New Supersuit ?

Ok, I have resigned myself to having to ask. What are hair "bangs"? (My ignorance may be down to me being outside the US, or perhaps hair for me personally is a bit of a distant memory.)

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

I believe the chin strap is coming back this season from what I'm hearing.....

Bangs refers to hair that falls forward to cover the forehead (either completely or partially), as opposed to being swept back or to the side.

Biggest question I would suspect most women are now thinking....

"BUT DOES IT HAVE...POCKETS??!!"



Also, new article with new pictures of the suit....

I wanna see James in a speedo.

Uuuummmmmmmmm.........no.

A MILLION times no!

Liberty Prime; thanks for translating bangs. I think we call it a fringe, as in Oklahoma in "a surrey with a bang on top"!!

On the subject of the suit, I am glad that there will be another Supergirl suit which can be uniquely attributed to Melissa's Supergirl rather than anyone else.

@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!?

For me, this is the only problem with the suit. It's not Supergirl's, it's Superman's put on Supergirl's body, which is indicative of a bigger issue at hand.

On the positive side of it, I do like the suit better in this lighting. It doesn't appear to be the leather that it originally looked like to be, but rather the mesh-like material that her original one contained. And I do like the gold accents and that gold emblem piece that goes across her collar.

I'm not a fan of the bangs, but it's still not even close to being as distracting or as bad as Alex's.

My final thought:

The costume change and some of Melissa's comments about Kara have changed my approach to the forthcoming season, what's been striking me looking at the costume is I don't see Supergirl any longer I see Superwoman (especially as my mind was thinking back to a Superwoman comic book from a couple of years ago that had a similar costume to this one, see attached comic page). So instead of thinking of this season as Supergirl Season 5 I'm going to be looking at it as Superwoman Season 1 and my best hope is that like Supergirl Season 1 I get to enjoy the journey of Kara Zor-El filled with Superheroics, Action, Heart, Humour, Friendships/Family and her Reporting job.

Funny you should mention that, Kiwi.

My "ideal" ending for the show at some point, would have involved Kara at age thirtysome adopting a more mature image and maybe retiring the Supergirl moniker. The end of Kara's journey as Supergirl, the beginning of Superwoman kind of thing.
