slightly better-known Cousin will factor into the plot, we won't actually see the Man of Steel on screen. Plus, there are currently no plans for an Arrow or The Flash crossover, but they haven't ruled it out completely. We had already heard that though, so let's get to the really juicy stuff.
In addition to the established DC characters we know about, viewers can also expect to see Livewire, Red Tornado, General Lane, and Non pop up in the first 9 episodes. We've had plenty of film and TV appearances for Lane (father of Lois and Lucy) over the years, and Livewire showed up in Smallville, but this will be the first live-action incarnation of Red Tornado. Non is the Kryptonian villain that fought alongside General Zod in Superman II - no word yet on whether he'll be used for the show, though.
What do you think of these additions? Expect casting info fairly soon.
