Yes. It's a photoshoot for Variety, it can't be taken as an indication that the shows are going to be connected.

His earlier stuff was good, like Dark Knight Returns and arguably Sin City.

It's just that it's...gradually gotten worse since then.

See, I've -never- liked the art in Dark Knight Returns. It's just bad bad bad. Sin City the badness at least attributed to the overall shitty atmosphere of Sin City.

Still a crazy fun photo, though.

Frank Miller does black and white and silhouettes pretty well. Otherwise, his art is VERY amateurish.

I don't watch Flash and I'm not sure about Supergirl yet, but this is the cutest damned thing I've seen in a long time.

Hmm... you guys all hate Miller's art (the only good thing about Miller) but liked Kelly Jones's shitty style... I don't think we can be friends anymore.

I can accept not liking Jones' style and liking Miller's style. But I will never accept that Miller's art is good. I never claimed to call Jones' style good, just that I liked it aesthetically, but I'm not going to call it good.

Saying I like something and saying it's good are two separate things.

Celt Z · May 19, 2015

I would say Miller's style is definitely distinctive, but would I call it good? Ehhhhh...sometimes it's better than others, even on the same page.

Covar · May 19, 2015

his layouts are top notch, or at least they were. I stay away from his stuff mostly.

Although All-Star Batman & Robin is one of the funniest things I've read.

fade · May 19, 2015

My favorite newer penciller is Jake Wyatt, hands down. Babs Tarr is good too.

CynicismKills · May 19, 2015

Esad Ribic's work is absolutely fantastic.

Personally, I'm curious to see how things turn out with the guy that Kara confides her secret identity to. That's supposed to be Winslow Schott, better known as the Superman villain Toyman.

I'm more curious about the guy heading up the secret government agency, that's Hank Henshaw, better known as the Cyborg Superman.

More serious shots from the Flash / Supergirl photoshoot:

evilmike · Aug 28, 2015

I'm concerned about the tone of the new show. It's almost as if the star and the producers don't understand they're in the DC universe. Where's the grimdark?

(via io9)

fade · Aug 28, 2015

That is one muted costume, though.

Covar · Aug 28, 2015

Looking at the promotional shots a few posts above with her and Flash I think that has more to do with the natural lighting and lack of post processing. It is pretty inline with Arrow and Flash's costumes though, which are designed by the same person as Supergirl's.

Honestly, the DC TV shows seem to have been spared that fate. Arrow can get a bit dark and it started grim, but it's pulled back from the rough beginning while maintaining a certain level of darkness appropriate to Green Arrow. The Flash, on the other hand, has for the most part been fun and really joyous with its feel.

CBS has released a first look at The Red Tornado, who will be appearing on Supergirl:

PatrThom · Sep 20, 2015

Red Tornado? Really?
Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.

Tiger Tsang · Sep 20, 2015

Meh, this is one of those situations where actual footage and not 'On Set' photos needs to be applied

sixpackshaker · Sep 20, 2015

And the news is branding the Tornado as a villain.

I am disappointed that the first Red Tornado won't be the cleaning lady with a bucket on her head.

He was the team leader on the excellent Young Justice series, and appeared in the Justice League Unlimited series.

Frank · Sep 21, 2015

That looks like Star Trek TOS levels of shitty alien makeup.

fade · Sep 21, 2015

I like the way the costume looks like one big vent.

I thought the Flash and Arrow's costumes looked like assbutt when the first pictures were released, We'll have to see how it looks in action before making any judgement.

Even though Supergirl isn't sharing a universe with the Flash or the Green Arrow, she is apparently sharing a universe with another TV show:

Parks and Rec

After all, Perd Hapley is doing the news.

I was thinking the same thing last night! I expected the last name to say "Knope", not "Willis".

Hank Henshaw -- Wow. I did not see that reveal coming. That was certainly a King Shark level moment.

J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter

DarkAudit · Dec 8, 2015

There is only one TV Universe. And sooner or later Supergirl WILL be assimilated.

I thought Supergirl was already part of the Perd Hapley universe, and was headed for a crossover with Parks and Recreation.

I saw this last night and wanted to post it! It was a cool reveal!

Leslie Knope working with Supergirl.... :aaah:
