Supergirl - Worlds Finest

When Barry (Grant Gustin) met Kara (Melissa Benoist). Ever since CBS brought Supergirl to the air this is the crossover fans had been clamoring for. From the the bleakness of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, “Worlds Finest” (pulling on the classic name of super-hero team-ups) is a lighthearted romp of an episode fueled by two of DC’s most likable heroes. While attempting to increase his speed to battle Zoom, the Flash accidentally breaks through a dimensional barrier to arrive on the alternate Earth where Supergirl takes place. Less freaked out by the occurrence than curious about each other, Barry and Kara bond almost immediately (which is good for the Girl of Steel given she’s got two villains to fight in this episode).

Supergirl - Manhunter

The fallout of Supergirl‘s (Melissa Benoist) exposure to Red Kryptonite continues this week as our heroine fights to win back the trust of the citizens of National City. Through both flashbacks and the interrogation of DEO agents by James Harper (Eddie McClintock) and Lucy (Jenna Dewan-Tatum), “Manhunter” also fills the audience in on J’onn Jonzz‘s (David Harewood) initial appearance on Earth and how he came to take over the life of Hank Henshaw. While continuing down a road involving major changes for multiple characters, the episode takes the time to throw in a few fun nuggets for longtime comic fans (such as the Manhunter’s love of Chocos and the introduction of Project Cadmus).

Supergirl - Falling

Supergirl continues to build on the show’s mythology in “Falling.” Last week introduced Kara (Melissa Benoist) to the Fortress of Solitude. This week’s episode introduces Supergirl and her friends to the effects of Red Kryptonite. Choosing to have Red Kryptonite be an invention of Maxwell Lord (Peter Facinelli) is a smart one that explains why Superman’s black friend James “Don’t Call Me Jimmy” Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) doesn’t recognized the effects of the Kryptonite that isn’t lethal to Kryptonians but instead adversely affects their personality (because he’s never seen the effects on the Man of Steel).

Supergirl - Truth, Justice and the American Way

Kara (Melissa Benoist) begins to feel the fallout of recent weeks as she mourns the death of Astra (Laura Benanti) which she wrongly blames J’onn (David Harewood) for, and prepares for an inevitable showdown with Non (Chris Vance), and learns she’s been replaced and demoted by Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) in favor of her new hire Siobhan Smythe (Italia Ricci). She is confronted by Superman’s black friend James “Don’t Call Me Jimmy” Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) who is increasingly conflicted over how the DEO’s treatment of Maxwell Lord (Peter Facinelli) and his friend’s willingness to ignore the fact for “the greater good.”
