DC Comic fans may get to see another one of their favorite superheroes make it to TV as Greg Berlanti looks to bring an "Arrow" and "The Flash" style show to life featuring Supermans' sidekick.

"On the heels of the success of Arrow and the strong buzz for its upcoming offshoot 'The Flash' -- both co-created and executive produced by Greg Berlanti -- the top producer is looking to transition another popular DC superhero character to the small screen," says Nellie Andreeva, of Deadline.com. "I've learned that Berlanti has teamed with Ali Adler, who worked on his ABC series No Ordinary Family, for a TV series based on Supergirl.

Warner Bros. TV, which is behind all DC TV series, will produce with Berlanti's studio-based Berlanti Prods."

"Arrow" is getting ready to head into it's third season while "Flash" will see its debut during the CW's stacked Fall premieres week.

Next month will be the true test of the success of comic book adaptations making a return to TV.

Kara Zor-El, is the cousin of Superman who shares his super powers and vulnerability to Kryptonite. Her character has been featured in "Smallville," which was the CW's version of Superman's origins.

"Smallville" starred Tom Welling as Clark Kent and Kristin Kruek as Lana Lang. "Arrow" is scheduled to premiere on October 8 after "The Flash" sees its series premiere on October 7.

"The Supergirl show doesn't have a name yet.

I hear the producers are considering several options that need to be cleared, including Super and Girl," says Andreeva.

"The project is expected to be taken out in a couple of weeks and pitched to the major networks the way WBTV and DC did with their high profile Batman prequel Gotham, which landed at Fox with a big commitment."
