Our first look at the new Supergirl

So CBS today gave us our first look at their new fall series, Supergirl, and my first reaction? It looks a heck of a lot like the SNL spoof of a Black Widow standalone movie.

Don't get me wrong, Supergirl is an awesome hero and the premise sounds awesome.

Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped amid its destruction years ago with her famous cousin. Now at the age 24, she finally embraces her superhuman abilities to be the hero she was always meant to be.

It's even got a great cast, led by Glee's Melissa Benoist who will be playing Kara Danvers/Supergirl. Not to mention its got Chyler Leigh (Grey's Anatomy), Calista Flockhart (Ally McBeal), and my personal favorite, Jeremy Jordan (The Last Five Years).

So what's the problem? Well, it looks like a rom-com dressed as a superhero flick. Granted, this is just a first look overview of the series, but man is it filled with some painfully corny moments. And there are some scenes that literally look like they were pulled from the SNL skit.

Now I'm willing to give it a shot, but only because its from the writers that brought us The Flash and Arrow. It can't possibly be this bad, can it?

Supergirl will debut this fall on CBS, airing on Monday's at 8/7c.
