DC maybe working on a ‘Supergirl’ TV show

Is Supergirl going to be snagging her own DC show? If you believe the rumors coming out of the Echo Chamber, it appears so. Title of Show, Station of Show, all that fun stuff is undetermined at the moment. But hey! Maybe-sorta.

AV CLUB:

Bleeding Cool reports an intriguing rumor: DC Comics is actively pitching a Supergirllive-action television show, in the same vein as its other TV properties Arrow, Gotham, Constantine, and The Flash. The report has Michael Green, producer and scriptwriter for several genre and comic-book shows, tied to the project. Green’s even got a slant towards DC characters: In addition to writing the Green Lanternmovie, he was a producer for Smallville—which featured Laura Vandervoort as Supergirl—and writes for Gotham. But perhaps more relevantly, he worked on theSupergirl comics in the early days of the New 52.

The question of whether or not a major studio would make a comic-book movie with a female protagonist has been discussed for some time now. Though DC and Marvel have hinted at movies for Wonder Woman and Black Widow, respectively—and Sony has promised a female offshoot of its Spider-Man universe—it’s an idea they seem more comfortable exploring on the small screen, as Marvel preps Jessica Jones for Netflix and Agent Carter for ABC, and DC has explored shows featuringWonder Woman and Raven (as well as the short-lived Birds Of Prey).

I was like, sort of intrigued. Then I saw that the writer of Green Lantern was involved. And I began shaking uncontrollably. Thick, vicious, viscous white liquid rolling out of my mouth, catching in my beard. Eyes rolled up into the back of my head, I wept for death. If but for a moment.
