CBS' 'Supergirl Leak: Melissa Benoist, Calista Flockhart, Mehcad Brooks' Pilot Gets Rave Reviews!

Way before the official November premiere, CBS has discovered the pilot of their upcoming DC Comics superhero drama, Supergirl, has been leaked online. The hype machine is already gaining steam as Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) and Jimmy Olson (Mehcad Brooks) have earned rave reviews.

As we previously mentioned, the CBS superhero drama will follow the comic book adventures of Kara Zor-El (Benoist). Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped before its destruction. While living on Earth, Kara has been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at the tender age of 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always meant to be.

According to Variety, high-quality copies of the pilot for CBS superhero drama have been leaked onto file-sharing pirate sites. The episode is available at an 1080p HD format and does not contain any evident watermarks. Statistics and estimates have shown that the pilot has been downloaded more than 120,000 times worldwide

The critic at i09 has seen the leaked pilot and states, "Furthermore, Melissa Benoist is almost superhumanly charming as Kara Zor-El. She's the perfect mix of confident and self-doubting, fearless and concerned, strong and vulnerable, and above all, completely likable. When she first uses her powers to save a crashing plane (as seen in the preview), she's equally delighted with the rush of helping people and seeing herself on TV, to the point that she giggles. This is not the giggle of an empty-headed young girl - it's a genuine, natural expression of joy."

MStars News will not tell readers where to find the leaked pilot, but this critic already knew Supergirl was doing to do very well on its own, just by watching the trailer.

Check out our 5 thoughts on the Supergirl trailer here:

As we previously mentioned, Benoist joins Grant Gustin (The Flash) as their costumed counterparts alongside their executive producer as they share the cover on the latest issue of Variety magazine. Maybe this will be the only time fans will see The Flash/Supergirl crossover.

Supergirl will premiere in November on Mondays at 8pm.
