November 2, 2015: Greg Berlanti Talks About Moving Forward with "Supergirl"

Supergirl In an interview with Variety Executive Producer Greg Berlanti talks about the success of "Supergirl" so far, where things are headed, and what we can expect moving forward. Here's part of the interview...

    So what's in store for "Supergirl"?

    It's very much a hero's journey for her in this first bunch of episodes. She's kept her skills dormant. She's learning about that. You'll learn more about the Big Bad, which I think is really cool. We're beginning to build what her team is going to be and how she's figuring out what kind of hero she's going to be. What's always great is the audience starts to learn as much about the supporting characters as we already know in our heads. It takes time and real estate for the audience to get to know those characters. You'll learn more about her sister, Hank, and her connection to James.

    What about the budget? Will we see as many effects going forward?

    We reserved a lot of money. We planned the visual effects sequences in episodes 2 through 5, 6 and 7. Hopefully we've proven this with "Flash," which has large scale sequences as well. We know it's our responsibility to deliver on the promise of the pilot. There are all sorts of different kinds of effects, and sometimes the more intimate ones are the ones that are more powerful for people emotionally. But there's a lot of spectacle, too. There's a fight sequence in episode 2 that's maybe one of the biggest fight sequences we've ever done in any of the shows. It's certainly bigger than the final fight in the pilot.

    How far ahead are you in production?

    We're shooting 10 and prepping 11, and drafting episode 13 right now, so obviously we're excited to get another episode on air so we get to know if we're going to get make more of these things.
