CBS's Supergirl: First Pics of Melissa Benoist in Costume

     Shortly after CBS's Supergirl began production this week, the actress portraying Kara Zor-El, cousin of the more well known Kal El (Clark Kent/Superman) Melissa Benoist tweeted the first pictures of her in her Kryptonian gear.
     Designer and Oscar winner Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for Arrow and The Flash, has said of this piece, "In designing Supergirl, I wanted to embrace the past, but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today."  I do appreciate the link in material to the Man of Steel's design, and the light homage to the old series in the style with the retro skirt and tall boots- but I think pants might do a bit better.  Well, at least she has tights on now.

THIS. I still can't believe I am wearing the House of El coat of arms. #supergirl #wbdctv pic.twitter.com/Nz6dNUR8fP
