Superman’s cousin is coming to TV, and the arrival of CBS’ “Supergirl” could not be more timely.
“There hasn’t been a female superhero on TV since Lynda Carter (who played Wonder Woman on ABC and CBS in the 1970s). It’s more than about time,” showrunner Andrew Kreisberg told TheWrap.
“People have been champing at the bit for this character,” she added. “The success of ‘Frozen’ and ‘Cinderella,’ and this year with ‘Blindspot’ and anything Shonda Rhimes does and Hillary Clinton, it feels like women are becoming front and center and we can finally stop having the conversation of, ‘Can women do everything that men can do?’ We know they can, and now they’re just doing it.”
