Supergirl - The Complete First Season

JC Alvarez READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Her name is Kara Zor-El. She's among the last survivors of a planet in a galaxy far away, and she was sent to Earth with a critical mission: keep her infant cousin Kal-El safe and one day, the pair will grow up to become their adoptive home world's greatest champions. Unfortunately for Kara, when the planet Krypton exploded, it sent her rocket ship off course and when she finally found her way, her grown-up cousin had become Superman!

Now a young woman, Kara Danvers struggles to live in her famous cousin's shadow and pursue a life of her own on an alien planet where she is as powerful as a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings, and is faster than a speeding bullet. That is ideal for coffee runs while working under the iron gaze of media mogul Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) in the concrete jungles of National City - and battling super-powered menaces!

This is "Supergirl" - The Complete First Season starring the charismatic ingenue Melissa Benoist as the Girl of Steel, who first won audiences hearts with her breakout role in "Glee." Now she battles enemy threats to national security as an agent of the DEO, the Department of Extra-Normal Operations in startling full 1080p HD and DTS-HD Master Audio! So every whoosh! and super-powered punch echoes for days!

Created by Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg the same super-producers that have helped establish in primetime an expanding DC Comics universe, "Supergirl" successfully carries the same spirit as their previous hits including The CW's "Arrow" and "The Flash" and sports a winning ensemble cast including Chyler Leigh, Mehcad Brooks, and Jeremy Jordan, all joining the fight for truth, justice and the American way.

Among the series' greatest highlights, and a particularly wonderful treat for the fans was the crossover episode that brought together the world's finest when Supergirl met the fastest man alive, The Flash (Grant Gustin) and the two costumed heroes shared an adventure. Now that "Supergirl" will be joining the rest of the DC Comics TV shows on The CW when it returns for its second season this fall. Rumor has it; another famous "super" will be guest-starring next year.

The 3-disc Blu-ray set features all 20 First Season episodes of "Supergirl" and includes some never-before-seen deleted scenes and a gag reel. Additional bonus content reveals the secrets of Kara's (and her famous cousin's) home planet in the documentary "A World Left Behind: Krypton" and learn the truth about "The Man From Mars" - Kara's most powerful ally J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter played by David Harewood.

"Supergirl" is a delight and a rare treat that can be enjoyed by every member of the family. It's an appealing mix of comic-book high-flying adventure and sincerely heart-warming family drama that boasts special effects to rival any Hollywood blockbuster, but on a weekly primetime schedule. You will believe that this girl can fly!
