With Arrow though we had the same thing apart from Merlyn we didn't really get any GA villains except for VOTW types once or twice it's all more Batman than GA it seemed like.
My thing is I get them copying the more established mainstream characters to start but as the shows progressed we should get closer to faithful versions of the characters, you know use the better recognised counterpart copying to hook an audience then gradually show them what the character is meant to be.
As we are however 6 seasons into Arrow and apart from the odd comic accurate element he's still no where close to his comic counterpart so I wouldn't hold out too much hope for Supergirl, but I don't think a more comic accurate arc wouldn't hurt the series, it looked like we may have been getting that at the start of this season with Kara embracing being Kara Zor-El and rejecting Kara Danvers but it was too superficial and didn't last long enough, but it's also a reason why I think a LOSH arc would play great, as they could embrace those parts of the character for a 4-6 episode run where what she does only impacts her personality wise but not in a continuity way, her going darker and violent in the 31st century or whatever wouldn't ruin Supergirl as a hero in the 21st century image wise, which is the one thing I think would hold the show back as how do you justify the people idolising Supergirl as a hero and role model if she's dropping pricks out the sky to go splat?
No excuses for Arrow however as whats the harm in letting Oliver be more goody goody every now & then?
