“This is based on Tom King (and Bilquis Evely) ‘s wonderful comic. Tom has been one of the architects of this entire situation. He’s been one of the guys in the room with us, along with four or five other writers. I love his take on these characters. He just turns them slightly to be something very unique. We have Tom King. He has been my partner throughout all of this. He was giving me answers to sh*t before I took the job.”
Well, this is one of the several instances where the DC co-CEO spoke highly about King’s creativity and writing.James Gunnhas also publicly appreciated Tom King’s Supergirl storyline.
“In our story, we have Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by incredibly loving parents. Kara was on Krypton. She was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet, and she lived there for the first fourteen years of her life in a horrible situation where she watched everyone around her die. So, she’s a much harsher and more f*cked up Supergirl than you’ve been used to thus far.”

Seems fairly fitting that after DC movies/TV has a bit of a… crisis… they enter… rebirth…
