Greg Berlanti yes, Marc Gugenheim and Andrew Kreisberg, no. At least as far as I know.
Aw, that's good to hear. She's always appeared as an incredibly nice person.

I'm sure it will be good but rofl @ jimmy being an "alpha male", and her neighbor seems to be a male analog to felicity
but will likely be toyman?

I can't even imagine the New 52 design would even work on screen. It's like a... fetish bathing suit or something with boots and kneepads.
The Michael Turner design would be cool, but they're not going to give her that belly shirt, I'm sure. I like those sleeves, though.

That costume is unpleasing to the eye.

I don't know her but I'm freaking out.
I kind of like the new 52 one. At least more than the cheerleader uniform. But it's obvious that it wouldn't translate all that well to live action.

I know very little about her, but since it is from the Arrow/Flash group, I will be there on day one.
I want it as a foundation because it's unique to kara herself and not just superman with a skirt.
It's not a perfect design by any means, but it's easily better than practically any she's ever worn

Just gonna post my obligatory "use some variation of this costume" pic
That's one terrible costume. Would you have her wear a mask, too?

You don't fix Episode 1 by giving us an Episode II Attack of the Clones.
That looks terrible...Just gonna post my obligatory "use some variation of this costume" pic
She's got to show off her lower back tattoo.Just gonna post my obligatory "use some variation of this costume" pic
I wouldn't want that included it in or the ugly almost thigh high boots

Knowing nothing about Supergirl, how does her secret identity work?

It looks bizarre and alien. Like a councilwoman's suit on some sci-fi world.
I like something simple and homespun. Something that came off of the kitchen table of Ma and Pa Kent. Something made after Superman's own outfit, that says "Yes, I'm going to follow in my cousin's footsteps and uphold the family crest." The original Supergirl outfit was that. Matrix's 90s outfit was that. Michael Turner's redesign was that as well.
If this show pegs her as the only Kryptonian on Earth then you can expect her secret identity to work exactly like Clark/Superman.
She has worn a wig before to mix up the hair colors so we may see that too.

Sorry, I meant how does she hide her superhero identity amongst other humans, since she's not wearing a mask (as it seems). Glasses like Kent?
Glasses, a wig. Different pitch in her voice.
Kara's look SHOULD be alien though. She grew up on an alien planet and left it as a teenager
That depends on how she acquires the costume. If Ma and Pa Danvers make it it'll look like human design, if she acquires it from some sort of leftover Kryptonian ship it obviously would be more alien in nature.

I quite like the long coat look to be honest.
The costume I posted isn't that elaborate or even alien. She's wearing essentially a trench coat of sorts over a kyptonian body suit

I don't see why she'd have to preserve her alien look once she got to Earth. She's not The Eradicator. If she's going to follow in the footsteps of her established cousin, the most famous superhero on the planet, it makes sense that she'd wear an outfit that resembles his.
Yea but the trench coat thing doesn't really scream "symbol of hope". I can almost guarantee she'll have a cape.
Me too. Much different from 90s-00s Supergirl and feels more detective-y.
We still don't officially know if Superman will exist in the final script contrary to those audition sides. It would seem theyre giving Kara her own Lex luthor in her foster sister Alex and in addition Jimmy Olsen and a bunch of his rogues

Nah, it'll be like Smallville, she'll fight crime in her street clothes
And besides, Tom Welling wore a trench coat already. Literally a trench coat for all of Smallville season 9. I can't imagine they want to go that route again.

Now I want a dark-noir Supergirl detective story.
I did not watch Smallville up to that point hahahaaha they were trying to go the Angel route, weren't they?
Like Superman and the Question teaming up? Cause that was some good comics.

Trench coat reminds me of Matrix
I hated that outfit. All black trench coat, black t-shirt with the "S" like chalked on or something in white. Black slacks w/ black belt. Black boots. Everytime he saved someone or stopped a crime he would burn the "S" into the ground or side of a building.
