The DC Comics TV shows might not be in the same universe as the movies, but it certainly looks like the newest series is paying homage to the movies. Melissa Benoist and CBS revealed what her Supergirl costume will look like late Friday and it’s similar to Superman’s current movie costume.
Benoist posted two stills on her Twitter page Friday. one was a close-up, while the other is a full-body shot, revealing her knee-high boots and her red skirt. While it certainly looks similar to some of the classic Supergirl outfits from the comics, it also looks as dark and gloomy as Superman’s costume in Man of Steel.
We will definitely get to see Benoist in action. The series, from The Flash’s Greg Berlanti and Chuck’s Ali Adler, has already been given a series order by CBS.
The former Glee star, who was also seen in Whiplash, was cast in the role in January. Benoist’s co-stars include Laura Benanti, David Harewood, Chyler Leigh, Calista Flockhart and Mehcad Brooks.
The series finds Kara, Superman’s cousin, as a 24-year-old who finally decides to use her super powers. While Berlanti is involved in the series, it’s not clear if it will be in the same universe as The CW’s Arrow and The Flash.
