Supergirl Season 2 Joins the Many Comic TV Shows Coming to DVD in August
I’m a handful of episodes behind, but I’m planning on getting caught up before then, I hope! Supergirl is a lovely beacon of hope on the TV screen, even if I disagree with some of the plot directions (Mon-El, boo!) this season.
Having left the safety of being Cat Grant’s assistant at Catco Worldwide Media in order to figure out what she really wants to do, Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) continues to work with Hank Henshaw aka Martian Manhunter (David Harewood) and her adoptive sister Alex (Chyler Leigh) at the DEO as Supergirl — protecting the citizens of National City and searching for her missing father Jeremiah (Dean Cain) and the secret research lab Cadmus. Along the way, she will team up with her Kryptonian cousin Kal-El — aka Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) — to battle new DC Super-Villains both terrestrial and extraterrestrial, as she strives to balance her personal life with friends/allies James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan), and more with her busy life as a new superhero.
Supergirl: The Complete Second Season will be available on DVD (list price $49.99) and Blu-ray (list price $54.97, with digital copy) on August 22. The set will include the following special features:
- Supergirl Lives audio commentary featuring Andrew Kreisberg and Kevin Smith
- The 2016 Comic-Con panel
- Featurettes “Supergirl: Alien Fight Night” and “Aliens Among Us”
- A conversation with Andrew Kreisberg and Kevin Smith
- Did You Know facts for fans
Here are the 22 episode titles:

It’s kind of strange that, with the CW’s new deal with Netflix, the CW shows are now on Netflix months before they get released on home video.

The only good thing I’ll say about Mon-el is that his existence suggests that the Legion of Superheroes might eventually become a thing on the show. And if I can get the Legion even as occasional guest stars on Supergirl (or possibly even better, Legends of Tomorrow) then I’ll take it.

I liked Mon-El, or at least the actor. He was a very charismatic villain on The Vampire Diaries before. I did wonder why no one said “why do you have same family name as me & my cousin?” As I hope -El isn’t like Smith. Lol.
Read reports that we will see the Legion ring payoff early next season. I am curious to see how they handle Maggie, given that the actress has decided she doesn’t want to be a regular.

Oooh, Jer, you have given me optimism! Particularly if they send Mon-El off to the future so Kara can get back with James Olsen. And thanks for the updates, James.
