Supergirl's First Trailer Introduces a Vulnerable, Badass Heroine

Superheroes are all the rage on TV right now, and there's a new one you need to know about. Glee's Melissa Benoist plays Kara, aka Supergirl, in CBS's upcoming comic-inspired drama. She's Superman's cousin, and after years of hiding her powers from her friends and family, she finally decides to put them to use. Of course, she has a day job, too. She's an assistant to a media mogul (Calista Flockhart!) and she works alongside a photographer, Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), who used to work at The Daily Planet — that's the newspaper where Superman works. From the impressive special effects to the comedic-relief moments, this trailer makes the series look pretty damn good.
