E! Online confirms that Warner Bros. and DC Comics are indeed pitching a Supergirl TV series to various networks. The news that it was in the works first came to our attention yesterday. Gotham producer and comic book writer Michael Green is attached, but insiders caution that, "there is no deal yet in place, however the series is not expected to go to the CW, who was first pitched the project, and who, of course, houses both Arrow and The Flash." It sounds like they passed on Supergirl then, perhaps because they're satisfied with the success of Arrow and are taking a risk with the CGI heavy first season of The Flash this year. It's a shame though as adding a hero like Kara Zor-El to Oliver Queen and Barry Allen's world would have been great to see. If NBC decide to give Supergirl a chance, seeing her meet up with John Constantine could be interesting...
UPDATE: Deadline have now weighed in, and they have a few more details about Warner Bros. and DC Comics' Supergirl TV series. Apparently, Michael Green has no involvement, and it is instead being developed by Greg Berlanti (The Flash) and Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family). It's set to be a, "new interpretation of the the Supergirl character and her story," with Adler writing. Geoff Johns is also expected to be involved, but it's not yet clear in what capacity that will be. They add: "The Supergirl show doesn’t have a name yet. I hear the producers are considering several options that need to be cleared, including Super and Girl." The Hollywood Reporter clarifies this by stating that, "the project will not be called Supergirl." What do you guys think?
