Supergirl is the superhero television series based on the DC Comics character. The series follows the adventures of Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), who is the cousin of Kal-el, who comes to be known on Earth as Superman. Like her more famous relative, Kara escapes from Krypton shortly before its destruction. At the age of 12, she also finds herself on Earth, where she is adopted by an earth family and subsequently takes the name of Kara Danvers (in a nod to previous Superman universe adaptations, Kara's father is portrayed by Dean Cain, who portrayed Superman in the series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and her mother is portrayed by Helen Slater, who portrayed Supergirl in the 1984 feature film adaptation). In the series, Kara, now in her mid twenties, must learn to embrace her powers after she has to reveal them during an unexpected disaster, setting her on her journey of heroism and self discovery as she begins to take on the persona of Supergirl. The series is set to premiere in the fall of 2015 in the US on CBS and was co-developed by Greg Berlanti, who also developed the other DC Comics superhero series Arrow and The Flash.
