It would be foolish if we didn’t focus on Superman’s interaction with the title hero as his chemistry with Benoist was so magical that I could watch these two talk or do anything for hours. However the best part of his role in the episode was that he didn’t overshadow the Girl of Steel, which I know has been a big concern by fans and critics. While it was fantastic, his presence definitely felt like a guest-appearance of a fellow hero in someone else’s comic series. As amazing as the first hour was with the two Super-cousins, something tells me that next week will kick it up a notch.
Verdict: If we exclude the awkward Jimmy/Kara development, “The Adventures of Supergirl” was a flawless season premiere that felt like the perfect issue of your favorite comic book. While I didn’t touch upon the ending with Brenda Strong’s debut, that is now creating Metallo, I called it, that she would be revealed as the evil Doctor of Project Cadmus. It will be fun to see how Cadmus plays as a big bad for the new season and what sort of threats we can expect. But overall, the season two premiere of Supergirl was (pun intended) absolutely super.
