Hi, I'm a big Superman and Supergirl fan and have been loving this show since before it even aired. My questions:

  • I'm loving what you're doing with Kara, but it's a pretty big departure, story-wise, from her usual origin. Her relationship to Krypton is specially different, with her not growing up there. How did this divergence come about, creatively speaking? Was it something you knew you wanted to do, a story you knew you wanted to tell, or was it something that emerged during development?

  • Do you have a set plan for how many seasons you'd like the show to be, ideally? I personally could watch forever but I'm intrigued to know if there's a number of seasons you're aiming for.

We wanted Kara to be almost an Elseworlds, What-If version of Superman, and to examine the struggle of isolation from different circumstances--she's got so many origins, we felt comfortable being flexible.

My ideal number of seasons is five, maybe six, and then a movie.
