Melissa Benoist Will Star In Supergirl TV Show From The Makers Of Arrow

The DC Television Universe, which currently consists of Arrow and The Flash, is set to expand with Supergirl this fall, a new TV show that focuses on (SPOILER ALERT) Supergirl. She's a hero from Superman's human-resembling alien species who has similar powers (namely super strength and flying) to the Man Of Steel. There's been a massive hunt for the actress to play the hero, and now Melissa Benoist will be leading the program.

Benoist really left an impression in Whiplash, and I'm happy to see her get a major role like this that's gonna really amp up her profile. Unlike fellow DC shows Arrow and The Flash, Supergirl will air on CBS, meaning this project will be especially high-profile considering they're the biggest of the four major broadcast networks (which consist of CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX). Further casting and plot details will likely be coming very very soon. If I could give one helpful hint to the creators of the show, perhaps her outfit could not expose her entire stomach like most of her comic book costumes do? Her freakishly skinny waistline is very distracting in that kind of attire, so please strive for something higher-quality.
