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 :)

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.

    • Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has its own official Media Creation Tool used for making bootable USB media, there are some popular third-party utilities as well which offer additional options like bypassing system requirements, Microsoft Account creation, and more. One of these is Ventoy, and the software has received its latest update today. In fact, the app actually got a slew of updates over the last couple of days, three version releases in total, to be specific. The first release, version 1.1.13, was pulled as there was some unspecified error in the update, and as such, the corrected version 1.1.14 was pushed out. Following that on very short notice, 1.1.15 was published as well. For those unfamiliar, Ventoy is an open-source utility that lets users create a bootable USB drive once and then simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD, or EFI files onto it without repeatedly formatting the drive. It supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot modes, Secure Boot, and a wide range of operating systems, making it one of the most versatile tools in the category. The biggest change in version 1.1.14 is an updated Secure Boot shim file aimed at resolving the UEFI CA 2023 issue, which is basically a compatibility problem that has affected Secure Boot environments on some systems. If you recall, we reported about severe boot issues on HP devices following the release of updated Secure Boot 2023 keys. For anyone who may not be aware, back in early 2024, Microsoft announced that it was updating Secure Boot keys as they were going to become 15 years old in 2026, which is also when they are set to expire. As such, the new 2023 certificates have been rolling out with the newest Windows 11 updates. Updated boot manager and Secure Boot certificates are crucial for protection against malware like bootkits. These are mandatory updates. Alongside that, the VentoyPlugson graphical plugin configurator was updated in sync with the release. The update also introduces a new VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option within the Global Control plugin, giving users more flexibility in managing Secure Boot behavior. Ventoy has also received a fix for a startup issue when Secure Boot was disabled. Microsoft does officially allow users to boot systems without Secure Boot as long as the PC is Secure Boot capable. The full changelog is given below: Update secure boot shim file to solve the UEFI CA 2023 issue. The new release use a new CA, so you need to enroll the new key for the first boot time. VentoyPlugson update synchronously. Global control plugin add a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option. Fix the boot issue when Secure Boot is disabled in the UEFI firmware. You can download the latest version of the app here on Ventoy's official GitHub repo or from Neowin software stories.

      Windows 11 is fine, no issues on any of the machines I've run it on since release. The stricter security requirements are a good thing, sometimes the baseline needs to change and people will winge, but it is what it is. Happened with the move from 9x to NT - broke compatability Happened with XP SP2 when security started to become a serious consideration Certainly happend with Vista that brought in UAC, the concept of not running as admin (something that has been the norm in Linux/Unix from pretty much the start) and a completely new driver stack. Windows 11 will probably get looked back at as the point where even consumer and SMB IT was dragged kicking and screaming into a somewhat secure by default configuration.

      Bluestacks has been emulating Android on Windows for fifteen years. It's janky and riddled with ads though, so WSA looked like it was going to be a huge improvement over the emulator experience. Too bad Microsoft dropped the ball on that.

      The world is larger then your small viewpoint. Plenty of scientists care about this, especially those involved in space.
