I don't see the issue...they shared the last name in the comics for decades why would it matter for it to be the same for a TV show and a movie?

Looking forward to this. Need more female superheroes on tv and film. There's like literally only one right now, and they'll never give Black Widow her own show.

You didn't get the memo. D.C. should accommodate 40 plus years of comic history just to please marvel even though that show was scheduled to be release before Marvel announced their Captain Marvel movie

Yall really ready to go to war over the slightest little thing. All I said was the name was similar, shyt 
I just was pointing out that Supergirl had the name first and don't see why anyone would think that it should be changed.Yall really ready to go to war over the slightest little thing. All I said was the name was similar, shyt
Kara Danvers was never her name in the books. It just sounds too similar that I doubt it will stick especially when they have similar powers
They probably thought it would be stupid to have her using the two different names (Linda/Kara) so they just dropped the Linda and kept the last name.
I don't see it getting changed to be honest because there is no need.
CBS' Supergirl Casting Jimmy Olsen, Cat Grant and Others
By Matt Webb Mitovich / October 31 2014, 8:54 AM PDT
On the heels of sharing details about the casting for Supergirl‘s titular heroine and her foster sister, TVLine now has the scoop on four other series-regular roles to be filled on the drama, which already has a series commitment from CBS.
CAT GRANT | The project is eyeing females in their 40s, open ethnicity, to play the founder of CatCo, a media conglomerate that Cat built from the ground up. Kara (Supergirl’s mild-mannered alter ego) will work as a personal assistant to Cat, who is described as “J.Lo by way of Anna Wintour.”
JAMES OLSEN | In his late 20s/early 30s, open ethnicity, James is a smart, worldly and (duh) attractive photographer for CatCo. Though an alpha male, his salt-of-the-earth nature elicits a huge ol’ crush from Kara.
WINSLOW ‘WYNN’ SCHOTT | This twentysomething tech whiz/Comic-Con stalwart toils for CatCo as a programmer, unaware of his own (toying?) potential. Unware of her secret, he carries a torch for Kara, whom he lives next door to.
HANK HENSHAW | As an upstart CIA agent, Hank grew obsessed with intergalactic intel. Now in his 40s and lording over the DEO (Department of Extra-Normal Operations), he is on high alert when Supergirl reveals herself, worried that her otherworldly abilities pose a threat to humankind.
The Supergirl pilot was penned by Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family) and Greg Berlanti (Arrow), both of whom will exec-produce alongside Sarah Schechter (of Berlanti Productions) and Warner Bros. TV.
Look, up in the sky — it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… your cue to dream-cast!
