I decided to start basically a Supergirl season 6 thread.I was already figuring we may get some news at DC's FanDome event next month but apparently there was a Virtual Wizard World Con in the past few days and several cast members were there.Apparently there was some season 6 news there.TheDCTVshow has a report on it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL_031LiXNw

The Major news points.

1)Jesse Rath revealed they plan to begin shooting September 28.

DCTVshow speculates that they might do what they did at the start of season 4 where other cast members like Jesse will begin shooting September 28 but Melissa might start a little later.

2)Helen Slater will be in a couple episodes in season 6.

The next bit I'll spoiler highlight since it could be considered a spoiler.

3)
Warning: Spoiler Alert! [Toggle message]
From Jesse Rath:"The writers are working on,not a Legion story but what I think is the essence of what The Legion Of Superheroes is."

DCTVShow speculates he's not expecting Legion members appearing but more the idea of what The Legion is.A team of superheroes coming together.So really Team Supergirl really coming together as a team and becoming the basis of what The Legion becomes in the future.


ETA

I think I found the actual panel video.

I suspect there are numerous stock stills of Melissa that fans have not seen that with the comic backdrop and photo effects would look fresh and new. That is unless we are getting a new suit variation in S6.

I'd honestly be okay with this, lol. I don't hate a suit with pants, but something about the season 5 suit looked super frumpy, IMO.

To me, the problem is just too much blue and not enough color separation. To try and rectify that, I'd lower the S shield a bit lower, to where it was on the original costume. I'd then lower the neckline, to be about 2" above the top of the new S shield location, as the current neckline seems disproportionately wide and high. I also don't like how they have that weird piping extending from the seam of the arm over her shoulders, like odd looking pauldrons. I'd also add some sort of red wrap, around the waist, which is open in the front. By doing this, I feel they can use the shield to fill some of that empty blue canvas they've created with this costume.

Though, full honesty, I wish the Overgirl design from Earth X could be adapted to a Supergirl suit. She may have been evil, but that suit looked amazing.

I think the new Dreamer poster is actually a quite clever play on her powers... She's seen the future, season 6 is coming... I like it.

What's interesting about the Dreamer poster and the one The Flash put out featuring Iris is that the backround shows the character's comic book counterpart.In Dreamer's case,it's actually her descendant from The Legion Of Superheroes who of course has been referenced on the show via Brainy and Winn.

I also think it's clever, but as the lead off promotional poster, I feel it is yet another case of diminishing Kara.

If it hadn't been an ongoing concern, I wouldn't mind as much. :)

I'm not happy about the new Dreamer poster for Season 6. Why in the world would they release that as the first poster? It even makes it look like Dreamer is Supergirl with the Supergirl logo under it. Ugh. I don't mind Dreamer, but the show is supposed to be about Supergirl.

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.

The CWverse Superheroes Trailer (HD) Superman & Lois Teaser

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=610-DdrMsos



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.

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.;)

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