In the comics, Kara Zor-El shares Superman&#8217;s powers and Kryptonite vulnerability, so fans can look forward to seeing that development on screen.<\/p>\n<p>Berlanti currently heads <em>Arrow <\/em>and <em>The Flash<\/em>, while Ali Adlerto produced <em>Chuck <\/em>and <em>No Ordinary Guy<\/em>. Berlanti and Adlerto are set to write the script and executive produce the show with Sarah Schechter. Geoff Johns, DC Entertainment&#8217;s chief creative officer, has assisted closely with the series&#8217; development.<\/p>\n<p>As the only major network lacking a comic book television series, CBS is the perfect place for the Supergirl TV series to land.<\/p>\n<p>In 1984, Supergirl was adapted into a feature film starring Helen Slater. Laura Vandervoort later appeared as the heroine on The CW&#8217;s <em>Smallville<\/em>. Other characters have taken up the Supergirl helm since the 1950s, but Kara Zor-El has not appeared in a feature around her since the 1984 flop.<\/p>\n<p>DC Entertainment is gunning for the top spot on television with comic-based shows on every major network, excluding the Disney-owned ABC. <em>Gotham <\/em>airs on Fox this fall. The CW has <em>Arrow<\/em>, <em>The Flash<\/em>, and <em>iZombie<\/em>. And <em>Constantine<\/em> hits NBC this fall. ABC is tied to Marvel with <em>Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.<\/em> and <em>Agent Carter<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited for the Supergirl TV series?
