Supergirl trailer introduces the world to TV’s newest superhero

We’re in the middle of a renaissance of comic book films and it seems like comic book television shows are just getting started. The newest member of DC’s stable, Supergirl, was recently ordered up for a season by CBS, and now we get our first look at it with a 6 minute summary of what looks to be the pilot.

Supergirl comes from Berlanti Productions – you might remember that name from The CW’s Arrow and The Flash.

Just about every channel has a comic book show airing or in the works right now, though NBC’s Constantine is on the way out, Fox’s Gotham is struggling, and many are worried about their take on the Vertigo property Lucifer.

CW’s shows are the most obviously comic-booky and they’ve also been the best-received by fans as well. With Greg Berlanti at the helm of Supergirl as well, I actually have some reason to get excited about this show. If CBS can leave it alone, it could be a lot of fun based on this short clip. I’ll admit it has a bit of a Black Widow: Age of Me feel to it at the beginning, but for a character like Supergirl, that kind of works as a starting point. Melissa Benoist seems to fill both of her character’s identities pretty well, too.

The show seems to pick up on some of what we saw in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, interestingly, but it doesn’t follow slavishly. The character is treated as an alien like Superman was, and many people are suspicious of her. She also mentions that the emblem on her suit isn’t an “S” but her family’s coat of arms. However, the show is bright and has an optimistic feel to it.

There’s a lot to be excited about here, from the producer and costume design to the effects we’ve seen so far. I just hope they stop referring to her cousin – the show can’t actually say Superman) every five minutes after the first episode, because that’s going to get old fast.

We can look forward to seeing more of Supergirl, most likely, at San Diego Comic-Con, but definitely when it starts airing Monday nights at 8 p.m. on CBS in November.

Crypt of the NecroDancer mod is the Mega Man rhythm game we’ve never had

Not ready for “Mega May” to end just yet? Capcom has done a good job making sure that every classic Mega Man game that it can release has been released through digital channels, but when it comes to original content, the fan scene is still the best place to look. Like this mod for example! The Mega Man series is eternally memorable for its amazing soundtracks, but we’ve sadly never gotten a rhythm game out of it. Luckily, we have CutmanMike to thank for modding the Blue Bomber, a host of his iconic enemies, an arsenal of special weapons, and several of his greatest musical hits into the indie hit Crypt of the NecroDancer. For those who have not played it,  Crypt of the NecroDancer  is a dungeon crawling roguelike game. Sure, we have enough of those these days, but the kicker which really helps this one stand out is that it must be played to a beat for maximum performance. Miss a beat, and your character will do less damage or miss an attack. The Mega Man mod r...

See Chris Pratt train his crew of raptors in a new ‘Jurassic World’ clip

Is there any piece of film music more recognizable than the theme from Jurassic Park , scored by John Williams, progenitor of many beloved numbers? That’s a rhetorical question, because there is not (OK, except for the Star Wars theme.) The wondrous, swelling music introduces us to a new featurette for Jurassic World , which has some big shoes to fill. While there has been a Jurassic Park 2 and Jurassic Park 3 , Jurassic World is the true successor to the first movie, which was a miraculous and groundbreaking work from Steven Spielberg when it came out in 1993. The new film picks up approximately 30 years after Jurassic Park , which ended with the park in disarray. Now, however, Jurassic World is a bustling theme park, with attractions, shows and one very large genetically modified dinosaur.  The new featurette provides some cool new footage, along with some commentary by executive producer Steven Spielberg, director Colin Trevorrow and Chis Pratt, who is part of the pa...

Tesla Model S update promises to solve “range anxiety”

Tesla announced a new update coming to its Model S car this year which should make it impossible to ever drive too far away from a charging station, at least on purpose. The company also confirmed plans to add auto-steering features later this year. Ahead of the recent event, CEO Elon Musk promised to kill “range anxiety” once and for all, describing the concern some Tesla drivers feel over whether they’ll be able to reach a charging station in time. Once the firmware update (version 6.2) hits, it will add a Range Assurance application that keeps track of your location and the nearest chargers. The app, which always runs in the background, will send a notification to the driver if he or she is about to wander out of range so that they can turn around in time. “This makes it effectively impossible for a Model S driver to run out of range unintentionally,” Musk said. Version 6.2 should roll out in the next two weeks. It also includes a new Trip Planner feature that helps map out long...
