Identity Of First Villain (Who "Has Battled Kara's Cousin") In SUPERGIRL TV Series Revealed
Which iconic DC Comics villain will Supergirl be battling it out with in the first episode of the upcoming CBS series? Um, the Lumberjack? (we don't know who he is either) According to TV Line, he'll first appear in the pilot episode of the show which stars Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El/Danvers and Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen. Apparently, they're now looking for an actor similar to, "Rory McCann, the 6-foot-6 actor from Game of Thrones".
Regardless, the description they give is very interesting as it reveals that he's a "big, burly monster of a man, who has battled Kara’s cousin -that's SUPERMAN! - in the past and shows up to ascertain her level of power, on behalf of an unseen superior." So Superman DOES exist in this world, and there will obviously be some references to him.
