Jane Levy.

Levy for those who don't know is the star from Suburgatory a couple of years ago, and The Evil Dead Remake. Shes a very good Comic Actress-shes good at looking pained as the world turns agianst her-but also in the Evil Dead-i would say she was probably in the top 5 action heroines in the last 10 years. I may put her actually on the top depending on the day of the week.
I would think the rap agianst her-she is not necessairly model thin most days-but if you told me she spends six months in the gym if she looks impressive i would belive her. Its generally easier to turn from Fat to Muscular then Skinny(and there is no world actually where she fats). And she has reddish brown hair...like Linda. And as i think i have said i supsect your going to see maybe 5 minutes of Supergirl per episode thats fair.
I have said this before on other posts- Cast for the Secret identiy. And i think she could do that great but in the evil dead there is a momment where she turns from a screaming victim to a chick with a chainsaw for a hand-and that momment is wonderful. If they can get that momment in a series then they have something.

But the image reminded me how much I would have liked to have seen Piper in the SG role, harking back to her role as Jersey in Coyote Ugly. That kind of innocence and naivety and inexperience combined with a huge amount of natural talent. Even the relationship with her father from Coyote Ugly could work for an emerging Linda/Kara who is unsure of herself at first with an overprotective foster parent.
Piper is 37 now, so she's out of range for the role, but Jersey's persona and someone who looked like this picture would win me over.

I could see this being Linda... very tall and blonde. Also a bit enigmatic. There's something about her that her friends can't quite put their finger on. She seems vaguely foreign in a European way.

And as far as costume goes, I really like this rendition. Short, tight skirt, split-top boots and "s" shield are all iconic. Blue leotard that makes the short skirt acceptable in public. Body slender but lean.
Anyway, my vision for the day.

If there going to aim for next fall, and do any kind of special effects i expect them to be shooting no latter then January or something, and certainly theycan't hide the casting and likely the costume by then. I suspect by thanksgiving this is going to be locked down(if its not already).....So.....

If your going to go for unkowns, Shes a young actress who has done some web stuff(shes the star of the webseries Carmilla). Thinking of the casting video the other day, she struck me as someone who could do the Comedish stuff a touch more funny without going broad, and play the dramatic stuff with some real pathos. Shes good at looking as if the world makes her slightly in pain, which would help with the irony if she was invulnerable
Never seen her do action but she has a compactness to her that could work in the stuff, and is good at playing the kind of brave thats important..
And shes Canadian. If there going with an unknown, its almost certainly going to a Canadian Unknown.

Here is a recent talk show interview of her. She seemingly has a great personality and love the accent, although I'm sure she'd conceal it for the show if cast.:

Also watched Vampire diaries a couple of times before i realized it felt a little generic for my tastes(and the lead i thought was pretty bad), But she did a good job of making an impression as someone your supose to hate--but well not actually. She was good at finding the humanity in a character who was kind of a sterotype-like well Supergirl.
Vampire Diaries is one of those shows actually i have heard as gotten a lot weirder and better as it went along-and i am glad she found some sucess with it.
That said, i don't think shes going to be the only casting announced before it goes through. And if thats the case curious who else gets up. Shes not a canadian unkown, but not the most well known actress ether-but well a million twitter followers. Who knows.

Warner Brothers or CBS has neither confirmed nor denied this. If she got the role, this would be have been a definitive Yes. if not probabbly we would have got a no. I suspect this is like Jessica Jones a couple of weeks ago-they have a short list of names there looking at-but for probabbly a number of reasons don't want to name(notice that when a list of four kind of big names came out Marvel was quick to announce they where also considering two smaller names, probabbly to keep agents from to excited-still went with a kinda big name). There is no real advantage to name this list.
As for Ms.Holt. I am not sure how the name got out-could have been her agent, could have been random. The reason i think this is a reason, is the reason we are getting a supergirl show next year is becuse the fact they where looking at a script got leaked, and made a big splash on social media-yahoo, twitter, facebook etc. Holts Announcment hasn't really done that. We have some fan art-no one seems to hate it-but not big. I suspect someone released the name to guage what people thought of it-and the kind of "Well that's okay/Pretty good" maybe not quite as high as they hoped.
I still think shes possible but will see.
I do think if there going to shoot something probably in February, its probably going to announced by the end of the year.

What do you mean it's not a realistic choice?!
She's blonde, she's young, she's kind of in shape...
Bet she can act too!
