    1. In universe, Jimmy Olsen had 10 years of being a Sidekick to Superman. He’s grown out of being a teenage geek.

    2. Every single costume she tries on is an actual previous Supergirl Costume… it’s a mythology gag. (I think it’s hilarious.) It’s the pilot, you’ll never see it again. Relax.

    3. Because they’re cutting out Superman *outright*. He’s mentioned by name exactly once, and alluded to a few more times… this is a series about Supergirl, not Superman.

    Hmmmm,..ummm,..okay
    None of that is better
    I dont really care for GLEE with superpowers
    Rather they do Big Bang with superpowers atleast i’ll get a laugh or 2

    have a copy of Supergirl pilot ,….
    But I’m really hesitant about watching it after viewing Greg bertlanti’s take on Jimmy Olsen
    Implying that being a nerd is a thing you grow out of is truly insulting
    Older,wiser is fine when portraying maturity but,..just NO to any of this!!

    “So what characteristics truly define Jimmy Olsen and how does this play with the older, hunkier version seen in the new SUPERGIRL series? Three defining characteristics stand out in the examples I mentioned previously: he’s a journalist, he’s naïve/earnest, and he’s a stand in for youth culture. At first glance, Mehcad Brooks’s Olsen only meets one of the three criteria. He’s a photojournalist sure, but Melissa Benoist’s Supergirl seems more apt to represent her generation, and she certainly seems more naïve than Olsen’s character.

    But maybe Brooks’ Olsen represents a different aspect of “youth culture”, or at least the twenty-something generation that CBS hopes will watch the show. If Benoist’s Supergirl represents the fresh faced, transitioning, twenty something, Brooks’ Olsen represents the established twenty something on the cusp of adulthood.

    SUPERGIRL’s Olsen still represents youth culture, just a different aspect. SUPERGIRL’s Olsen might still play video games, but he does so in the living room of his condominium that he bought with the salary from his well-paying job. Olsen is sexy because he goes to the gym, he knows who he is, and he has an established wardrobe that fits him. And, judging from the trailers, Olsen still possesses that quality of earnestness, which he shows in his genuine desire to assist Supergirl. In SUPERGIRL, earnestness is portrayed as an appealing and attractive characteristic, as opposed to a turn-off in previous films.

    Jimmy Olsen is an ever evolving, ever changing character. He’s not bound to the strict rules that define more prominent characters like Batman or Superman. Olsen’s new, sexier iteration evolves the character. His earnestness and youth are no longer obstacles, they’re assets that will make him more exciting than ever. Anyone who wants to see their comics evolve with society should embrace the new Jimmy Olsen, as he’s not going anywhere.”

    I still kinda wish Berlanti & Co. had just gone with Mehcad Brooks as John Henry Irons instead of Jimmy Olsen for the SUPERGIRL show

    wait,..you mean the gay Hollywood producer OR me??
    because I (meaning me) felt Berlanti put way too much of his own thoughts&fantasy into Jimmy Olsen
    Plus needed any excuse to cast a muscular actor

    How is it that the New Supergirl series looks more fun than the upcoming Superman/Batman Movie?
