There was a very interesting Easter Egg in Man of Steel which pointed to Supergirl becoming part of the DC Cinematic Universe, but does Kara Zor-El's future actually lie on the small screen? If Bleeding Cool are to be believed, then yes, as DC Comics are said to be actively pitching Supergirl as a TV series. Producer Michael Green is said to be attached both in that role and as a writer, and his credits include Gotham, Heroes, Smallville and the Green Lantern movie. Interestingly, he also worked on the Supergirl comic book during the early days of "The New 52" reboot. We'll have to wait and see for now, but The CW would certainly make a good home for the character if it means she meets up with The Arrow and The Flash!

Supergirl would be hard to do as a movie, at least stand alone at this point but I think they could've used her in a MoS sequel.  As far as TV goes, I think it's possible, specially on the CW along with the rest.

Agreed, I kinda hoped that she'd be in the cinematic-universe because the hints were pretty neat!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of as well, all the hints in the ship.  It's still possible, heck maybe work her into the JL, probably for a 2nd JL movie though because you'd have to bring her into the universe through a MoS sequel.  Heck, why not borrow from the animated movie they did, forget the name, where they're fighting brainiac?  Would make for a good MoS movie IMO.

Yeah, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (which is an adaptation of the comic-book! :D). That story would be quite awesome for a live-action version.

Deadline have now weighed in, and they have a few more details about Warner Bros. and DC Comics' Supergirl TV series. Apparently, Michael Green has no involvement, and it is instead being developed by Greg Berlanti (The Flash) and Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family). It's set to be a, "new interpretation of the the Supergirl character and her story," with Adler writing. Geoff Johns is also expected to be involved, but it's not yet clear in what capacity that will be. They add: "The Supergirl show doesn?t have a name yet. I hear the producers are considering several options that need to be cleared, including Super and Girl." The Hollywood Reporter clarifies this by stating that, "the project will not be called Supergirl."

Well, following in the footsteps of the other shows I'm not surprised if it's called something else.   Regardless I'd much rather see her in a MoS movie, not that having the TV shows stops WB from doing that, they have final say and little the tv producers can do about it.

For those unfamiliar with the New 52 Supergirl, this 2011 USA Today article tells about her personality and starting point.

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/comics/story/2011-09-19/Supergirl-gets-a-teenage-makeover-with-new-comic-series/50467308/1?fullsite=true

OTOH, the Man of Steel continuity has her being an explorer on the ship found in the Canadian arctic. The MoS film tease was when Clark found a dead Kryptonian in a hibernation pod there was an open pod in the background. The rest was covered in the MoS prequel comics.

The DC TV shows are all pretty terrible so I wouldn't expect much from this.  Smallville, Arrow and Flash all seem to be aimed at a 90210 audience with weak plots and the look and feel is just bad.  Gotham is the exception but the other shows have left such a bad taste in my mouth that I keep expecting it to fail too.

You just have to look at what TV station the shows are on, Arrow and Flash are both on the CW, Gotham is a Fox show, each one caters to different viewers.    Regardless, they do well, Smallville stuck around for what? 10 seasons?     It's seems WB is doing well with the TV shows, now I just hope they can do well with their movie universe, MoS was a good first step.

Casting is now underway for the Supergirl pilot, and per TV Line, there are two lead roles that they?re looking for first: Kara Zor-El, aka Kara Danvers, and Alexandra ?Alex? Danvers. For the role of Kara, aka Supergirl, producers are looking at Caucasian females ages 22 to 26 to play 24. Here?s how they describe the character:

 

As the series? mythology goes, Kara at age 12 was sent from her dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where she was taken in by the Danvers, a foster family who taught her to be careful with her extraordinary powers. After repressing said skills for more than a decade, Kara is forced to bust out her super moves in public during an unexpected disaster. Energized by her heroism for the first time in her life, she begins embracing her abilities in the name of helping the people of her city, earning herself a super moniker along the way.

As for Alex, Kara?s ?gorgeous, brilliant, science-minded? foster sister, here?s that character breakdown:

 

Growing up, Alex was partly jealous of her sibling yet also fascinated by her abilities, prompting Alex to learn as much as she could about alien anthropology, sociology and culture. Today, Alex works for a secret government organization and, alongside her heroic sis, will face many challenges, both mundane and super.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
