Supergirl Casting For Jimmy Olsen, Cyborg Superman And More

CAT GRANT | The project is eyeing females in their 40s, open ethnicity, to play the founder of CatCo, a media conglomerate that Cat built from the ground up. Kara (Supergirl?s mild-mannered alter ego) will work as a personal assistant to Cat, who is described as ?J.Lo by way of Anna Wintour.?

JAMES OLSEN | In his late 20s/early 30s, open ethnicity, James is a smart, worldly and (duh) attractive photographer for CatCo. Though an alpha male, his salt-of-the-earth nature elicits a huge ol? crush from Kara.

WINSLOW ?WYNN? SCHOTT | This twentysomething tech whiz/Comic-Con stalwart toils for CatCo as a programmer, unaware of his own (toying?) potential. Unware of her secret, he carries a torch for Kara, whom he lives next door to.

HANK HENSHAW | As an upstart CIA agent, Hank grew obsessed with intergalactic intel. Now in his 40s and lording over the DEO (Department of Extra-Normal Operations), he is on high alert when Supergirl reveals herself, worried that her otherworldly abilities pose a threat to humankind.

I'm really liking the direction of DC's TV universe and hope to see it continue with Supergirl. It's just a shame that Man Of Steel was so bad and is serving as the basis for DC's movie universe. Marvel has nailed the movies and DC has nailed the TV series.

Not every marvel movie has been great, they all make money so it's fine in the end.   The two Hulk movies, meh.  The Thor movies aren't really that great either, first captain America has it's issues but they made up for it with the sequel.  Iron Man 2?  Not great to say the least, and people weren't fans of Iron man 3 and emo Tony, or however you want to call him.   In the end, just like MoS, like them or hate them, they made enough money and fit into the bigger picture.   MoS is no different in this regard.

Because there's a big crossover in their stories?

 

Yeah, this shouldn't surprise people in the least.  Heck I hope when it comes to the movies and the MoS sequel or the JL movie that they bring her in.  I think a MoS sequel would be best, maybe following along the lines of what they did with one of the animated superman movies, think it was the braniac one with her in it.  I liked that one would make for a good live action movie with a few changes.

I really don't think she would come to TV full time. Her love is movies, but then again she was quoted as saying she just loves being behind the camera. Who knows?
May have to Tweet her and see what she says :)

Greg Berlanti Says Supergirl Could Enter the Worlds of THE FLASH and ARROW

The show will follow 24-year-old Kara Zor-El, Superman?s cousin, and with a twist that that could melt fanboy brains, Berlanti says it?s possible this Supergirl could enter the worlds of Arrow and The Flash.?

Claire Holt In The Running To Play Supergirl

28ckhar.png

According to The Wrap, Claire Holt is among those currently testing for the role of Supergirl in the planned CBS series. She's best known for role in The CW shows mentioned above, and as you can see from the image here, she certainly looks the part! If Holt nabs the role (there's no word on whether or not she's a frontrunner), she'll play Kara Zor-El, a character 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. Gerg Berlanti (Arrow) and Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family) are writing and executive producing.

I never understood why they call it "Supergirl". She's never been a "girl" AFAIK, but a "woman". Superwoman sounds better and more grown up. If Supergirl's supposed to be 22, that makes her a woman, I consider a "girl" to be a woman under 18... Even Helen Slater was 20 in 1984.

 

I hope they DON'T use the DC52 costume, it's AWFUL. It looks like something that primary school kids tacked together in a craft lesson :( The 1970's one with hotpants, or the 1990 one showing her midriff would be nice, especially if she has a toned body. My lil lady does Martial Arts and looks kick-ass in her 90's Supergirl costume at conventions with her toned abs, she can kick butt, literally. If they want a hot japanese goddess to play the part I'll put her forward, make guys jealous of me :)

 

Heck, even Helen Slater's '84 film costume, but NOT DC52. If they do I will never forgive DC!

WB should've went with The CW because the show would be "grittier" like Arrow & The Flash, because then crossovers would be guaranteed, with it airing on CBS crossovers may happen but aren't guaranteed, I have a feeling that Supergirl will be more like Batman Forever as well as Batman & Robin.

      And Microsoft got walloped on here for what they were charging for the new Surface book. Not looking as bad now. This was inevitable as they have to maintain those Apple margins.

      Now 8GB of ram looks even worse in the Neo. I'm so happy I purchased 128GB of DDR 4 when I did.... paid $174. Upgraded my parents laptop to 32GB around the same time for $48. Luckily I have a TON of spare laptops. So i'm good on laptops for a while. I also have a lot of desktops too that I could use if i had to. Lets just hope nothing happens to my main 4 monitor couch workstation.

      I will keep my current devices for several years... no planning in upgrading until these devices stop working. Too pricey.
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has raised the U.S. prices of several MacBook and iPad models, including the MacBook Neo, which it launched for $599 less than four months ago. The company’s cheapest laptop now starts at $699, while some MacBook Pro configurations have increased by $300. The changes affect the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Apple has not changed the hardware or storage included with these models, so customers are simply paying more for the same configurations. Here is how the new US pricing compares with the previous starting prices: Product Previous price New price Increase MacBook Neo $599 $699 $100 13-inch MacBook Air, 512GB $1,099 $1,299 $200 14-inch MacBook Pro, 1TB $1,699 $1,999 $300 16-inch MacBook Pro $2,699 $2,999 $300 11-inch iPad Air, 128GB $599 $749 $150 13-inch iPad Air, 128GB $799 $949 $150 11-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $999 $1,199 $200 13-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $1,299 $1,499 $200 The updated prices are already appearing on Apple’s U.S. online store. The MacBook Neo increase will probably attract the most attention. Apple introduced the laptop in March for $599, pitching it as a more affordable Mac for students and buyers considering Windows laptops or Chromebooks. It uses an A18 Pro processor and originally undercut Dell’s new $699 XPS 13 by $100. Following the increase, the two laptops now have the same starting price. The M5 MacBook Air has also lost the price Apple promoted when it launched in March. The 13-inch model arrived with 512GB of storage for $1,099, while Apple’s store now lists the MacBook Air range as starting at $1,299. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip and 1TB of storage has gone from $1,699 to $1,999. Apple has made similar changes to its iPads. The recently released M4 iPad Air, which launched at the same $599 starting price as its predecessor, now starts at $749 for the 11-inch version. The 13-inch version has risen from $799 to $949. The iPad Pro increases are larger in dollar terms. Apple’s 11-inch M5 iPad Pro now starts at $1,199, up from $999, while the 13-inch version has moved from $1,299 to $1,499. Both base models still include 256GB of storage. Apple blamed the increases on the rapidly rising cost of DRAM and NAND flash, which provide system memory and device storage. The company told Reuters that it had tried to shield customers from the increases but could no longer absorb them. “We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly,” Apple said. Tim Cook had already warned that price increases were coming. Cook said Apple’s existing component inventory had softened the immediate impact, but that higher memory costs would increasingly affect the company after the June quarter. Much of the pressure comes from the construction of AI data centers. Memory manufacturers are directing more production toward high-margin server products, leaving PC, tablet, and smartphone makers competing for the remaining supply. Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary or whether further increases are planned. For now, the changes show that even Apple’s purchasing power has not been enough to keep the AI-driven memory shortage away from consumer devices.
