I like the look, it's the more traditional design with the newer Man of Steel colors, it fits with the superman design well.

 

As for the alternatives, not going to happen, no need to show more skin just for the heck of it. If they bring supergirl to the movies then I actually hope she's older and not a teen, give me, say, 25-28yo superwoman.

Im gunna watch this just for Kara shes cute as hell :p

But yeah Mad Hatter said it best with the teaser showing most the season

Hardly, just the pilot and obligatory setups, and her boss Cat Grant has been a PITA for decades so her attitude fits. I'll give it a few episodes for a typical goofy 20ish girl to begin growing up.

Hate it or like it, things get really interesting if they do crossovers with Arrow and Flash, even if it's on a different channel, it's the same companies behind both of them.

 

Also, maybe putting this on CBS, and not the CW could be because, as MoS hinted at, we could get supergirl in the next MoS movie?   While they might crossover on the TV with Arrow and Flash, having it on CBS and not the CW like the other two gives WB enough buffer to also use the character in the movies without complicating things.  Though, I honestly don't get why it'd be hard to just link the movies with the tv series now, supergirl could be the show that does it actually.

Very forced dialog and bad comedic timing. Will watch a few episodes before deciding. But this doesn't look that promising. Why do they have to make that much of her being female? She's a superhero made into a girl that want to succeed. Very generic american dream from that preview. It's boring and bland. Supergirl can be just as good as Superman can with little to no forced girly issues being thrown in your face.

How on Earth could this crossover with MoS universe? The tone couldn't be more different between the two.

 

Anyway, looks pretty cheap and very cheesy. They can still pull of an entertaining show out of it, if they're self-aware, but I'll pass.

You should re-read what I said, I never said it'd crossover with the MoS movie universe, I'd said they'd be able to use the character, supergirl, in a future MoS movie, there's a difference.   This supergirl tv series could crossover with Arrow and Flash though, which is what I expect more.   Having "supergirl" on CBS and not the CW would just be because WB/DC wants to use the character in a movie, putting it on CW means you tie it to the other two shows at the hip, I'm guessing they don't want to, even though it's the same companies behind all 3 tv shows so they could do a crossover between the three or not.

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
