Secondo le parole di Melissa Benoist, la legione dei super eroi sarebbe in programma per essere presentata durante il serial, ma non sa quando.
Abbiamo già visto l'anello della legione nell'episodio di kevin Smith, e potrebbe essere più di un easter egg

Will The Legion Of Super-Heroes Arrive in Supergirl Season 3?



Supergirl is one of the best comic book-based shows on TV — and while it's not always the most comic book-accurate (we're looking at you, Cyborg Superman and Mister Mxyzptlk), it mixes the fun and uplifting spirit of the Silver Age with the high-stakes and emotional core of modern superhero storytelling. Though not much is known about the show's upcoming third season aside from the fact that Reign will play a part as the main villain, there's a good chance Supergirl may live up to a promise stretching back to its first season, and send Kara Danvers all the way to the thirty-first century to hang out with the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Supergirl has been teasing the Legion's arrival since the first season when Kara visited the Fortress of Solitude and among its many artifacts was a Legion flight ring. Since then, there have been hints both on and off the show, with Supergirl herself, Melissa Benoist, noting, "The Legion Ring, I believe, is on its way — but I don't know exactly when," when asked about the team by TV Line.

The finale of Supergirl's second season may have provided a path to the 31st century for Kara, as Mon-El was pulled into a mysterious portal on his way out of Earth's orbit. It's more than likely that portal either leads to the Phantom Zone or directly to the 31st century itself, but either way, it wouldn't be too surprising to see Kara journey to the future and find her lost love waiting for her when she gets there.


Adding the Legion to Supergirl even for a couple of episodes opens up the opportunity for dozens of new character interactions and provides Kara the opportunity for new superhero friends to relate to that she doesn't have back home. Martian Manhunter and Superman are both more parental figures than friends, and aside from them, everyone she meets with powers is usually trying to kill her. It would be a positive experience for her to hang out with Saturn Girl, Bouncing Boy and Triplicate Girl and relate to heroes who know what she goes through.

Supergirl could also add its own speedster to the ranks and somewhat tie into the Flash's legacy by bringing in XS, who in the comics is Barry Allen's granddaughter and cousin to Bart Allen, AKA Impulse. While we're likely to never see the Earth-Supergirl incarnation of Barry Allen, it would be nice to hint that he's out there somewhere and he still has a legacy within the Speed Force, even if he doesn't become The Flash in this particular timeline.


The addition of the Legion of Super-Heroes also brings opportunties to spice up the one place Supergirl has always felt incredibly lacking: Kara's love life. Her season one relationship with James always felt forced and her uncontrollable love for Mon-El was unconvincing for most of season two. However, while bringing Kara to the 31st century would reunite her with Mon-El, it would also bring in one of Kara's most enduring romantic interests from the comics, Brainiac 5.


While most of Kara's romantic pursuits have been uninteresting and hardly captivating, introducing a futuristic love triangle in season three would present new opportunities and new dilemmas for Supergirl, both romantically and ethically. She's already faced off with Brainiac 8 and knows of the original's reputation, so what kind of thought process would she go through when confronted with a "good" Brainiac that she shares an undeniable connection with?

The time-jump to the 31st century also opens up the list of villains Supergirl could face, mixing things up from the usual "secret alien in National City" formula the series has found itself in. The current Supergirl comic has pitted Kara against The Emerald Empress in the present day, but it takes an entire Legion of Super-Heroes to take on the Fatal Five in the future, and who knows, maybe one or two villains make the jump back to the present day to cause some trouble for Kara in her home timeline.

Supergirl-Emerald-Empress
One of the best things about the Legion is its massive roster, and a show like Supergirl would be able to exploit that incredibly well. Imagine an episode all about Supergirl having to team-up with the Legion of Substitute Heroes, or a Supergirl/Matter Eater Lad team-up. We already know that Superman has met the Legion because their flight ring is in his Fortress, but what if some wires get crossed and Kara ends up hanging out with a teenaged Superboy who has just met the team? It would switch-up the dynamics in a fun way and give Kara a chance to impart some important lessons to the cousin she never got the chance to watch grow up.

