For a generation that may not have grown up with the Helen Slater Supergirl movie, one face has been etched in their minds as Kara Zor-El: Laura Vandervoort, who played the character in the seventh season of Smallville as well as in episodes in later seasons.
Vandervoort is currently starring in the Syfy series Bitten, so it is unlikely she’ll be in contention for the new Supergirl series from Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler, and Sarah Schechter for CBS… but she did wish them good luck on Twitter yesterday:
@THR @GBerlanti @AliAdler Wishing you all luck with the new #Supergirl series. We need more heroic woman on television.

Supergirl has a “series commitment” for CBS.
