Comic-Con 2018: Supergirl Season 4 Trailer Reveals New Suit

Fans of The CW’s DC output have come to expect new seasons of their favorite shows to arrive each fall, and this year will be no different. Supergirl is one of the series that returns in October, alongside The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Arrow. The first trailer for Supergirl Season 4 has been revealed at San Diego Comic-Con.

The trailer is extremely dramatic and centres around a voiceover from the evil Agent Liberty (Sam Witwer). He talks about waves of destruction and orders mankind to stand up against “the invaders”–presumably superheroes like Supergirl. There’s also loads of impressively staged city-wide destruction and the debut of a seriously cool-looking new Supergirl suit. Check it out above.

Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as Kara/Supergirl, plus Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott, and Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor. Season 4 premieres on The CW on October 14.

In related news, it was reported last week that The CW has greenlit the pilot of a Batwoman show. The Vampire Diaries showrunner Caroline Dries is set to write and executively produce. The character will debut during the network’s annual crossover event in December, which will incorporate all the shows in the so-called Arrow-verse.

DC fans also have plenty to look forward to when the streaming service DC Universe launches in the fall. The service will present a variety of new live-action and animated shows, plus classic DC movies and series, and comic books. The first trailers for two of the new shows–the live-action Titans and the animated Young Justice: Outsiders–were also revealed at this year’s SDCC.

San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Coverage

Comic-Con’s Craziest Panel Was a Drunk Rick and Morty Radio Show

By 10pm on Saturday night, every major Comic-Con announcement had pretty much happened. But while people were obsessing over new Aquaman and Shazam trailers, I was sitting on the grass behind the San Diego Convention Center watching Rick and Morty co-creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon host a fake interstellar radio show fueled by equal parts insanity, improv, and alcohol.

The “Floop and Noop and Bloops Show” — also called the “Scroopy Noop Doop Show,” “Snoopy Gloopo Asks the Scoops,” or whatever other combination of sounds Roiland decided to make each time he said it — was ostensibly a two-hour long preview of the Rick and Morty soundtrack album with commentary from the show’s creators, but it went wildly off the rails from that pitch in the best possible way.

Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms Ending Explained and Other Details From the Director

This is a spoiler-filled feature for Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms.

Though the ending to Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms was rather straightforward — Maquia accepts loss as a part of life, and though sad, celebrates the time spent with Ariel — the very final shot after the credits leaves room for speculation. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms’ director and writer, Mari Okada, at Anime Expo to get some of my biggest questions cleared up and learned some other interesting information about the film and Okada too.

After the credits roll, an image of Maquia, Leilia standing next to the Renato, and a number of other people near the Iolph people’s original home is shown. A woman with red hair stands out most. According to Okada, these other people are all descendants of the Iolph.

Get Up Close and Personal with Star Trek’s Mirror Universe Props and Costumes

When Star Trek: Discovery went to the “evil” Mirror Universe in its first season, it was a blast from the past — a concept first created for The Original Series when Spock got a goatee! And while this year’s Disco panel at San Diego Comic-Con was very much about looking forward to Season 2, including Captain Pike’s arrival on the USS Enterprise and a mystery surrounding Michael Burnham’s brother Spock, CBS All Access also had a great exhibit on site featuring many of the costumes, props and concept art that brought the Mirror Universe to life in Season 1.

We Saw 13 Minutes of Mayans MC Footage at Comic-Con 2018

At the Mayans MC panel, FX showed the first 13 minutes of the Sons of Anarchy spinoff series set to premiere on September 4.

In the footage, we were introduced to leading man Ezekiel ‘EZ’ Reyes, portrayed by JD Pardo (Human Target). Reyes is a prospect, aspiring to become a full-fledged member of the Southern California chapter of the Mayans Motorcycle Club.

Check out our interview with the creators of Mayans MC from Comic-Con 2018 below.

There’s a short flashback, featuring a teenage Reyes wearing a Stanford University sweatshirt and lovingly embracing his high school sweetheart. He’s a good kid, but something went wrong since he was just released from prison in the present day storyline. How all of this came to be is something we’ll have to wait and see when the series premieres.

Riverdale Season 3 Trailer Hints at Trouble for Betty and Jughead

After Riverdale’s Season 2 finale saw Archie being framed for a murder he didn’t commit, “Season 3 starts off with Archie on trial,” according to star KJ Apa, who was on hand with the rest of the cast and producers to give fans a sneak peek of the new season at Comic-Con on Sunday. “I guess we’ll see if he’s gonna go away or not.”

The Comic-Con panel kicked off with a Season 2 recap trailer and a sneak peek at Season 3, which you can watch below:

The biggest news from the panel came with the reveal that we’ll finally meet Jughead’s mother, Gladys, and sister, Jellybean, around episode 8 or 9 of Season 3, and that we can expect a flashback episode featuring the parents of Riverdale back when they were in high school. Instead of casting new actors for the roles of young Fred, Alice, F.P. and the rest of the gang, apparently the kids will be playing the younger versions of their parents for the episode.

Supernatural Gets Ominous Season 14 Sneak Peek at Comic-Con

Supernatural fans got a first look at Season 14 during the show’s Comic-Con panel on Sunday. While the footage from the Season 14 premiere won’t be available to watch online, the sneak peek followed on from the Season 13 finale’s cliffhanger, which saw the archangel Michael betraying his deal and keeping control of Dean (as well as giving him a suave, Peaky Blinders-esque makeover) following Lucifer’s defeat.

The scene from the first episode opens with a Muslim man engaging in morning prayer, before Michael appears in his room, telling him not to be afraid. The man asks if Michael is God, and he says “close.” After a somewhat hilarious guessing-game, he reveals that he’s Michael. The man asks why Michael is there, and Michael responds, “That is the question isn’t it? Why are we here?” He says he’s there to ask the man a question – the same question he’s been asking people across the world for weeks, from holy men to killers. “What do you want? If you could have anything, name it.”
