8. More Nods To History?
Dotted throughout Pilot were many a nod to the past of Supergirl and even Superman. From the traditional Kryptonian clothing shown early on, to the humorous costume problems Kara has, to Winn Schotts collections of toys on his desk, to the mention of the Super Friends, to dropping the names of comic book writers and artists (including Supergirl creator, Otto Binder), there was plenty to bring a smile to long-standing comic book nerds here. Whether this was merely a one-off and a way to get some approval from long-time fans remains to be seen, but heres hoping theres plenty of similar nuggets and teases dropped in the show on a regular basis.
