CBS ‘Supergirl’ Premiere Spoilers: Boss Talks Going Against Batman Prequel ‘Gotham’

Spoiler Alert: Tonight, is the long awaited premiere episode of CBS’ all new DC Comics series, Supergirl. The Woman of Steel takes flight tonight at a special time, before landing up against Fox’s Batman prequel, Gotham. Check out the report below for a look at the new show, and just why the bosses at CBS are not worried about going up against Gotham.

The official plot synopsis for tonight’s premiere episode of Supergirl, reads:

“At 24, Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, decides the time has come to embrace her superhuman abilities and fulfill her destiny as a hero in the series premiere of this drama based on the DC Comics character Supergirl.”

Over the summer, CBS’ chairman, Nina Tassler opened up to reporters about the decision to put Supergirl up against Fox’s Gotham at the 2015 Television Critics Association press tour, saying (via IGN):

“Well, I think that they’re different audiences. I think Supergirl has a much bigger, broader audience. It’s more family entertainment. And they look different, they feel different.”

“We had 14.1 million streams of the [Supergirl] trailer. I don’t think anyone is worried about, 'Oh my god, there’s not enough audience out there to watch both those shows.' I think there will be.”
