I'm expecting Brainaic to dramatically throw off his cape for the final battle

Glad they didn't give her the buzzcut of fauxhawk hairstyle

It's amazing how much time this process can take sometimes.
My first audition was just a recording that I did on my phone while I was travelling (I was in Barcelona at the time), and that led to a zoom callback with Jake and the other creators/producers. About a week after the callback I got a call that I booked the role
The main tenchi inspo in 206 was the thought projector she and Clark wear, with the little cheek symbols! I hadn't thought about the Ryoko parallels, but they're DEFINITELY there. Pretty sure Kara's storyline was originally Brendan's idea--Supergirl as Vegeta--but we're all so deep in the paint that every other Supergirl we've ever met has to be bleeding into this interpretation.
I would love to do a Mongol arc, I would love to see shirtless gladiator Superman, ideally across multiple episodes, sweating it out in front of a crowd. Imagine how shiny he could get?? We're always looking for that sweet spot between serving our relationship/character arcs and getting our superhero candy, but Mongol has been on the idea board for every season so far
The most challenging episode *I* wrote was 209, which I can't say much about... but it's a big swing with a lot of concepts that we had to get across in 22 minutes, while serving several different character arcs. Episodes with a bigger cast and scope to serve are always tricky. It was really rewarding though, and I ended up reworking a few things with the director, Jen Bennet, that I think came out a lot stronger
our new S3 Art Director, Austin Reinkens, is figuring out the literal character heights this week--we've been going off of relative scale until now. He's well over six feet tall, though. And thank you for enjoying the characters!
We WILL look in the Fortress. The original client in the pilot was Bruno Manheim but we had to cut that thread for time!
Alice Lee, who plays Lois Lane, would *FREQUENTLY* say "Spider-Man" instead of Superman for like MOST of Season One, and we all died EVERY TIM
We wanted Kara to be almost an Elseworlds, What-If version of Superman, and to examine the struggle of isolation from different circumstances--she's got so many origins, we felt comfortable being flexible.
My ideal number of seasons is five, maybe six, and then a movie.
brendan has such a good pitch for him, too [Mod Note: Batman]
We initially used "kneel" at the end of S1 to deliberately mislead you all... i hope it worked... and for Brainiac it's a power thing. He's reversing the pecking order. Your turn to kneel.
The Heat Wave thing would even funnier if it was still a male Heat Wave
.When Jimmy Olsen is more of a red flag than Lois Lane

Oh, poor Jimmy.
Just imagine Kara gets a love rival

6/29: It's interesting for sure. The show occasionally mentions mermaids and Atlantis and of course Lori was one of those names on the Flamebird livefeed in the Zero Day 2 parter. There's gotta be a plan. Jimmy wanted to catch Bigfoot and instead met Mallah. Could be something like that happening.
