Comic-Con Roundup

Sarah Hope gives an overview of the new trailers and teasers debuted at last weekends Comic-Con in San Diego

Last weekend at the San Diego Convention Center, the geeks of the world came together for the annual swarm that unites pop culture, sci-fi, video games, TV, film and nerd culture under one giant roof for four exciting days. Comic-Con International 2015 was full of cosplay (dressing up as your favorite characters) and celebrity. As usual, a number of new trailers and teasers were released for upcoming films and TV. Here are some of the most exciting. The first episode of CBS’s Supergirl was screened for the Comic-Con crowd. The series will introduce Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin-from-anutha-planet, who was sent to Earth in his wake. Working as a personal assistant at 24 years old, she finds no satisfaction. Like many of us in our rebellious early 20s, she wants to make a real difference in the world. But, under the tutelage of her older Earth-sister, she has kept her identity and her powers mum — until now. Melissa Benoist (as Supergirl) and Calista Flockhart (as her domineering boss, Cat Grant) seem to give dynamic performances: two girls making strides in different ways, lifting each other up and kicking some serious butt. Check out the first look trailer, released earlier this spring. Supergirl premieres October 26 on CBS.
