‘Supergirl’ Rises To The Occasion In New Trailer

Move out Superman, Supergirl is here!

CBS revealed the new trailer at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills earlier today.

The minute-long video serves as an abridged version of Supergirl‘s first trailer, focusing on Kara’s (Melissa Benoist) midair rescue of a plane — and the consequences that come with it.

During Supergirl‘s TCA panel, executive producer Greg Berlanti addressed initial criticism of the series, including negative reactions to Kara’s Supergirl costume and the somewhat controversial casting of Mehcad Brooks as photog Jimmy Olsen.

“We experience it with any show we introduce. What’s interesting to us is we have a similar formula for all shows,” Berlanti explained. “[When we revealed] the costume for the Green Arrow, there was initial conversation about that. It’s a healthy dialogue — anything that gets people talking about the show in this environment and gets people to check it out.”

Chief creative officer of DC Entertainment Geoff Johns added: “People have so much passion for this kind of genre, and they’re adapting to this lifestyle. It’s a win no matter what.”

Supergirl premieres Monday, Oct 26 at 8:30/7:30c, and will move to its regular slot on Mondays at 8 on November 2.
