10 Huge Spoilers From The Leaked Supergirl Pilot

2. Melissa Benoist Is The Perfect Supergirl

Less of a spoiler and more of a stone cold fact, you'll have no doubt after watching the pilot that Melissa Benoist is the perfect choice for Supergirl. The trailer really didn't do her justice, and whether it's as Kara or Supergirl, she perfectly embodies this iconic DC character. As is so often the case when any actress is cast as a superhero who has frequently been made to look like a pornstar by comic book artists, the Glee alum came under fire for being too "plain" and "flat chested" to play Supergirl in the series, but she looks perfect here too. Like Grant Gustin and The Flash, expect fans to end up embracing this casting decision in a big way, and no doubt arguing that whoever one day ends up playing Supergirl on the big screen having no chance of coming anywhere close to Melissa Benoist's fantastic version.
