Season 1 of Supergirl has made it’s way to Blu-Ray. And as a bit of prep for those that didn’t watch it, a short recap of some of the highlights. Especially since it was picked up by The CW.
The reveal that Hank was not in fact Hank, but rather J’onn J’onzz was something of a turning point for the series. After that, there were fewer totally episodic plots. And having one of the most powerful members of the DC roster on the show, yet also reticent to actually use his powers in any meaningful way lent a bit to drama.
The crossover they had with The Flash was pretty enjoyable, even though Barry didn’t exactly think through the whole “throwing lightning at an electricity-based villain” thing. A notable episode, since it established the show as at least part of the Berlanti multiverse. Also features Barry’s complete inability to fool Cat Grant into believing his crap.
I’ll round it out with their Red Kryptonite episode. Sadly, it featured no Super Pope Hat™, but enough of Kara acting like a jerk to fit the bill for such things. Aside from forcing J’onn out into the spotlight just to hold her back, it did one other thing. If you ever wound up watching The Devil Wears Prada and found yourself wondering why Meryl Streep’s character never got chucked off of a building, this episode had you covered.
