Television shows based on comic books are extremely popular right now, so you can't blame CBS for wanting to get in on the action too with DC Comics' Supergirl. Currently, the show is testing actresses for the lead role and the first name that emerged was Claire Holt. She is best known for her performances in CW's The Originals and The Vampire Diaries. If she wasn't your top choice then I have some good news for you today: According to The Hollywood Reporter, it doesn't sound like Holt will get the role.

Holt, meanwhile, is among the actresses testing to star in CBS' Supergirl, which has a hefty series commitment attached. (Sources tell THR that Holt is not expected to get the part.) - THR

Kara Zor-El aka Kara Danvers - Kara at age 12 was sent from her dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where she was taken in by the Danvers, a foster family who taught her to be careful with her extraordinary powers. After repressing said skills for more than a decade, Kara is forced to bust out her super moves in public during an unexpected disaster. Energized by her heroism for the first time in her life, she begins embracing her abilities in the name of helping the people of her city, earning herself a super moniker along the way. - TV Line

Studio Exec #1: She's way too perfect!
Studio Exec #2: Hmm, yes. But will casting her create enough headlines and controversy? Nope. Next!

Damn... well, that's disappointing to hear.

I hope the next actress up for the role is as good of a fit for Supergirl.

She was never going to get the part. When one name is linked for a role, its because her people leaked it to get her name out there. They knew she wasn't getting it so why not get some free publicity out of it.

So we are going to have this and Krypton running at the same time, but not in the same universe? Talk about a missed opportunity.

Good, she's not lead character material. Plus, she gets bored very easily.

Why would they make her name Kara Danvers? Sounds too similar to Carol Danvers

@jollem. I read on a Spider-Man thread that your a middle aged man. So I'm sorry. It was fun when I was giving attitude back to a petulant spoiled smarmy teen girl. But now I feel bad. You clearly have a lot of problems and don't need me to pile on.

So sorry. I wish you better luck.
