Given who the central character is, Supergirl is always a show that has the cape of the Man of Steel lurking over it, but is the show struggling to find its own identity? After six episodes, Supergirl still cant help but feel like a Superman-lite show. Weve got Maxwell Lord lurking in the background, doing his best Lex Luther impression. Then theres the use of Lucy Lane rather than Lois Lane, not to mention using James (dont call him Jimmy) Olsen as a prominent character in the series. The fact that both heroes wear the exact same colours, similar outfits with the same symbol, are family, have the same powers and similar backstories means that there's always going to be comparisons, but it just feels as if the show is maybe having some problems with stepping out of the shadows of the Big Blue Boy Scout right now.
