‘Supergirl’ Season 2 Will Be Closer To The Comics
For a while it looked like Supergirl might not get a second season. The switch to The CW gave it another chance, and it could allow the show to grow. While they have a strong first season to build upon, theyre now part of the wider CW/DC multiverse. It seems like thats going to lead to the new season being truer to the comics.
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg was talking with Collider about the second season. The biggest change is probably the introduction of Superman to the show. It sounds like adding Clark Kent is part of making the show closer to the original comic stories:
In some ways, the show is a little bit more comic book-y, with the addition of Superman and some of the things were trying, but its also gotten richer, with some of the characters and what theyll be exploring this season.
One other way theyre doing that is by tapping in to their extensive DC Universe. With three other series on The CW, there will be plenty of crossover stories. Thats something which was inspired by the comics Kreisberg read when he was younger:
Thats the fun of comic books, and thats what was always so great about them for us, when we were kids. Even when DC did Crisis on Infinite Earths, or Marvel did Secret Wars, they made them seem like these big, giant events, and thats what we try to emulate in the crossovers.
