Episode 413 Title & Synopsis

Comic book fans will certainly recognize the title for the thirteenth episode of Supergirl this season! For those that don't remember, it's titled "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and The American Way". This is a call back to a major comic arc that Superman went through. Specifically it was how he dealt with the villianous team, "The Elite". With Manchester Black's partners starting to show up (we'll meet the first one, Menagerie, Sunday night), it's no surprise this storyline is coming to the surface! Check out the synopsis for episode 413 below:

SUPERGIRL FACES OFF AGAINST THE ELITE — Manchester Black (guest star David Ajala) breaks out of prison with the help of his new team, The Elite, who are set on punishing the anti-alien forces. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) pulls double duty as she tries to apprehend Manchester Black and his team as well as deal with a shocking new development with Ben Lockwood (Sam Witwer). Alexis Ostrander directed the episode written by Eric Carrasco & Aadrita Mukerji (#413). Original airdate 3/3/2019.

Just make sure "Supergirl faces off against the elite" doesn't really mean "Alex faces off agaisnt the elite while Kara observes"


LOL. I could certainly do with Alex and Brainy being @ the DEO, Nia and James @ Catco and J'onn in his new P.I. office for the entire episode leaving all the action to just Supergirl.


Amen!

Quoting Brierrose:
As suspected the show will break for the Oscars too. Kiwi we’re going to have to refine our previous air date predictions. Here are my new projected airdates for the rest of season four. One side effect of sitting out the Super Bowl and award shows is a shorter spring break, two weeks instead of the typical four that other shows take in March/April.
02/17 Episode 12-Menagerie
02/24 Oscars
03/03 Episode 13-What’s So Funny About Truth Justice and The American Way
03/10 Episode 14-Stand and Deliver
03/17 Episode 15-O’ Brother, Where Art Thou
03/24 Episode 16
03/31 Shortened spring break
04/07 Shortened spring break/NCAA Basketball final games
04/14 Episode 17
04/21 Episode 18

Looks good to me Brierrose. I expected no new episodes for the Superbowl and the Oscars but not for the Grammys. I wonder though if Episode 16 will actually screen on April 7 (meaning an 7 Episode consecutive finish). There's NCAA Basketball Tournament games on Sunday March 24 and 31 but when it comes to the Final Four those games are on Saturday April 6 and Monday April 8 so no games to compete against on Sunday April 7.

We'll await with interest when Episode 16 screens, it is fun though playing CW Program scheduler.

Quoting Captain Past:
As you youngsters likely do not remember, for example because you hadn't been born at the time, when Superman appeared on television for the first time, in living black and white (episodes were filmed in color, but originally broadcast in monochrome), it was Superman who fought for "Truth, Justice, and The American Way". It's a fine 1950s line. For the original planned Superboy series (never got past the pilot), the line was iirc changed a bit.

And before then, on radio, Superman fought "a never-ending battle for truth and justice."

We’re going to see Supergirl’s version of the story arc. The show is at its best when it focuses on Supergirl. I hope Manchester Black will get his telepathic powers.

Sounds like an excellent episode - especially since I love SuperGirl centered episodes.. I just hope that whatever happens it somehow in someway starts to lead to Alex getting her memory back regarding her relationship with SuperGirl. Part of the fun in the sister dialogues at the end was Alex and SuperGirl talking about what happened that day. I will be happy when we have that back again.

Sounds interesting! Should be good. I'll make it a point to tune in. :-)
