After introducing to a new small screen Superman and Lynda Carter’s President of the United States, next week’s episode of Supergirl clearly hopes to keep that momentum going by turning the spotlight to an alien fight club which will see both the Girl of Steel and Miss Martian forced to compete by the villainous Roulette.
In the comics, Roulette is a incredibly sneaky, manipulative and devious villain who makes her money in many illegal rackets, most notably fighting tournaments involving metahumans. She’s a formidable martial artist herself and can fight with the best, something we got a taste of during her last appearance on television a number of years ago in Smallville.
For more on what to expect from this episode of Supergirl, check out the synopsis for “Survivors” below.
When Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Alex (Chyler Leigh) investigate the murder of an unregistered alien, the trail leads to an alien fight club run by Roulette (guest star Dichen Lachman), the ringmaster who commands aliens to fight in mortal combat for the entertainment of rich humans. While trying to stop the fighting, Supergirl and Martian Manhunter find themselves up against a surprising opponent. Meanwhile, Hank (David Harewood) is thrilled to have found another Martian and tries to get to know M’Gann (guest star Sharon Leal) better. Supergirl takes Mon-El (Chris Wood) under her wing and begins to train him.
There’s clearly a lot going on in this instalment then, including the ongoing saga of Martian Manhunter’s budding friendship with Miss Martian and Mon-El’s attempts to settle down on Earth. So far, Supergirl‘s move to The CW definitely seems to be paying off, and the show has yet to have a bad episode since making the leap from CBS.
