As you may have heard, CBS is jumping on the "superhero bandwagon that shows no sign of slowing, and will eventually be as popular as CNN's Ebola coverage" with the development of a Supergirl TV show. WOOT! WOOT! And... It will probably be terrrrrible. On the upside, they haven't cast it yet, so here's YOUR opportunity to play the "gal of steel" for CBS. Here's casting info, provided by TV Line:

For Kara Zor-El aka Kara Danvers, the show is eyeing Caucasian females, age 22 to 26, to play 24. As the series’ mythology goes, Kara at age 12 was sent from her dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where she was taken in by the Danvers, a foster family who taught her to be careful with her extraordinary powers. After repressing said skills for more than a decade, Kara is forced to bust out her super moves in public during an unexpected disaster. Energized by her heroism for the first time in her life, she begins embracing her abilities in the name of helping the people of her city, earning herself a super moniker along the way.

The other lead role currently being cast is that of 26-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Danvers, Kara’s gorgeous, brilliant, science-minded foster sister. Growing up, Alex was partly jealous of her sibling yet also fascinated by her abilities, prompting Alex to learn as much as she could about alien anthropology, sociology and culture. Today, Alex works for a secret government organization and, alongside her heroic sis, will face many challenges, both mundane and super.

Yep, sounds terrrrrible. And yet, you'd be so awesome in either of these roles! I'm gonna try out for the role of Gladys Kravitz, the nosy next-door neighbor who occasionally catches Kara doing something super, and runs into her house screaming, "AAAAABNER! AAAAABNER!!" (Abner's her husband.)
