Supergirl Season 6 Info/News/Speculation

And pretty in part due to fan demand they’ve released a poster with Supergirl using a old picture of Melissa.

I'm totally alright with a poster using a pose from last season. At least helps keep us satiated until Melissa returns to the fold for production and new promos.

I'm not sure who that comicbook character is behind Dreamer on her poster, but it ain't Dreamer.

Also, I am once again awwed by the promo departments inability to actually promote Melissa Benoist as Supergirl. I just don't get, and have given up on trying to figure it out. SMH...

It's like someone thought of the line "She's Seen The Future" oOOOOOOOOOOOOH, LETS DO A POSTER ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.....AND WE GOTTA, WE GOTTA.....WE GOTTTTA PUT IT ON TWITTER RIIIIIIIIIGHT NOW....RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT NOW, WE CANNOT WAIT, IT IS JUST TOO GOOD OF A TAG LINE, WE CAN'T WAIT.

Wait, what is the show about? Oooooooooooooh yeah, Supergirl, well the fans are mad at us again so hurry up find one from last season (sighs) gotta keep them on that leash ya know.

I have nothing against Dreamer, she is a great character, Nicole Maines has done, and will continue to do a great job, but seriously.....just once how about we do a STROOOOOOONG PROMO PUSH using "Supergirl" Melissa Benoist as Kara Zorel aka Kara Danvers. Just once.....please, just asking for ONE TIME. Doesn't seem to be too much to ask. Well........maybe it is.

I like the poster, they put a picture of Melissa in front of a montage of comic book Supergirls. I do wish they would’ve added her motto as a tagline. They had no option about using an old picture and this one is a good choice. Someone on FB said that’s Nural Nal/Dream Girl behind Nia because Nia’s not in the comics. I don’t doubt that whoever came up with that tagline for Nia wanted to get it out ASAP. Things are not well at DC and I’m sure everyone in the promotions department is fighting for their jobs. There’s probably a lot of pressure to get something, anything out there. I thought the season four poster was fantastic and there have been others featuring the lead that I’ve liked.

Hopefully they do something really cool with Melissa once she’s available.

I have absolutely no problem with the pic they used. I love the pic. BUT, not making the first official poster of a show someone other than your #1, is poor promotion. Also, Supergirl should have been at the top of Dreamers poster, and Dreamer at the bottom.

I agree that it would’ve been better to release these posters in the opposite order or at the same time. The promotion department made a mistake. It’s a cold comfort but they made the exact same mistake with Flash so at least it’s not a Supergirl is being treated worse situation.

At least they haven't put out a similar poster for Batwoman featuring Ruby Rose. Now THAT would be in poor taste.

I still can't help to think they chose to release supporting cast posters because they may tweak the suits of the primary characters ( Supergirl, Flash). The Flash suit changes regularly. Supergirl held steady for 4 years, but may be getting a second makeover.

I always love that they do a trailer like this each year to tease all the Arrowverse shows.It usually is released at Comic Con.I thought they might be saving it for the second day of DC FanDome on September 12 when the TV Shows will be focused on.Glad to have it now though.

PLEASE a second makeover. I can deal with pants, but they could make it so much better.

I'll agree with your sentiment but to very lightly paraphrase Edna Mode, "NO PANTS!" (And that's all I'll say on that subject since I know many are very sensitive about this subject)

The current look just doesn't work and the cape with clasps, onesie get-up, and hairstyle don't gel properly. I understand the reasoning behind why they did the change-up for S5, but visually speaking, it's a massive dud.

Pants are OK if used for a different iteration/version of the character (i.e. animated feature or from the get-go in a live action film) but not for a character that has already been established with a certain look and feel. It's the equivalent of taking a BMW and adding a Trabant/Lada engine to the mix.

I agree, the pants, no pants issue is very sensitive so I will keep my remarks short. Melissa is going to have a lot of work ahead of her if she's going to fit into those pants. I have no doubt that she's up to the task but it may take months to tone up. I'm just saying.

The pants aren't going anywhere....

The pants don't bother me. I thought her original suit was best but I am ok with change. Considering the suit is nanobot technology, it seems they could incorporate various settings with different super suit variations for different occasions. This could potentially satisfy the broadest spectrum of fans while not forcing Melissa into skirts on the colder days. Hopefully we will start to get new season info in the upcoming months.

The pants aren't going anywhere....

I agree. I merely wanted to express how I didn't like the fit or aesthetic of THIS particular suit with pants. For that reason, I wouldn't mind another upgrade/modification.

I do prefer the original suit more but agree with others.,the pants are here to stay.I could see tweaks happening though.For example,IMO adding some red to the pants would be a improvement.

TheDCTVSHOws is hearing from according to them,reilable sources, that Supergirl is aiming for 16 episodes for season 6.

Sounds like a reasonable number. Time will tell how reliable the sources are.

This is a generally reliable source. 16 episodes sounds reasonable and in line with what I was expecting. They said filming will start on 9/28 which is the day Jesse said would be his first day so that tracks. We’ll see if/how long they go without Melissa. I’m beginning to think she’s already had the baby and they’ve just not made a public announcement. She did that IG live nine weeks ago, on 7/7 and said she was close.

It’s interesting that Flash is suppose to have 17 and they’ve got a lot more of last seasons plot to finish than Supergirl. When the network President said full 20+ episode seasons last May I thought that was optimistic at best. Supergirl isn’t winding up starting later than the other shows I don’t think anyone thought that would happen. I don’t think it’s going to change but the reasonable back in May, due to the pregnancy, decision to have Supergirl be “mid season” isn’t really applicable anymore.

16 episodes sounds reasonable

I would agree with that myself

I'm pretty happy with 16 episodes if that is accurate.

I always thought 20 + episodes this season was unrealistic.There was some speculation that the seasons for Supergirl & The Flash are ending when they are so Melissa & Grant can participate in the Batwoman/Superman & Lois crossover.That probably would be easier especially this year to have their shows already wrapped before filming the crossover.Interesting idea anyway even if it's just speculation.

Keeping Supergirl mid-season may still make sense since they have so many DC shows and the season isn't starting until Jan.They've got seven DC shows(The Flash,Supergirl,Legends,Black Lightning Batwoman,Stargirl and Superman & Lois).

Have The Flash,Black Lightning,Batwoman,Superman & Lois come out of the gate first.Followed by Supergirl ,Legends and Stargirl.Stargirl could be a summer show again.It did very well this year during that period.

ETA

Thinking of crossovers.Probably not for this year but as much and I would love to see a Stargirl/Supergirl and or Stargirl/Flash crossover,what about a Stargirl/Black Lightning crossover?

1)Stargirl and Black Lightning both film in Atlanta so that would be easier to do then a crossover with the Vancouver based shows.

2)In the comics,Jennifer Pierce/Lightning joins the JSA and becomes good friends with Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl.I could certainly see a friendship forming between them on the shows too.
