Supergirl and Superman – Review
Tonight I watched the season 2 premier of Supergirl. I need to say that I have not been following Supergirl. Before this episode, I only watched the first episode and the episode with the Flash.
I will confess that I enjoyed this episode much more than the little I had seen before. This is not just because of Superman. In general, I found the characters much less annoying than previously. There was a maturing of Supergirl from what I had seen before.
I did like the way did Superman (except the cape attachment, which looked weird). It was a pretty old school version of Superman and Clark Kent. It was much different from the current Superman in the movies. While I don’t mind the Henry Cavill Superman, I really liked Tyler Hoechlin here. This was a Superman who doesn’t take himself too seriously, but is by no means a joke.
I loved the Richard Donner references in this episode, the appearance of Miss Teschmacher being only one. You can find out more about these references here.
I also found the relationship between Superman and the Martian Manhunter. An aside, I really like the Martian Manhunter in this series.
This episode was good enough to make me consider continuing with the series from now on. I may even go back and see what I missed.
