A Closer Look: Supergirl – “Worlds Finest”

After a season of hoping and waiting, we finally got to see a Crossover between The Flash and Supergirl. Considering both Grant Gustin (The Flash) and Melissa Benoist (Supergirl) both used to be on Glee together and are the bubbliest of the Berlanti-Kriesberg superhero shows, this crossover made perfect sense. With The Flash’s ability to…

A Closer Look: Supergirl – “Manhunter”

After last week’s episode “Falling” – the greatest Supergirl episode yet – this week’s episode not only keep up the pace by showing all the repercussions of those events; but also by giving us a ton of both historical and character-driven backstories for J’Onn, Alex and Kara. This week was all about fitting in and…

A Closer Look: Supergirl – “Falling”

One thing that Supergirl as a series has been able to do is pair incredibly powerful stories/lessons while also invoking an impressive understanding and respect for Superman history – especially Superman: The Animated Series. Now whether this is a deliberate attempt or just the end result of two series following the spirit of the comics is besides the point. Either way, Supergirl has become something that fans new and old can get behind and fall in love with. So it’s only right that this week’s episode tackled one of the most troubling and heart wrenching Superman storylines/themes – what happens when they go bad?

A Closer Look: Supergirl – “Solitude”

This week’s Supergirl brought a very familiar place – and somewhat face – into the fold as Supergirl headed to the Fortress of Solitude to devise a plan to stop Indigo (aka Brainiac 8). This episode was all about continuing the drama from week’s prior, while also setting up some new and unexpected twists. So…

A Closer Look: Supergirl – “Bizarro”

After set up after set up, we finally got the long awaited Supergirl vs Bizarro showdown! Now contrary to what some might think, YES that is Bizarro. There is indeed a Bizarro version of Supergirl and since we haven’t met a Bizarro version of Superman in this universe yet, it only makes sense for this…

A Closer Look: Supergirl – “Childish Things”

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any heavier, last night’s Supergirl dropped a bombshell. No no, not Winn finally confessing his love for Kara. Nor Lucy Lane teaming up with Cat Grant. But rather Maxwell Lord discovering Supergirl’s identity – and potentially MUCH more in the episodes to come. So let’s use our X-Ray…

A Closer Look: Supergirl – “Blood Bonds”

Supergirl returned this week after a very short Winter Hiatus, which actually worked quite well considering how the MidSeason Finale literally left off ‘in media res’. Though the most important thing about this week’s MidSeason Premier is how it represents the line of NEW Supergirl episodes that were created beyond the initial Pilot run. From…
