Everyone knows just how good all the actors are on Supergirl. They have made us laugh, made us cry, and they have taken us along their journey through self- discovery. All of that is a testament to the talents the actors' bring to the show. However, there is a missing piece of the emotional puzzle when we talk about Supergirl as a show. The musical score. As we have covered on this site and discussed at length in the forums, some of the most powerful scenes have been when Kara is doing her most amazing feats. Destroying a military robot designed to bring her and her cousin down if they ever got out of control, or pushing an alien spaceship out of the lower atmosphere to save thousands of immigrant aliens, not to mention her sister are just two of many examples. While the actors give us the incredible visuals to connect to the character's emotion, the music is there to accompany that performance and really bring home the ultimate force of the moment.

While at San Diego Comic Con, we were given the tremendous opportunity to talk with Blake Neely, the composer for the entire Arrowverse of shows. We discussed our favorite tracks, how he approached writing the iconic Supergirl theme and future soundtracks to come. You can watch our discussion with Mr. Neely below:

We want to take a moment and thank Mr. Neely and his staff for allowing us the opportunity to have this discussion at Comic Con. It was truly a joy for us!

Quoting Kiwi:

That was an excellent interview. Thanks Eric and Kelsey for doing it and the great questions you asked.

I was fascinated at hearing the process for scoring an episode. Even better was Blake confirming a Season 2 Soundtrack release.

O, I second this. Like Kiwi, I'm a big fan of Musical Scores and love the work Blake Neely is doing for the CW shows. I can't wait to see what the final grief stricken Kara theme will be like.
