Both KSiteTV and Comicbook.com are reporting that actor Faran Tahir has joined the cast of Supergirl as a mysterious character known only as The Commander. The only other hint we have about his true identity is the description that comes with the report: Apparently he'll be "an alien military expert leading the forces aligned against Supergirl." Now, that's being reported as a military expert that also happens to be an alien, but we're not so sure. Along with Tahir's appearance, this is bound to open up a lot of speculation as to whether he's really playing one of several established DC characters -- if alien, could he be Martian Manhunter? If human, he certainly looks like Lex Luthor. What do you guys think?

Great actor, he was my choice for Black Adam. So it's great to see he will be in a Superhero show.

@soforizo

I know you are better than that........give the show a shot before burning it with fire.

Heck everyone on this site was laughing with the casting of The Flash............and now we have fans begging for Grant to be the Flash in the DCCU.

Also we need to keep in mind this is going to be on freakin CBS so it will be top notch quality!!!!!! Look at what the Flash as accomplished on the CW.

LMAO! You have a point...it was funny that Nate had to take that menu option off of the main page because one dude was posting porn gifs over and over. In fact his avatar was a porn gif!

That trailer was off the chain. I have to say I like the respect WB/DC and Marvel are giving each other by not trying to one up each other when something drops.