If the Legion of Super-Heroes did show up, it would certainly be exciting, but why should Supergirl get all the fun? After last years "Invasion!" crossover between Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, this year's inevitable event has to go even bigger. So what's bigger than a jump one thousand years into the future? Imagine seeing Barry Allen interact with perpetual do-gooder Cosmic Boy, Green Arrow compare stubble with Lightning Lad and White Canary go toe-to-toe with Karate Kid. There are so many opportunities to make the extended Arrowverse even bigger and better with the Legion, and Supergirl is the link to get it there.


There's always the dream that the Legion turns out to be so popular that it gets spun off into its own show, too; it's such a large cast that it would be shame to waste it on what would be a handful of episodes in Supergirl's third season. A backdoor pilot situation would allow The CW to gauge the interest in the Legion as a franchise, and also compare it to CBS All-Access' upcoming Star Trek: Discovery, to see if the appetite for far future sci-fi is there among audiences. The CW shows excel at team dynamics and soap opera storytelling with high-stakes superhero settings, which describes the Legion of Super-Heroes to a tee. No other DC Comics property fits The CW's mold more than the Legion, and if the network introduces the team in Supergirl's third season, it might have the next breakout hit on its hands.

Supergirl Casts Smallville Star Erica Durance in Recurring Role



Supergirl just cast another DCTV alum for Season 3. Today, The CW announced that Smallville star Erica Durance — who played Lois Lane on the hit series — will take over the role of Alura Zor-El from Laura Benanti. Due to prior commitments, Benanti was unable to return, despite having played Supergirl's mother Alura and her twin sister Astra over the first two seasons of the show.

"Unfortunately Laura, who Greg [Berlanti] and I have worked with for years going back to Eli Stone, was unable to continue in the role due to work commitments in NY," explained executive producer Andrew Kreisberg. "But we are so blessed that Erica has come aboard to offer her own interpretation of Kara's mother. We had tremendous success with a former Lois Lane last season with Teri Hatcher. We know Erica will continue the proud tradition of legacy actors joining our shows and creating new and exciting takes on classic DC characters."


Durance's Alura will have a recurring arc in Season 3. She joins a number of other legacy actors in the show, including Dean Cain (Lois & Clark), Helen Slater (1984's Supergirl) and Teri Hatcher (Lois & Clark). Notably, Hatcher also appeared in Smallville as Lois' mother Ella.

Durance is no stranger to the Last Children of Krypton. She played intrepid reporter Lois Lane over six seasons of Smallville and even ran into Laura Vandervoort's version of Supergirl on a number of occasions. Since then, she has starred in Saving Hope for five seasons and appeared in Painkillers, Charlie's Angels and more.

According to the Supergirl Season 3 synopsis,

Supergirl is an action-adventure drama based on the DC character Kara Zor-El, (Melissa Benoist) Superman's (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents' help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later, Kara was living in National City and still concealing her powers, when a plane crash threatened Alex's life and Kara took to the sky to save her. Now, Kara balances her work as a reporter for CatCo Worldwide Media with her work for the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), a super-secret government organization whose mission is to keep National City and the Earth safe from sinister threats. At the DEO, Kara works for J'onn J'onzz (David Harewood), the Martian Manhunter, and alongside her sister, Alex, and best friend, Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan). Also in Kara's life are media mogul Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart), James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), a photo journalist who moonlights as Guardian, a masked vigilante, Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath), and Mon-El of Daxam (Chris Wood), whose planet was ravaged by Krypton's destruction. As Kara struggles to navigate her relationships and her burgeoning life as a reporter, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.

Returning to The CW on Monday, October 9th at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as the Girl of Steel, David Harewood as Martian Manhunter, Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers and Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott, with appearances by Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant and Tyler Hoechlin as Superman.

Adesso questa serie si ritrova con uno strano problema, nella stagione 3 ci saranno Erica Durance e Odette Annable che come ATTRICI sono 10 spanne sopra la protagonista Melissa Benoist

Adesso questa serie si ritrova con uno strano problema, nella stagione 3 ci saranno Erica Durance e Odette Annable che come ATTRICI sono 10 spanne sopra la protagonista Melissa Benoist

Il tutto è opinabile, ma anche dando per vere le premesse (la tua opinione che la Benoist recita malissimo al confronto delle altre due) non vedo quale sia il problema.
Non è raro che l'attore protagonista sia di caratura inferiore rispetto a qualche comprimario (Vedi Star Wars, e paragona la recitazione di sir Alec Guinness/Ben Kenobi a quella di Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker.
