Supergirl - Bizarro

Melissa Benoist does double duty her as both Supergirl and Maxwell Lord‘s (Peter Facinelli) pet science experiment in an evil doppelganger of National City’s savior Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) decides to name Bizarro. If there were any doubt, the episode firmly cements Max as the show’s Lex Luthor and removes any question as to the man’s true nature or motives. Of course the show does have a reset button in its back-pocket should J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood) decide to use his powers to limit Lord as a threat both to Supergirl and the DEO.

Supergirl - Strange Visitor From Another Planet

“Strange Visitor From Another Planet” introduces a new threat to the show when a White Martian shows up in National City to attack an anti-alien Senator (Tawny Cypress) in the hopes of drawing out J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood). The show’s new villain allows Supergirl to set-up its version of J’onn’s backstory while also possibly laying the foundation for the introduction of Miss Martian somewhere down the line. The choice to make the White Martian a strong enough threat that it takes both J’onn and Kara (Melissa Benoist) working together to stop it also works to underline teases the looming threat of far more of the nearly-unstoppable aliens just a couple of planets away.

Rule One: Time Masters lie. Taking place in the same shared universe of Arrow and The Flash, The CW’s latest super-hero series takes supporting heroes and villains from both shows and unites them with a common purpose.
