DC Entertainment Actively Pitching A Supergirl TV Series, With Michael Green?

Quote:
Michael Green is a producer on TV shows including Gotham, American Gods, Smallville, and Heroes, writer on Smallville, Heroes, Gotham, and films such as Green Lantern and the upcoming Flash.

So, you know, he has form.

He also worked with Mike Johnson on the New 52 reboot of Supergirl.

Well, we understand Green is now taking that a little further.

Bleeding Cool has been reliably informed by a comics/Hollywood contact that DC Comics is currently actively pitching Supergirl as a TV series, and Green is attached.

Writing/producing of course. Not actually playing Supergirl. Although, you know….

Well, with Flash, Constantine and Gotham whizzing around, might as well get a little Superness on the screen as well, I guess.

There has been plenty of press about neither Marvel and DC giving any female character a solo movie or TV show of late. But now Marvel have a Jessica Jones Netflix mini-series planned. Could DC Comics be the ones to make it ongoing? And a Supercharacter to boot?

Will anyone bite?

CBS Gives Series Commitment to Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler’s ‘Supergirl’

Quote:
CBS has donned its cape and is ready to conquer the superhero market, giving a series commitment to scribes Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler’s “Supergirl.”

“Supergirl,” which is based on characters from DC Comics, comes from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and is exec produced by Berlanti, Adler and Sarah Schechter. It’s based on the story of Kara Zor-El, who, like her famous cousin, escaped Krypton amid its destruction. She’s been keeping her powers a secret since arriving on Earth, but now — at age 24 — she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.

The project gained much fanfare when news broke of its development earlier this month. Berlanti, who has seen success with the superhero genre with his CW show “Arrow” and, presumably also with its upcoming spinoff “The Flash,” has stated that he understands there’s a dearth of female-led shows of this genre, telling Variety “we’re well past due for those kind of characters in film and TV.”

With this purchase, CBS has ensured that all the broadcast channels are either airing or developing a show based on comicbook characters. Aside from Berlanti’s CW properties, ABC has “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” and its upcoming female-led spinoff “Agent Carter.” Fox and NBC are unspooling “Gotham” and “Constantine” this season, respectively — both of which are based on DC characters. This winter, the CW will also unveil “iZombie,” a procedural based on a title from DC’s Vertigo imprint. Fox also recently gave a put pilot commitment to “Lucifer,” which also sources material from Vertigo.

Cable and digital markets are also getting into the act, with TNT offering a pilot production order for “Titans,” which is based on younger characters in DC’s universe, and Netflix partnering with Marvel on a hefty package that includes four shows based on different characters from that universe and a crossover miniseries. Still, the most successful current show of the genre is AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” which is based on an Image Comics series and continues to break ratings records for the channel.

Wanna bet that Helen Slater at least gets a small part in at least one episode?

If it was based on the Silver Age Supergirl, orphan etc. in a small town, I'd watch it. Depending on the casting.

"SUPERGIRL" TO INCLUDE NEW VERSIONS OF JIMMY OLSEN, CAT GRANT AND MORE

Quote:
It looks like there are more "Supergirl" parts being cast outside of the upcoming CBS series' two female leads. TVLine has reported that four additional series-regular roles are currently being cast by David Rapaport, the casting director for previous DC Comics shows "Arrow" and "The Flash."

The quartet of new characters include Cat Grant, James Olsen, WInslow 'Wynn' Schott and Hank Henshaw, almost all of which have undergone varying levels of makeovers to fit into the potential CBS series.

Cat is described as a woman in her 40s and the founder of media conglomerate called CatCo. The casting information says the producers are open to any ethnicities for the part, which is described as "J.Lo by way of Anna Wintour." Kara Danvers, Supergirl's civilian identity, will be Cat's personal assistant when she's not saving lives.

Like with Cat Grant, the casting directors are open to ethnicity when it comes to CatCo photographer James Olsen. The character is described as smart, worldly, attractive and in his late 20s or early 30s. Olsen will be a bit of an alpha male in the series and also the object of Kara's affection.

CatCo programmer Winslow Schott is described as a twentysomething genius and "Comic-Con stalwart." He will be Kara's next door neighbor and develop a crush on her, which could lead to some awkward encounters should he ever give into the villainous tendencies of his comic book counterpart, Toyman.

Lastly, Hank Henshaw is described as a 40-year-old CIA agent with more than a passing interest in extraterrestrials. He will be the head of DEO -- the Department of Extra-Normal Operations -- and take a special interest in Supergirl once the hero stands revealed.

Greg Berlanti ("Arrow," "The Flash") and Ali Adler ("No Ordinary Family") wrote the "Supergirl" pilot and will also executive produce the series.

Sorry if it's racist... but Jimmy Olsen's signature look is his red (or at least reddish) hair and freckles.

It's not racist. It's true.
