    I peeped this when it first broke on another website

    The comments were absolutely livid

    Some posters were mad because he's black, period

    Others were mad because mechad brooks is a sex symbol while jimmy Olsen is supposed to be nerdy

    Then u got the crowd who don't want to be force fed interracial couplings

    I'll say they're right on two counts. Stop changing the source material just because. I'm black and think it's ridiculous, and I agree with Mechad not fitting who Jimmy is suppose to be. They could have used Donald Glover would have fit him more.

    lmao that would truly be the sign that racism is over because the only time a woman let alone a white one is going to have a true romantic moment with a black dude he better look like superman lol. Actually that was Mechad's nickname when he was the Game lol

    Where are all of these complaints about being "force fed" IR relationships when white male actors are paired with non-white women in every other TV show and movie?

    The trailer that dropped a couple month ago:

    Actual 6.5 minute trailer:

    Looks like there will be a love triangle between Kara/Supergirl, Bedbuck Jimmy Olson, & her suspect-ass friend.

    Speaking of Mehcad Brooks, look at his dating history:

    It's good to be Famous, Rich and a Black Man in the 21st century

    It's good to be Famous, Rich and a Black Man in the 21st century:

    All the white woman you can handle and more, without drugging and with consent.

    Hear that Bill Cosby?

    Supergirl: Jenna Dewan-Tatum to Recur as Lucy Lane, Jimmy Olsen's Ex
    By Rebecca Iannucci / August 3 2015, 5:27 PM PDT

    This fall, Supergirl will be giving some serious side-eye to Jenna Dewan-Tatum; The Witches of East End alumna will recur as Lucy Lane on the CBS drama, TVLine has confirmed.

    As we first reported, Lucy — sister of Lois Lane — is brash, funny and successful in her own right. In keeping with DC Comics lore, she will also be an ex-girlfriend of Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), Kara’s new CatCo media conglom colleague. (Considering Kara’s immediate crush on Jimmy in the series’ pilot episode, Lucy’s presence will not be a welcome one.)

    Lucy Lane is one of several DC Comics characters to have adopted the Superwoman mantle, though there’s no word yet on whether that will play into Dewan-Tatum’s role on the show.

    Dewan-Tatum is the latest in a string of Supergirl castings, including Chris Browning (Sons of Anarchy) as villain Reactron and Peter Facinelli (Nurse Jackie) as iconic DC Comics character Maxwell Lord.

    Supergirl debuts Monday, Oct. 26, at 8:30/7:30c, before moving into its regular Mondays-at-8 time slot.

    TV producers are still trying to reproduce the formula that made Keeping Up With The Kardashians a ratings hit(multiple WW openly into IR and America ate it up.)
