"But now, at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be."
Could there be some backlash at a 24 year old woman being called Supergirl?
Tough call, but a good point. I do like the idea of her having a stepsister...that's something we haven't seen on the comics side of things so it might be nice to have a new take on things.
Maybe they just decided not to go the whole Dawson route and have 30-year olds playing 18?

Maybe Chloe will be coming back.

Don't say that like its a bad thing! lol. If she played her cards right he could be my friend...
I would think there would need to be a lot more that would go into the decision of casting someone in a lead TV role than just "standing in Times Square for 4 hours". Haha.
According to The Sun actress Gemma Atkinson is in the running to play Supergirl. While I can appreciate her... talent and ability, I don't think she has the right look for a Supergirl.

I think I would agree. Perfectly suitable for Power Girl though.
This is being widely reported, but FWIW, the Sun is a tabloid and not everything they report is accurate.

I had no idea who she is... looked her up. Yikes!
I agree, not the right look. And probably a little too old. She's 30.

Power Girl, sure.
Although she reminds me of the "actress" in Supergirl XX for some reason.

I had to do research as well. The picture in Wikipedia wasn't that. I scoped out boobpedia following that bikini picture. With her enhancements to 34F, she's definitely more suited for Power Girl.

Is it pronounced Gemma with a hard "G" or Jemma with a soft "g"? She is a bit old for Supergirl. I like the Power Girl idea. She's a Brit, right? Can she do an American Accent?

At the TCA press tour earlier this month, CBS entertainment chairman Nina Tassler told critics the new Warner Bros.-produced series version of Supergirl will be a crime procedural (naturally). “The beauty of it is now with shows like Good Wife and Madam Secretary, you can have serialized story elements woven into a case of the week,” Tassler said. “She’s a crime solver, so she’s going to have to solve a crime. She’s going to get a bad guy.”

Why is that bad? Flash is essentially a procedural with serialized elements.

@Matt has often shared his dislike of procedurals.
And Flash isn't so much a procedural as a "Boy meets villain. Boy gets ass kicked by villain. Boy mopes. Boy gets pep talk. Boy beats villain." show.

Actually I'm good with that. I had no plans to watch the series since I initially heard they were working on a Supergirl series.

Not that there's anything wrong with that! :)
Actually, my dislike reflects the context. When it's something like creating stock characters & throwing them into a cliche show.
I like the Power Girl idea. She's a Brit, right? Can she do an American Accent?
Why must a Kryptonian have an American accent?
Yes, because Kryptonians are real and therefore should be accurately portrayed. Otherwise Krypton would be offended and we just don't need an interplanetary incident.
Give her a Scottish accent that will require sub-titles.

Ultimately, though, I bought Slater's version more. It lacked the CW character tainting.

Whoever they get, I'll watch it. :)
Melissa Benoist cast as Kara!
Keeping hopes high and expectations low.
