May 13, 2015: 80 Stills From the Supergirl TV Trailer

Supergirl Earlier today CBS released a six and a half minute trailer for the upcoming "Supergirl" TV Pilot. Going through the video, I've grabbed 80 stills, which give us a chance to examine some interesting elements from the footage shown.

We see Lara and Zor-El, Kara's Kryptonian parents. We see Krypton explode. And as her ship lands on Earth, we see young Kara holding hands with her cousin, Kal-El as Superman.

The video also gives us confirmation that Dean Cain and Helen Slater are indeed playing the roles of Mr and Mrs Danvers, Kara's foster parents.

Interestingly, from the video it seems Kara's secret identity isn't really that secret. Win Schott, her colleague and neighbor (who will one day become the Toyman), helps her create the Supergirl costume. Kara goes with her foster sister Alex to the DEO, where Hank Henshaw (played by David Harewood) tells her to go back to fetching coffees. And James Olsen (played by Mehcad Brooks) gives Kara (not Supergirl) Superman's baby blanket.

We see that the villain of the Pilot episode, known as the Lumberjack, appears to be an alien menace with an axe-like hi-tech weapon.

I like that Supergirl's public debut appears to be similar to one used for Superman previously in movies, animated shows and comic books... the saving of a crashing aircraft (in this case a plane).
