Deadline this afternoon posted some updates on the Supergirl TV project that is being developed by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television.
Contrary to earlier reports, Michael Green is not involved with his new project — but two familiar faces are.
Attached to the project now are Greg Berlanti, Executive Producer of the popular CW series Arrow who is also bringing The Flash to life later this year; and Ali Adler (Chuck, The New Normal). Berlanti and Adler worked together on the series No Ordinary Family for ABC a few years back. Adler is set to write the script, and it is expected that DC’s Geoff Johns will also be involved.
The in-development project will be “a new interpretation of the Supergirl character and her story.” Deadline is noting that the show does not have an official name yet, which implies to us will not be called by the obvious title, which would be Supergirl.
With the project being in development, that means no network is tied in yet, and a pilot is not yet set to be shot. Stay tuned for more details when and if they become available…

This is good news I like both Arrow and The Flash. I did like what I saw of No Ordinary Family. Ali Adler wrote my favorite episodes of Chuck in Season One. I did like the episodes she wrote in Season Two of Chuck as well.
All i know is they NEED to cast Dianna Agron in the role. I’ve seen ALOT of image manips of her in the Supergirl outfit and it just works way to well for her not to be considered.
