Can’t wait for this one. Totally scary. From Robert and Michele King of #TheGoodFight and starring Mike Colter (#Marvels #LukeCage).

James Corden entertains at the #CBS #Upfront. He’ll soon host the #TheTonyAwards. “If you love award shows and hate big ratings the Tonys are for you!” he says.

CBS released the trailer for Supergirl, its upcoming DC Comics adaptation, today. The series will star Melissa Benoist as the titular heroine, who will abolish misogyny and bring down the patriarchy ...  or so we hope. Here are seven real-world problems we wish she could actually solve with her superpowers.

1. The gender pay gap

Women make only 77 percent of what men make in the workplace. This means that they must work approximately three months extra to catch up with men. The gap is even bigger for African-American and Latina women, who make 64 cents and 56 cents, respectively, for every dollar earned by a Caucasian man. Could Supergirl fly into the pockets of men and pull out the extra money they get and put them back in the pockets of women? #superherogoals

2. The glass ceiling

Women make up 50 percent of the U.S. population, hold 52 percent of professional-level jobs, and yet they only have 14 percent of executive positions. We've never had a woman president. Maybe she could do something about that?

3. Media Representation

As reported by the Los Angeles Times, a University of Southern California study found that "1.9% of the directors of 2013's top-grossing films were women — a six-year low — and just a quarter of all the speaking roles in animated films belonged to girls or women." Can you imagine texting Supergirl those statistics? She would literally just text you back, "I'M SCREAMING" and fly off to Hollywood to talk to all the execs, I'm sure.
