June 6, 2012: Green and Johnson Talk About "Supergirl"

Supergirl #11 Newsarama.com caught up with "Supergirl" comic book writers Michael Green and Mike Johnson to discuss where things are at with the Maid of Might and what we can look forward to in upcoming issues. Here's an excerpt from the interview in which Michael Green talks about their take on Supergirl...

    We have to give props to our editors at DC, from our day-to-day guys to the very top, because they've really encouraged us to lean into our favorite part of this, which a lot of people might have been afraid of, which is keeping Kara an alien on Earth. She's learning, but never comfortable. She might get a friend here or there, but it's never easy. And she's never going to just be OK and get an apartment and get a job and put on glasses and say, "I guess I live in L.A. as a human now." It's always going to be a struggle, and her development is going to be a life-long process.

    And we really appreciate being able to explore that idea. It's the most interesting and difficult part of her character. A lot of other groups might have said, let's just get past that character stuff already and get to the smashing and banging and punching.
