The Linda Danvers Supergirl sounds more interesting. It would be nice to see Supergirl battling vampires, zombies, werewolves and other supernatural entities. I have never associated the character with those elements. If CBS went with that approach it would definitely be more like Buffy, which isn't a bad thing.

I came across this article from Deadine, and when they were still pitching the show, the showrunners said they were going to do a "new" interpretation of Supergirl and her story. Well it isn't really new because as Dazz said she's really just a female Clark Kent.

Yeah. Linda Danvers is more interesting and unique. Not only did she have her own superpowers and backstory that was very different than Superman’s and any other superhero we have seen on screen she had her own reoccurring villains and setting in Leesburg. You might also be interested to know Linda wore a blonde wig when she was Supergirl and her real hair colour was brown (as seen below). If they had gone through with the Linda Danvers/Supergirl’ movie that was being written by her creator, Peter David it would have been very different than the show we have now and the Helen Slater movie and I think we would still have her as the Supergirl today and a number of people working at DC have even said it ‘cause she was more popular than Kara and a movie could have seen her explode. The ‘Linda Danvers’ series got more fan letters from female readers than any other comic book series ever had at the time and was more popular among female readers than Wonder Woman.
One funny thing about Linda Danvers you might not be aware of is she married Superman in the comic books and they had a daughter together who was Supergirl in the future.

Linda Danvers was meant to continue as Superwoman after they brought back Kara Zor-El but sadly, Peter David had a falling out with one of the high ups at DC in the mid 00s over the direction of the character and left the company. There was an unofficial follow up series he made called 'Fallen Angel' (which was actually originally meant to be the name of the comic books but DC made him tone it down a lot and decided to make Linda the new 'Supergirl') and in 'Fallen Angel' the lead character Liandra Lee mentions a lot of the events that happened in the 'Supergirl' comic books and is very similar to Linda in personality and when asked if she was the same character Peter David said yes but he couldn't confirm it being under another company.

Quick question Deb: aren't Supergirl and Superman cousins? How did they get married? Sorry if it's a silly question but I'm clueless.
