May 22, 2015: Melissa Benoist on the First Time She Put on the Supergirl Costume

Supergirl E! Online has posted a video from the recent CBS Upfronts where "Supergirl" stars Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks and Chyler Leigh spoke about the upcoming series, including whether or not there'll ever be a crossover between "The Flash", "Arrow" and "Supergirl", and what it was like for Melissa when she first tried on the Supergirl costume.

    "I just had this injury so I had this eye patch on. It was kind of embarrassing," Benoist tells E! News about the very first time she tried on her costume, designed by Colleen Atwood for the new CBS series. "But the second I put it on, something shifts inside of me. It's kind of impossible not to feel strength and empowerment and positivity and hope. It really is pretty surreal."

    Add that to seeing herself on the small screen after all the special effects have been added in to Supergirl and Benoist can't believe what she's already been able to do on the show, which will premiere in the fall.

    a"I don't recognize myself when I see those scenes," Benoist says. "It's kind of insane. The sheer scope of all of it, it's so epic that it's kind of mind-blowing to see it all put together."
