CBS signs on for SUPERGIRL series

Supergirl coming to CBS soon

Greg Berlanti, producer of the CW's ARROW and THE FLASH, has inked a deal to bring the story of Supergirl, Superman's cousin, to the small screen.

SQUEE!!!!

You'll recall SMALLVILLE, which chronicled a young Clark Kent growing into his destiny as Superman ran for 10 years on the CW.  That series also featured the character of "Kara" as a recurring role.

The official description reads:

"Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped amid its destruction years ago.

"Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin.

"But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be."
