Sounds like they cast Supergirl (again), and I'm cracking up.
Here's what Supergirl actually looks like -- in several different styles, by several different artists, spanning several decades -- vs the ugly woman they allegedly cast. (yuck)
At least she'll probably be a blonde this time instead of a dark-haired hispanic with short hair. But who knows what James Gunn the pedophile will do with this shit I'll never go watch.
@RoninGrey To be fair, the show would be bad regardless of who's cast as supergirl. I mean, why would anyone want to watch a show about a woman who's stronger than men and behaves like one?
But I don't even get the appeal of superhero stories for the most part. I'm baffled so many people watch that stuff.
@Based_Accelerationist But as a reader, I did like Supergirl as a character, back in the day.
The thing about comics is that there are runs where a certain writer / artist combo just knocks it out of the park for a year or two, making fantastic work, but then the same character gets handed to another team and the stories and art could suck ass for 20 years so you're just SOL.
@RoninGrey I was never into reading superhero comic books, so I wouldn't know, but that makes sense.
Still, even if some of the stories were great, I just don't see myself getting over the fact I dislike Superman (or supergirl) as a concept.
Closest thing to a superman show I'll watch, is One Punch Man, but that's basically a mockery of the superhero genre.
