November 15, 2011: Supergirl is Still Relatable Say Writers

Supergirl #3 Newsarama.com has published an interview with "Supergirl" writers Michael Green and Mike Johnson ahead of tomorrow's release of issue #3 of the monthly comic book title. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Newsarama: Let's talk about Supergirl as a character. We've not met her. I think a lot of people had the perception that she was going to be this unfeeling alien, but there's obviously a lot of compassion in this girl, as we saw her love for her family and her concern for the people she thought were hurt in the Great Wall of China. Now that we've seen a bit of that and you're getting further into the series, who is Supergirl? How would you describe her?

    Michael Green: We really just wanted her to be a real girl - somebody with relatable feelings, plausible feelings, and plausible reactions to an incredibly set of circumstances.

    What would you do if you were a 16-year-old girl who expected to have the SAT's tomorrow, but instead woke up on an alien planet and had the powers of a god.

    Mike Johnson: And when we've said in the past that we want her to be alien, that's really going to come across more as the series progresses and we see how she interacts with Earth. We've jumped in very quickly with her hectic arrival, but fundamentally, between Kryptonians and Earthlings, there is a common morality and common ethic. So yes, she is an alien, yet she's a very relatable girl.
