    According to Showbizspy, Taylor Swift is supposedly being lined up to play Supergirl. 

     The country music star — who recently celebrated her 20th birthday — is top of a list of young actresses in line to bring back the Girl of Steel for a new generation.    

    Cryptic enough for ya? Although I found this news report at numerous sites throughout the intrawebs, the info all came up the same. "Studios have put Taylor Swift at the top of the list." You see it over and over again. There is a good point coming out of all of these weird gossip magazine-like websites. 

     “Hollywood is short of female heroes and the time is right for a new Supergirl,” dished one movie insider.    

    Thanks for the dish movie insider! It's true though. There really haven't been any strong female roles in super-hero films, other than maybe Watchmen. Supergirl is an incredibly popular DC character and since we already have a few Superman films out there, and one forgettable Supergirl film, there won't be too much confusion to the mass audiences. So a Supergirl film is by no means a bad idea, but does Taylor Swift have what it takes to play the part? According to imdb, Taylor has only had a couple of roles acting wise: an episode of CSI, Saturday Night Live, and her first real roll next year in a film called Valentine's Day. We don't really have too much to base her acting ability on. Only time will tell I guess. 
     
    What do you guys think? Is Taylor right for the part? Is a Supergirl film a good idea?

    I'd like to know where these websites get their info; oh, wait a tick, they make sh!t up, just like most of the Internet.   
     
    Physically, she IS quite the match, esp. to Turner's rendition as other posters are stating, and I agree.  I've no idea if the young lady can act., as I don't watch SNL, nor will I.   I know she's popular as a singer with a lot of people, my young nieces included.   
     
    Whether she's the right choice for the r-o-l-e,  (hint) I've no idea.

    Agreed. Every source that had this article was laughable on the credibility scale, but it does raise interesting questions about women in superhero films.

    I wouldn't mind seeing her in the Supergirl outfit but can she act? I'm not convinced. Yeah she was pretty funny on SNL but that's hardly the best resume to lead an action movie. Plus is this going to be like the original Supergirl movie with no Superman, no Clark Kent, no Lois Lane....where's the fun in that?

    She may look like Supergirl, but can she act? Probably not since she's a singer.

    She looks the part, but I don't know if she can act. *hasn't seen her past performances* 
     
    Just get someone who understands and respects the goddamn mythos, have it be connected to Superman and you'll probably have a pretty sweet movie. Give it to someone who'll turn into another CatWoman and you'll get a big cinematic turd.

    Taylor Swift as Supergirl is an Epic fail waiting to happen.  No acting ability at all and a horrible idea.

    I'd hi-hrgm hhum I'd watch such a thing but I have the same worries everyone else seems to.I know Supergirl isn't the toughest role to play she's just a teenage girl with superpowers but having someone who is already so famous for being herself play Supergirl might hurt the film in the end because I don't wan't Supergirl to be Taylor Swift playing Taylor Swift with super powers.

    Like most have said she definitely looks the part, no question. Can she act? who knows, but the only way to find out is to give it a chance. So I say go for it. Financially it is a sound idea. Not only are you going to draw in the comic crowd because of Supergirl, but her being a popular singer, her fans will pour in to see her as well. Not to mention all the fanboys who just think she is attractive.

    i think she has the look but i would want to see her acting ability first and if i had the final decision i would go with someone else. There has got to be a 5' early 20's year old Blonde haired blue eyed woman out there that can and wants to act the part. (plus the fact that she doesnt really have to be blue eyed or blonde haired thanks to colored contact and hair coloring

    I like Laura who played Kara on Smallville (started watching her on Instant Star) but lets face it Taylor Swift is a bigger name. Plus if they cast Laura as Kara people would think its a Smallville movie....which isn't a bad idea.

    She's playing Supergirl in what though? Are they making a Supergirl movie or is she playing a supporting character in some other film? Here's hoping it's better then the last time they tried a Supergirl movie.

    I think that would be a good idea but should n't they just get Laura Vandervoort who is already familiar with th role becuase she played Kara- El, supergirl , already on smallville.

    She looks the part. 
     
    Having a daughter (my pic) I have become aware of this glaring problem of the lack of good role models for girls.  She liked my Superman stuff so I showed her Supergirl.  She LOVES Supergirl (even did the Halloween thing as her).  I would definitely see a new movie.  I bought her the Helen Slater movie and she ran it in her DVD player non-stop for weeks.  I still remember the look on her face (awe struck, happily mesmerized) the first time she saw Supergirl pop up out of the water and fly around. 
     
    I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that a Supergirl movie, done right, would be a great father/daughter event.
