Calista Flockhart Is Joining Supergirl, Get The Awesome Details — cinemablend.com

THR describes Cat as a former reporter who founded the corporation CatCo, which has become a “global powerhouse.” Last year’s batch of character descriptions labeled her as “J.Lo by way of Anna Wintour,” so that should give an idea of what her personality will be like. When she’s not helping people as Supergirl, Kara will serve as Cat’s assistant in the series.
