Supergirl TV Series

Who thinks Green Lantern should appear in Supergirl?

It feels like GL should, but Flash already called dibs on Hal Jordan.

Earth 37 sounds like it has Superman, Batman, J'onn, and nothing else whatsoever.

Which Green Lantern? There's over 7000 of them.

If Earth 1 has Hal Jordan, then that lets John, Guy, Kyle, and I guess now Baz and Jessica for Kara's Earth.

Plenty of Lanterns to go around I figure.

I feel like Supergirl would called dibs on Jessica if they were going to use any of them.

The Supergirl Earth actually seems like most of the superheroes are aliens (Superman, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter) or powerless vigilantes (Batman, Guardian). Green Lanterns might fit right in, since they get their powers from an alien power source.

Honestly, though, the character I want to see is Ultra the Multi-Alien.

(2) Ditto.

My issue with those other Lanterns is that they aren't John Stewart. John Stewart is the only Green Lantern I respect.

That's a funny way of spelling Kyle Rayner. Aka the Torchbearer.

They are all ok.

Even Hal, who I know a lot of people hate for one reason or another, some justified, some not.

It all depends on how they are written. John is awesome now because Justice League got their hands on him and beefed up his cred a bit.

It doesn't matter who they use, as long as they do it well, and with alternate universes at play, they could easily use all of them.

Wait, are you saying a character's comic backstory and fanbase doesn't matter, only how well their portrayal is written and executed?

That's...

I'll let Phoebe answer for me

Sometimes, we need a little madness.

San Diego Comic Con panel.

The Lanterns should appear in more things, period.

Especially Ch'p.

Jessica Cruz and Dex-Starr

Dex-Starr is a red, but yes, he would be an excellent addition.

I was responding to the "Lanterns should appear in more things" and assumed it was a general all lanterns not just green lanterns, but didn't clarify what post I was responding to, whoops. Yeah, little rage kitty. I love him.

Erica Durance will be playing Alura in season 3

So now Astra is gonna look like Lois Lane then.

Fair enough.

Oh hey, now I remember her.

So I saw this post on Tumblr. And it reminded me about Alex in the early season 2 episodes with Maggie.

On that very first episode with the bar Alex slams one of the aliens in the bar to the ground for some information, I can't quite recall but I think she did it another time as well. Not sure if that was also in the bar.

I remember being very surprised that didn't end up getting her kicked out or banned, considering that was her very first time there.

Did anyone else find that a little bit odd?

That was her second time in the bar and I'm guessing it got a pass because she was looking for Maggie who was apparently a regular there. Realistically that was a huge no-no but personally, I think it would be odd for a black-ops agent to face consequences for excessive violence or property damage in pursuit of information. This is TV

the show brings up tons of things like this that they'll never address again. I'm a little disappointed but my being disappointed that they refuse to discuss the implications of character actions won't change anything.

My own interpretation is extremely cynical, and probably not what the writers intended.

The aliens are afraid of the police. Specifically, Maggie.

Alex was with Maggie when she decided to assault a random alien for information. But Maggie sat back and did nothing because she also wanted the information. Maggie essentially engaged in police brutality by proxy by letting Alex do the dirty work to get the information she wanted.

If the aliens running the bar kick Alex out, they run the risk of ticking Maggie off. And if Maggie gets ticked off, it would be very easy for her to get the NCPD to put pressure on the alien bar and its patrons. Maggie probably wouldn't actually retaliate against them, but the aliens don't know that. All they know is that Maggie is fine with them getting assaulted. (And the show indicates that aliens don't have any rights before the Alien Amnesty Act, so good luck getting other police officers to help them when the "pro-alien" cop is against them.)

Almost certainly not what the writers intended, but it makes perfect sense to me given what the writers have shown. they can tell us anything they want, but what they've shown supports your read of it. especially when you add in the context of the Master Jailer who was running around killing aliens who'd been at fort rozz (even if their crimes were non-violent and they'd more than served their time) and no law enforcement really caring too much....
