It started with almost 13 million viewers but then lost over half of them.

Actually, it didn't, what you don't see in that chart is the DVR numbers which are an additional 3million or so, so it's up around the 10million mark in total viewers if you add live and dvr together.

Superman will join The CW's Supergirl next season.

 

Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg confirmed in a statement received by Variety that DC's most iconic superhero, Superman, would star in the first and second episodes of the new season this fall. They have yet to cast an actor in the role.

 

Superman joins Supergirl just as the show is undergoing some important changes, including moving from CBS to The CW. The move means the show has the potential for even more crossover appearances from other superheroes, including the Flash and Green Arrow.

Hopefully they'll just cast Brandon Routh. Since DCTV already recycles actors in roles across dimensions, it wouldn't be too big a deal to have Clark Kent and Ray Palmer look alike. Especially since they already do ...

Yeah, personally if it's him or just someone else I don't mind.  The bigger story here is that WB is letting them use Superman in a TV show at all.  Sure it's not a Superman TV series, but still, it opens it up to say, other characters showing up as well.  Not the same as their movie versions but hey, it's DC and there's a multiverse.

I'd call that the best news I've heard since

Spoiler

the return of the real Flash in DC Rebirth.

Or you know they could always try to re cast Tom Welling :p
He actually looks the part now 

I don't know if they want to do that, because then it's like they're tying Supergirl to Smallville, which I suppose they can but still, I don't know.  That show went too far off from it's source for my liking, so I'd rather they don't bring It up ever again.

Smallville was good in the beginning when it was about an extraordinary young man's growth into the world's greatest villain.

 

What do you mean the show wasn't about Lex? :huh: It certainly didn't make Clark interesting enough to be worth watching for.

Supergirl Season 2 Adds Lex Luthor's Sister, Maggie Sawyer, Snapper Carr, and More.

 

Supergirl is staffing up for the move to The CW and season two with five more new characters, including two series regulars and three recurring roles. The new characters pull heavily from the pages of DC Comics, and imply some major shifts in the dynamic of the show's current lineup.

 

The two series regulars are Lena Luthor and Nick Farrow. Lena is the sister of Lex Luthor, leaving Metropolis for National City to "get out from under the shadow" of her brother, as TV Line reports. Her age range for casting is listed as 25-35, and she's listed as sexy, smart, and determined. Farrow, meanwhile, is a new "leading man" type and the son of a famous reporter who joins CatCo. "In hanging out with Kara, the hero in Nick might finally come out," reads the official description, but no one named Farrow exists at DC Comics. Hopefully Lena's presence doesn't mean Max Lord is leaving National City as its resident ambiguously-evil genius.

That belt it just too out of place for me, what point is there in having it exactly?   I think the movie suit looks better, or maybe it's the combination of Cavill who's way bigger, more buff, plus the suit that does it.  This dude doesn't look so super, at least not in this shot, looks like supergirl could kick is butt pretty easy actually.  :p

Tyler Hoechlin seems ready for Supergirl S2, and this suit is more like the current Superman Rebirth series comics than the Cavill cinematic suit.

Good choice for Superman - he reminds me of Kirk Alyn, the first actor to play him on screen!

Guardian as season two progresses

The Guardian is headed to National City and the man behind the mask is one that Supergirl fans already know well. Jimmy Olsen himself, Mehcad Brooks, revealed via social media the first image of the CW series Guardian outfit, revealing that its something that we can expect to see him in quite a bit as season two continues. Check it out in full in the gallery viewer below!

These next few episodes are going to make [James] realize that being a photographer is not enough for him, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells DC Comics, So hes going to go on a pretty exciting career trajectory that were really pumped by. James is going to decide that he can no longer sit back and be a sidekick, so hes going to decide to become a vigilante. Hes going to become Guardian, complete with the shield, which is going to cause a massive problem in his relationship with Kara because he has decided not to tell her. Now theres this new masked vigilante, and she has her own feelings about vigilantes, and it becomes a push and pull about who gets to decide who gets to be a hero?

Guardian made his first comic book appearance in 1942s Star-Spangled Comics #7 and theres no hiding his similarity to Marvel Comics famous red, white and blue hero who Kirby had created the previous year. Although Guardian has had a number of men wear the helmet over the years and realities of DC canon, the vigilante hero debuted as a Metropolis cop, Jim Harper, who took to the streets with an indestructible shield to defeat criminals that he felt the law couldnt reach.

Although Olsen himself has never been Guardian in the comics, the two characters do have a close connection. It was in 1971s Supermans Pal Jimmy Olsen #135 that Kirby, as part of his immortal Fourth World saga, re-introduced Guardian to DC lore. This take on the character saw a new Guardian as a clone of the original Jim Harper complete with transferred memories.

Although he did not adopt the Guardian identity, Jim Harper previously appeared on Supergirl, played by Eddie McClintock in the first season episode, Manhunter.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
