Supergirl: Lynda Carter's Character To Tackle Immigration Issues

 

Playing the President of the United States, Carter will be trading in her spangled Wonder Woman ensemble for a smart business suit befitting of a world leader come October. And, in a recent interview, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg has revealed some of what Carter will be tackling next season.

 

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Andrew said Carter’s character will be battling immigration issues with the Alien Amnesty Act. “She very much believes in this cause, which is going to put her in danger - which is going to necessitate Supergirl protecting her,” the producer explained.

 

Andrew also said the team behind Supergirl were very excited to have Carter join the show's growing cast for Season 2. “We can’t believe she said yes,” he gushed. Other talent has also signed on to the series for next season as Tyler Hoechlin will suit up as Superman while actors like Chris Wood, Sharon Leal, Ian Gomez, Katie McGrath, and Floriana Lima have also been cast.

lol, they're not even trying to hide their agenda

Putting Supergirl in a position where she has to save Lynda Carter's character every week, you mean...?

 

;)

 

Pft - superhero shows and movies based on children's characters should only be about explosions and punching. Fancy trying to inject a bit of the real world in this kind of stuff, the nerve of them.

Supergirl EP On Alex's Feelings Towards Superman

 

It turns out not everyone is clamoring to see Clark become a bigger part of Supergirl's life.

 

“Alex has been everything to Kara; she’s her family. Alex has a little bit of a chip on her shoulder about Clark. She loves him and he’s family, but he left Kara on their doorstep. Kara is so excited to see Clark and so excited to be with him, it’s almost a little bit like Alex feels taken for granted, because she’s the family member who’s put in the time. It sets up an interesting conflict between her and Kara in the first couple of episodes.”

 

Clark is family, sure, but like with any family that doesn't mean they don't drive you nuts half the time, and it will be interesting to see those family dynamics at play in season 2. Even with Clark at the ready, the crew of Supergirl will still have their hands full with the new addition of Dichen Lachman, who will be playing the character of Roulette. Roulette runs a metahuman fight ring, and both Supergirl and Superman are in her sights as future competitors.

Supergirl Season 2 Premiere Review: One of the Best Hours of Superhero TV Ever Created

 

supergirl-superman-199497.png

 

As it enters its second season, The CW's Supergirl (née CBS's Supergirl) doubles down on its appeal to fans whose preferred brand of superheroics is less angsty and more inspired by '60s and '70s comics and the Richard Donner Superman movies. Through strong performances, though, it manages to appeal more broadly: even fans of post-Crisis on Infinite Earths comics and the Zack Snyder DC Extended Universe should find something to love in the premiere.

 

With the introduction of Tyler Hoechlin's Superman, the episode feels more than a little like "Worlds Finest," the season one episode that saw Grant Gustin guest star as The Flash, establishing for the first time that Supergirl existed in a multiverse with the rest of the CW superheroes and that the heroes could appear on one another's shows if they were so inclined.

 

The episode is full of changes. Not all of them make perfect sense, but they all feel right. There's an emotional truth to the episode, so that even when audiences do a bit of a double-take at a certain idea or story beat, it will reconcile itself on second glance.

 

On that same note, there's a storytelling contrivance in the final moments of the episode which, in any other show, could easily feel silly. Supergirl has built a world where it...works. It feels a bit like a magic trick, which may defy logic, but at its best -- such as in this episode -- Supergirl is a little magical.

 

Supergirl airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT. New episodes begin on Monday, October 10 on The CW.
