Réveillez vous, cette semaine on parle d'une justicière qui a des rêves plein la tête : Nia Nal alias Dreamer de Supergirl et DC Comics. Une vraie lueur d'espoir, Nia a toujours rêvé d'être reporter et a toujours rêvé de justice. Ce qu'elle avait pas prévu par contre c'était d'hériter de narcolepsie et des pouvoirs familiaux de rêves prémonitoires dont elle a jamais voulu. On revient sur son histoire, sur comment elle est devenue une super-héroïne et comment elle est toujours en train d'apprendre à en être une. Sur sa confiance en qui elle est versus sa confiance en ses capacités. Sur son statut de première super-héroïne trans dans son histoire et dans notre monde à nous. Et on se pose aussi des questions sur est-ce que le déjà vu c'est un rêve prémonitoire ? Est-ce qu'on a déjà vu le futur ? Et comment c'est possible qu'on ait fait le même rêve pendant des années sans le savoir ? Merci à Jayhan (@JayhanOfficial) pour les super intro et outro ! Tu peux nous suivre sur tous les réseaux : @codexespod et aussi nous laisser une note et un commentaire sympa si tu veux. Force et amour.

Nia Nal has been searching for an ancient source of Naltorian dream energy. She loses her powers to a hooded robed figure while in a nightmare involving Iris and goes to Central City for help. Iris realizes that her article on the Red Death is the Pulitzer-winning article from the map book, and questions if she's following destiny instead of making her own choices. After Nia and Iris get pulled into a dream, Nia helps Iris realize that destiny is not one choice, but the result of a lifetime of several choices. Iris helps Nia realize that to increase her potential, she needs to give up control. After doing so, Nia meets the spirit of the first Naltorian with dream abilities, who promises to teach her. They wake, and Iris publishes her article. Meanwhile, Mark takes Khione out to do activities that he did with Frost, ignoring all of Khione's ideas. She realizes that Mark still only sees her as Frost and leaves. Later, Mark apologizes to Khione and decides to leave Central City, causing Khione to inadvertently freeze Cecile's banquet out of sadness…BUT THEN...Barry, Iris, and a group of D.O.E. agents inspecting S.T.A.R. Labs get trapped in the speed lab. When Barry notes that a "time magnet" will be stored in the Flash Museum in 2123, the group deduces that one of them must have stolen the magnet from the future without its stabilizer, trapping them in the same moment. As one of the agents is replaced by a statue, the group realizes that exposure to the time magnet will eventually kill them. Barry and Iris realize that Inspector Tao knows nothing about her job and expose her as the thief. She reveals herself as Lady Chronos. Barry charges her belt so she can reunite the magnet with its stabilizer in 2123 and convinces her to let herself be arrested instead of dying. The timeline resets, freeing Barry and Iris and restoring the agents with no memories of the events. Meanwhile, Khione meets with Carla Tannhauser off-screen. After Chester tells Allegra that he loves her, she worries about her future with him. Cecile convinces her that their relationship is not doomed and she later admits her love to Chester.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Tim is on parental leave! Frank is joined by friend of the show Brent to recap one of Supergirl's most poignant episodes ever. Kelly is horrified when the Ormfell building implodes, injuring many in the community, including Joey . However, her horror quickly turns to frustration when she realizes that the hospital is overwhelmed, people are getting sicker, and no one is coming to help – including Supergirl who is busy fighting Nyxly. Knowing that she can make a difference, Kelly embraces her power and fully steps into her role as Guardian.

Meanwhile, Lena visits her mother's birthplace in Newfoundland, eager to dig into her past but is shocked by the small town's icy reception towards her.

Tim and Frank break down Supergirl advocating for the formerly incarcerated, the return of Nia's mom, and Nyxly's big gamble. NIA SPENDS TIME WITH HER MOM – Supergirl intervenes when a building in the Heights that was set aside for low income housing is suddenly at risk to be sold to a major corporation. Supergirl recruits Orlando to help her win over the city, but things go awry when Nyxly shows up. Meanwhile, Nia trains with her mother.

SUPERGIRL AND KELLY TEAM UP – Kelly meets Joey, a young orphaned alien boy, who is acting out in foster care because he fears there is something wrong with his brother Orlando, who is incarcerated. Kelly asks Kara to help her investigate and they stumble upon abuse at the prison. Meanwhile, Nyxly crashes one of Nia's (Nicole Maines) dreams and asks her for help.

Frank and Tim return to discuss Kara's return, Andrea Rojas's tactics, and a sorry excuse for a Roomba. SUPER FRIENDS REUNITED! – As Supergirl and Zor-El make their return to National City, they are determined to keep the Phantom Zone behind them and enjoy being superheroes together. Unfortunately, their overzealous efforts backfire, creating a whole new threat to National City.

