CBS' 'Supergirl' PHOTOS: Twitter Reacts To Melissa Benoist Cosplay As DC Comics' Linda Danvers! [WATCH]

CBS has released the first set of photos to their upcoming DC Comics TV show, Supergirl. Twitter had lots to say about the cosplay outfit of Melissa Benoist as she dressed the part of Linda Danvers in the new superhero drama, wearing the traditional blue costume and red cape.

As we previously mentioned, the CBS superhero drama will follow the comic book adventures of Kara Zor-El (Benoist). In the mythology, Kara Zor-El escaped from the planet Krypton before its destruction years ago, but became lost in space. Crash-landing onto Earth, Kara tries to control her superpowers as she maintains her secret identity as Clark Kent's relative.

From what we mentioned before, Jimmy Olsen (Mechad Brooks) is a photographer at CatCo.,where Kara works. Jimmy has recently been living and working in National City, though the reason why is still a secret. What will be kept from the comics is Jimmy's romantic relationship with Supergirl. In the pilot, Jimmy and Supergirl end up working together to take down the Wonder Woman baddie, Lumberjack, who's under orders from the main big bad.

Benoist tweets on her official Twitter account, "THIS. I still can't believe I am wearing the House of El coat of arms. #supergirl #wbdctv "

According to the official DC Comics site, the costume was designed by three-time Academy awrd winner Colleen Atwood, who also worked on the outifts for The Flash and Arrow.

Atwood describes her work, "In designing Supergirl, I wanted to embrace the past, but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today."

Check out what Twitter had to say:

@Charlotte_Stein tweets, "Just so excited about young girls getting to see this Supergirl. Someone they can relate to. Someone who looks like a hero first."

 @batcaving writes, "ooh looks like the supergirl show is going with the classic supergirl costume. better than the n52 one but i still wish she could have pants"

@mr_sjpatterson adds, "I'm really looking forward to seeing Supergirl now. Melissa Benoist looks great! I didn't like the ND 2.0 in Glee but she'll be great here!"

@nerdymike25 mentions, "I mean, just look at her. She seems so bright and a face full of hope and dreams. She looks to me like Supergirl."

@dakotajohnsns will certainly be watching, "Melissa Benoist, Chyler Leigh & Laura Benanti? oops, looks like i'm gonna have to watch supergirl when it starts airing."

As we perviously mentioned, Calista Flockhart, Faran Tahir, Dean Cain, and Helen Slater also join the cast with the series regulars.

No word yet on when Supergirl will premiere on CBS.

Readers, what do you think of the costume?
