The special features for the first season of Supergirl have also been revealed today, and it sounds like they’ll offer up an interesting look at key elements of the DC Comics adaptation.

– Deleted Scenes

The first season of Supergirl is already available on Digital HD from online retailers such as Amazon Video, iTunes, PlayStation and several others, so there’s really no excuse not to start catching up now if you missed the show when it aired. CBS marketed the series toward female viewers, but there’s something for everyone here and the adaptation should definitely make comic book fans very happy.

Despite its many frustrating references to Superman, the show did a superb job of fleshing out Kara and paid homage to the source material in a really great way by introducing very faithful takes on characters like Martian Manhunter, Silver Banshee and Maxwell Lord. How much Supergirl will change in its second year remains to be seen, but it’s certainly well worth catching up on before then.
