In an interview with EW.com, Melissa Benoist talks about the series finale of “Supergirl,” how she feels about saying farewell to Kara, and whether she’s ever put the cape on again. Here’s an excerpt from the interview…
“I would say the end goal is to really come to terms with her powers and who she is as an alien on the planet, and then who she is as a human and finding a way to embrace both of them at once,” says Benoist, who believes this was the right time to say farewell to Kara. “I don’t know if I was ready to say goodbye to the characters, which I think is healthy.

I saw the latest episode of Legends of tomarrow and Brandon Routh came back to play the Atom for an episode. He will also play the role again in the upcoming Flash Armageddon crossover event. So the the possibility of Melissa comming back… Read more »