Nia Nal was born and raised in Parthas. On Parthas humans and aliens live together in peace. She had a happy childhood and loved her hometown but always envisioned herself doing more. She attended college in Washington DC where she wrote speeches for Cat Grant.  Nia was going to change people's minds with her words. Ms. Grant sent her to Catco to be mentored by Kara. Nia came to National City at a turbulent time. The Children of Liberty were trying to get aliens out of their town.  She is no stranger to the difficulties of being different. She was assigned male at birth but knew with her whole heart and soul that she was meant to be a girl. The universe thought so too. She was bestowed the power to see the future through her dreams.  A gift given only to one daughter per generation on Naltor, the planet her mother is from. Nia tragically loses her mother to a spider bite after failing to read the warning signs in her dreams. She has a lot of frustration around losing her mother before learning to harness the full potential of her powers. She is still in the beginning of learning all the abilities bestowed on a Dreamer. Hopefully soon we will see her reach out to her sister. Maeve studied her whole life to become the next Dreamer. Perhaps teaching Nia will help repair the rift in their relationship. This is such a super journey we are on with Nia Nal. Every few episodes we can watch her powers grow and evolve as she becomes more skilled. I have loved watching Kara mentor her and Brainy calm her doubts.  When Supergirl leaves us at the end of the season, I hope Dreamer can continue on another show in our universe.  I don't want her story to end after only 2 years of making this world a better, more tolerant place. She is a great Superhero and an asset to any team.  Making the world better with both words and deeds.  She is the transgendered Superhero this community has been dreaming of.

Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Nicole Maines(@nicoleamaines), actress and transgender rights activist known for playing the first transgender superhero, Nia Nal, on SuperGirl. We chat about where Nicole would be if she was still in welding class, how happy she is to be doing what she loves and the positive fan reaction to her portrayal of Nia Nal. We also discuss more diverse and nuanced representation where LGBTQ characters can be both Gayngels and Demons. From Nicole playing a vampire in Bit to a superhero, she's played both sides of the spectrum and wants to see other characters that explore the gray area in between "good and evil" where people are just people.

The actor will portray Central City's newest menace, the DC supervillain Cicada. Introduced in 2001 by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins in The Flash #170, the Cicada of the comics is David Hersch who was filled with regret after murdering his wife when he was struck by lightning. As a result, he gained the ability to absorb the life-force of others, allowing him to dramatically extend his life. Believing he was somehow linked to The Flash by the similar accidents in which they gained their powers, Hersch founded a cult whose members were dedicated to murdering everyone the Scarlet Speedster ever saved, using lightning bolt-shaped daggers. As the result of a vision, Hersch believed that the energy from all the people The Flash saved, and from the hero himself, would allow him to resurrect his dead wife. https://www.cbr.com/flash-season-5-chris-klein-cicada/ Supergirl Adds Fan-Favorite Legionnaire as TV's First Transgender Superhero (Date: 21 July 2018) The CW's Supergirl has cast transgender activist Nicole Maines as television's first trans superhero, in a role that appears to introduce another member of DC's Legion of Super-Heroes to the drama.

David Ajala (Doctor Who, The Dark Knight) has been cast in a recurring role as “the type of guy who brings a knife to a gunfight and still walks away the winner. With a dark past, he easily deflects the brutality of his mission with his charm and sense of humor.” https://www.cbr.com/supergirl-season-4-manchester-black/ ‘Supergirl': Lynda Carter to Return as President Marsdin in Season 4 (Date: 22 July 2018) Lynda Carter will be returning to The CW series reprising the role of President Olivia Marsdin who was last seen in the season two episode "Resist". http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/08/01/exclusive-dc-preview-plastic-man-3/ Supergirl Casts Star Trek: The Next Generation's Brent Spiner (Date: 01 Aug 2018) Brent Spiner, beloved for his roles on Star Trek: The Next Generation and in Independence Day, has joined the upcoming fourth season of The CW's Supergirl in a recurring role.

Rohna Mitra has been cast in the recurring role of Mercy Graves. On Supergirl, Mercy will be “stepping out of the Luthor shadow and running her own show,” according to the character description. “With her biting wit and lethal brawn, Mercy steadily becomes a key figure in National City's growing ‘human-first' movement.” https://www.cbr.com/supergirl-season-4-mercy-graves-otis/ Kevin Smith to Direct 'Supergirl' Season 4 Episode (Date: 29 July 2018) Kevin Smith revealed that he's returning to direct a new episode for the Girl of Steel's fourth season, in a year where Kara Danvers will go up against anti-metahuman sentiments, new villains, and a former ally of Lex Luthor. http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/07/29/supergirl-kevin-smith-directing-season-4/ CONSTANTINE: CITY OF DEMONS Animated Feature Trailer, Release Date And Blu-Ray Cover Art Revealed (Date: 31 July 2018) Produced by Warner Bros.
