I couldn't post a picture in the article from the front page, so I'm doing it here.

Here's the suit.

One word: G-A-R-B-A-G-E!

She isn't Superman, she isn't Reign, she isn't Captain *&^%$!! Marvel or Batwoman. She's Supergirl! They've butchered the suit design for a refresh and completely tossed out the first rule for this character: Don't fix what wasn't broken!

So disregard a suit that makes it easier for her to take a comicbook character off the page and onto the screen?...........ok

You are wanting a human being to look exactly like a comicbook character and do all the things that character does....for 7 possibly plus years.......ok

Don't have an answer for ya......just not realistic.

So either stay upset about it and allow it to ruin your enjoyment of the series, or wish Melissa the best, and enjoy what is probably one of the best portrayals of a comicbook character onscreen. That is a choice, Melissa's ability to do this longterm is reality.

An upgrade to Supergirl's uniform is a good idea, but …
I liked the dark blue colour to her previous uniform and much preferred it over the light blue of all of the previous versions of Supergirl's uniforms (although I stopped keeping track after the 'Supergirl' movie in 1984). It looks as if they've kept the dark blue with the new one too, although I would have also liked having the traditional yellow fill colour to the 'House of EL family crest' (that looks like a 'diamond-S' to all of us earthlings, and which Superman still has on his uniform's "S";). Anything that adds a bit more colour and contrast to the otherwise blue and red is good.
The way that the cape is attached now makes it look like it was tacked on as an afterthought, rather than being an integral part of the uniform (ditto for Superman's being the same way). And I've never really liked the visible seams on her uniform; they make it look like something that a wannabe made at home for a costume party instead of something worthy of "The Champion of the Planet Earth" (check out Episode 2.22 for that one).
But the biggest complaint that I've had about Supergirl's uniform over the past four years was the boots. I never figured out why she needed to have hip-waders that covered her knees. When she was sitting down they looked kind of like skinny hockey goalie pads, and I wondered if they had been designed by the same person who designed the boots for Gene Simmons' on-stage KISS costume.
On the other hand, the thigh-high boots that were part of that one-piece outfit that she wore when she was battling with Lex Luthor at Shelley Island in Episode 4.22 "The Quest of Peace" looked really great, and I wish that they had gone with those instead when they upgraded everything else.
As for the hair; the bangs look very 1960's, but it's definitely better than that awful haircut that Alex wears when she's on the job at the DEO.
Some improvements to her uniform were needed, and overall I like some things about the new one-piece suit, but I'm not sold on everything that they did (not yet anyway - I'll give it time).

Overall, the new suit is okay. I wish it were a little closer to the Overgirl design, personally. But it's not bad. I do still wish they'd done something more at the waist and hips to break up the blue.

I think she looks good in the new suit.

I'd have liked a bit more red, like blue in Mon El's suit, but I love the belt (and it is not Kal's).

The bangs I have never been a fan of, but that is more a matter of personal taste. It is possible they have some in-story reason for moving to bangs and it is not an actor choice. Even if it is, that is fine.

Upon a closer look, the suit actually looks much like Tyler's Superman. Also, now that they've made the switch, it allows them to refresh said suit much like they do Flash's and Green Arrow's. Still missing Flash's chin strap, however:p

@Kiwi,

Re: Your previous post.

That's a good way of looking at things and I admire you for doing so. But, generally speaking and in today's social/political/economic environment, you're among a minority. I wish you well in this regard. It will be a very turbulent ride.

Now, let's see how it realistically translates to the screen and if it gains acceptance in the wider world, shall we!?
