Supergirl Hero or Sex Appeal

Supergirl Hero or Sex Appeal 

With the mass success of all the Comicbook movies and Television shows CBS decided to jump into the game with a new comic book adaptation "Supergirl". The best part of this show is its from the creative force which brought you "The Flash" and "Arrow" on the CW, with the success of their two shows I have faith they will put together another great show. Will CBS allow it to have the success it deserves, well that is another question all together. 

With the fear of a slow start on a major network and the knowledge that CBS has a quick hook with troubled shows we have to ask, was Supergirl the correct comic book to pull from? It seems over the years "Supergirl" has become over sexualized, and as a example a popular Costume for cosplay. So is Supergirl a real comic book, does it really give empowerment to women and girls or is it made for for  young boys and men to enjoy the art work? Everything from the costume to how the characters have been drawn, it seems the content is more about Sex and less about the hero and her adventures. Even when i googled Supergirl in order to find a picture for the article, obviously I wanted to something to portray the point I was trying to make, I saw what many people really thought of the character Kara Zor-El. 

I know I am excited for the show and I love the concept, I just hope that we have advanced in Society far enough to realized that we don't necessarily need sex appeal to enjoy.
