\"Supergirl<\/a>
Supergirl as she appears in DC’s New 52<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

According to Bleeding Cool<\/em><\/a>, Michael Green – the heavyweight executive producer behind Smallville<\/strong><\/em>, The Flash<\/strong><\/em>, Arrow<\/strong><\/em>, Gotham<\/strong><\/em>, Heroes<\/strong> <\/em>and the terrible Green Lantern<\/strong><\/em> movie – has pitched a Supergirl show to DC Entertainment.<\/p>\n

There’s no source cited, so this is best treated as a rumour before you even get into the ‘might not even happen’ stage of your reaction.<\/p>\n

Green also worked on the New 52 relaunch of Supergirl<\/em> <\/strong>alongside writer Mike Johnson, so he knows the character well.<\/p>\n

Given the dearth of female-led superhero movies and TV shows, there’s a real hunger for something like this – especially using a variation on one of the company’s flagship characters.<\/p>\n

The major barrier however is that with Warner Bros keeping their TV and movie arms separate, they might not be so fussed about supporting characters running around every other week in Arrow<\/em> <\/strong>or The Flash<\/strong><\/em>, or Batman’s origin story playing out in Gotham<\/strong><\/em>, but when it comes to the Superman brand things might be a bit different.<\/p>\n

The current DC movie universe has Man Of Steel<\/strong> <\/em>at its core, after all…<\/p>\n

Arrow<\/em> Season 3 returns to The CW on 8 October 2014 and soon after on Sky 1 and Sky 1 HD in the UK. You can buy Arrow<\/em> Season 1 on Blu-ray for £11.25 at Amazon.co.uk.<\/a> Find out more about the comics that inspired the show with new digital magazine Uncanny Comics<\/a><\/strong>. <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
