Gotta say that I’m not all that unfamiliar with Ms. Calle’s work as my wife (“Announcer Rachel”) is still a fan of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS soap opera.  She records the episodes and then binge-watches them while running on the treadmill.  I asked her about Ms. Calle and she said that she “loved her” and thought she was “really talented.”  (I cannot confirm or deny that I watched Y&R with my grandmother’s as a kid, while in college, or even today.  I will say that I like Victor Newman a lot.)

While I’m fine with the casting, I do wonder why Supergirl is in this film?  My first thought is that Warner Bros. is eying a Supergirl spinoff movie starring the lovely Ms. Calle.  While I’d bet a million dollars — of Monopoly money, as always — that a Supergirl film is in the pipeline, I hope that’s not the only reason the character is in THE FLASH.  Oh yeah…

That sound noise you hear is fanboys raging that this Supergirl isn’t going to be blonde-haired and blue-eyed. *rolling eyes really hard* – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
