UPDATE: CBS Officially Announces Who Will Play SUPERGIRL In Upcoming TV Series

There have been a lot of rumours and a lot of speculation about who will play Supergirl in CBS' planned TV series, and the network have finally made it official.

CBS have confirmed that Whiplash star Melissa Benoist will play Supergirl in the upcoming TV series of the same name. Other credits include Homeland and The Good Wife, but like The Flash's Grant Gustin, Benoist is pehaps best known for the popular singalong series Glee. In Supergirl, she will play Kara Zor-El, who escaped her home planet of Krypton amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she has concealed the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now, at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. A number of key roles still need to be cast. Thoughts on this latest small screen Supergirl?  

UPDATE: Here are some Tweets from Benoist and her fellow DC TV superheroes, along with a glimpse of her transformation from brunette to blonde...she's looking great, don't you think?
