Melissa Benoist

The CW has found it’s Supergirl and she’s… a brunette? The Hollywood Reporter is reporting Glee‘s Melissa Benoist has been cast in the role of Superman’s younger cousin Kara Zor-El for the network’s proposed Supergirl TV-series.

And Supergirl may not be the only DC hero to get her own show as Deadline reports The CW is in talks to spin-off the Atom (Arrow‘s Brandon Routh) into his own show as well.
