I noticed this link on TotalFark [paid r.r.]:
Rumours from joblo.com are circulating round the net that Warner have a script commissioned and are looking for a ‘college age’ actress to take the role.
Hotly tipped is star of TV series ‘[tag]Battlestar Galactica[/tag]’, [tag]Tricia Helfer[/tag], although at 33 she is reportedly deemed ‘a little old’ for the role.
Purists may not be too happy either, as the studio is intent on making the film, er, ‘of interest’ to younger men, so expect a tighter costume and a looser plot.
Apparently, the writer is living in the past. Today’s Supergirl is a bit of a hussy. Look at this week’s Brave and the Bold #2, featuring a team-up with [tag]Supergirl[/tag] and Green Lantern:
Kara Zor-El spends almost the entire issue flirting with [tag]Green Lantern[/tag], who is well into his 30s (it’s hard to tell, considering his age has been retconned several times and he’s come back from the dead once) and has to keep reminding himself that she’s just 17, which he repeats like a mantra. She later ends up wearing this baby doll outfit that just, um, never mind. 17. 17. 17.
And consider this scene from Supergirl #15:
She’s giving her boyfriend of the day some “good touches,” right before it’s revealed he’s a super powered creep from Apokolips who’s worshiped her from afar ever since she had been captured and brainwashed by Darkseid. He gets all punchy with Kara, and she gets all POed fully-powered Kryptonian on him and kicks him in places best left unkicked.
Supergirl has been seen attending a drinking party where she grind-dances with a guy (threatening to vaporize him if he tells anyone) and her roommate is a 20-something superhero, who just happens to be the son of supervillain Captain Boomerang. She’s also been captured noticing the nice ass on Nightwing.
This is quite a change from the super powered yet virginal girl-next-door character that existed from 1959 to 1985.
Speaking of virginity, is she? A virgin, I mean. Considering she’s a Kryptonian, one presumes she has a Hymen of Steel, so I doubt that her roomie Boomer has done the deed. She was a pawn of Darkseid briefly, and theoretically he has the stamina necessary to accomplish the task, but there’s no mention of his having taken advantage of the situation. So, I’m assuming that unless she surrendered mer maidenhead back on Argo City, she’s still intact.
That doesn’t rule out heavy petting and more “good touches,” if you know what I mean.
So who would I like to see as the next Supergirl on the silver screen. First, we can rule out skanks like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. They are far, far, far too shopworn for flirty-yet-virginal Kara Zor-El.
I suggest [tag]Hayden Panettiere[/tag], who plays super-powered [tag]Claire Bennet[/tag] on [tag]Heroes[/tag].
Cute as a bug. 17. 17, 17.
