A few weeks back the announcement was made that Smallville would be getting a new cast addition in the guide of Supergirl, or Kara as she will be called on the show. Some more information has come forward concerning the role and how she will fit into the Smallville universe. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the news is the positive reaction from fans, a sharp contrast to Supernatural fans who are having a tough time with feminine additions to their landscape. Last week the CW issued a press release announcing the addition of the Kara character. From the sounds of things she will be a regular character and will be very intertwined into the Smallville goings ons from the Planet to the Luthor mansion. The press release states:On SMALLVILLE, the seventh season premiere kicks off with the arrival of Supergirl, whose name is Kara, as Clark's (Tom Welling) 19-year-old cousin. She was born on Krypton and is the daughter of Zor-El, Jor-El's brother. Kara possesses all of Clark's powers and one he doesn't yet have ?? she can fly! Kara also has a strong, rebellious streak that puts her at odds with Clark, and puts her onto Lex's (Michael Rosenbaum) radar. In addition, she takes a romantic interest in Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore).So far the response from Smallville fans has been overwhelmingly positive; a sharp contrast to the venom bubbling over from the Supernatural fan community over the addition of two new female characters. Of course, in Smallville this is yet another inclusion of a well known character from the DC Comic legacy, where time-slot neighbor Supernatural's new cast members are still an unknown quantity.As far as who is going to be playing Supergirl, so far that is an unknown and may remain that way until the San Diego Comic-Con. Rumor has it the producers are saving the announcement for the annual convention.
