We’ve only had one season of ‘Supergirl’ so far, but there’s plenty you may not know about Superman’s cousin.

Faster than a speeding bullet could announce that Supergirl would swoop in an official actor to play Superman, the Man of Steel is already here. Teen Wolf star Tyler Hoechlin will officially don the boots and red cape, appearing as both Superman and Clark Kent in two episodes of the new CW season.

The addition of Supergirl to The CW lineup of course demanded an epic four-way crossover with Arrow, Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, though fans of Glee alum Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin in particular have clamored for the talented casts to put their pipes to good use. Stephen Amell has put his green boot down, however, wanting to get Arrow back to its grounded roots, rather than go anywhere near musical territory.

Just this morning we learned that Supergirl’s move to The CW would of course bring about a massive four-way crossover with The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, and might our first teaser have already arrived? No, but The CW got real cute teasing Kara joining the ranks of our other DC heroes, also releasing the first trailer for Supernatural boss Jeremy Carver’s Frequency reboot.

It’s been some time since CBS boss Les Moonves first assured that Supergirl and other freshman dramas would get their renewals in due course, and at long last, Kara’s big day is here. Supergirl will officially return for Season 2, albeit with one major CW twist.

CBS’ Supergirl has had surprising difficulty getting Season 2 off the ground, a decision magnified by recent talk that CBS might seek either a reduced order, or potential move to The CW. Such a shift was considered unlikely at first, but now seems like a moderate possibility as the renewal deadline looms.

Last last night, word broke that Supergirl Season 2 was locked in a budget standoff between CBS and Warner Bros. TV, potentially considering a move to The CW, and another option has arrived. Production is discussing a move from California to Vancouver, though other outlets like Hulu are also starting to express interest.

Given though it seemed such a lucrative property like CBS’ Supergirl would soar into a second season, delayed confirmation has given fans cause for concern. And with good reason, it seems, as reports suggest CBS could drastically slash the budget for Season 2, even considering a move to The CW.

‘Supergirl’ confronts the “Better Angels” of her first season finale by an all-out final showdown with Non, but who pays the ultimate price? And what other DC easter eggs could point the way to Season 2? Find out in our full review!

The moment Supergirl folded in The Flash (and by extension Arrow) into its iteration of the “Multiverse,” questions arose as to which Earths might have unseen counterparts of familiar faces from either network. Now, Flash boss Andrew Kreisberg answers if we might see Melissa Benoist’s Kara Zor-El on The Flash, and what other DC moniker she might have.
