Supergirl swoops into Smallville


Here is the CW's official photograph of Laura Vandervoort--the chick that is going to play Clark's cousin, Kara on Smallville.

Clark's cousin Kara is better known as Supergirl.

It is amazing to me that Smallville will be on season seven. It is not like the series is in decline...season six had some solid moments. The move to introduce Kara is good one for the series. Jonathon (dead) and Martha (politicking in DC) are not around...so it will be good that Clark still has some family around the Kent farm.

Smallville does such a good job with the characters of the DC universe (Green Arrow, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter) that I'm confident that they will smoothly work in the Supergirl myth into the Smallville narrative.
