So when they first annouced her in the running everyone was using awful pics of her I was like man this chick is hit. Then they announced she was picked last night so I did my own research and I'd definably clap them cheeks. Yawl use better pictures next time.

I still think it’s wild that we’re getting this movie, the book is such a good read. Hopefully it’s actually a solid version of the story in the book and not just a Marvel take the name and make it vaguely like the book in some elements

Personally I’d like the new movie to only introduce Superman and go up against Lex & Metallo.
Introduce Supergirl in the sequel with Brainiac as the villain and then have them move against Zod in the third one.

I’d love if the structured the new movie trilogies the following:
Part 1: Origins and main antagonists (Lex, Joker, Manta, Reverse Flash etc).
Part 2: Seasoned hero meets their sidekick (Supergirl, Robin, Impulse, Aqualad)
Part 3: Retiring the hero in an epic fashion

Most of Tom King's writing has been awful. I have stopped hanging out with people who like his books.

I'll wait for the Stephen King article.

I flip flop.

With the DCU, I mean. It's not so much that I'm ambivalent about it. It's more like I'm bi-polar about it. I go from being negative about it to positive about it and back again.

When I'm being negative about it, it's akin to despair.
But all I can muster when I'm being positive about it is a vague whisp of hope. Which I suppose it what Superman stands for, after all (at least according to Zack Snyder and Neil Gaiman before him), so it's apt enough.

Mily Alcock being cast as Supergirl actually put me me back on a negative tip.
I got wind of it a few hours early and if you read my comments on the article about Batman not being in Legacy, you'll see a man gone mad.
I couldn't exactly say why. It's not like she's a bad actress or anything. She was great in HOTD (which admittedly is the only thing I've ever seen her in). It's not even that she doesn't look the part, I don't think. Maybe I just preferred the other actors to her?

Maybe I'm just regretfully having to let go of the hope of seeing Sasha Calle in the role again. That's probably it. I'll get over it.

But right now?

[frick] this shitshow. I am no longer so excited for WoT and am way less excited about Legacy.

I'm sure she'll do great but I lowkey wish that it was Meg Donelly that got instead, I feel like she could've played both the classic fish-out-of-water pre-New 52 Supergirl and the more jaded Supergirl that Tom King has created.

Plus she's the only choice who's look just screamed Supergirl to me imo.
