    Nicole Maines, cast as TV's first transgender superhero in Supergirl,
    has acknowledged that she feels a tremendous sense of responsibility in
    taking on the role. "It feels fitting to say with great power comes
    great responsibility," she observed.

    Doesn't a movie adapted from on a comic book published by a corporate rival >> use that line? Can't that get her fired, like smoking a cigarette not
    manufactured by the sponsor?

    The CW's superhero shows have always had strong themes of inclusivity
    and representation.

    Aren't they supposed to be entertaining?

    I'm still watching LEGENDS, which is a lot of fun; I've dropped all the >others, and never did watch ARROW. The Muslim woman on LEGENDS is
    gorgeous, so I'm all for that bit of diversity.

    So they haven't done any lecturing about Islam being a "religion of peace"
    yet?

    have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.
