Now at age 24, living in National City and working as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart), Kara (Melissa Benoist) has spent so many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All that changes when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always destined to be. With the help of Daily Planet photographer James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), her foster sister Alex (Chyler Leigh), and the research of the super-secret, off-the-grid Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO) and its head, Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), who are tasked with keeping the Earth safe from aliens, Kara takes to the skies to protect her world.

Join the discussion as the science “fiction” of PERSON OF INTEREST stays one step ahead of real-world events. John Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) have saved countless lives thanks to the omniscience of their supercomputer and their crack team of brave misfits – NYPD detective Lionel Fusco (Kevin Chapman), the unpredictable cyber-hacker Root (Amy Acker) and missing-in-action operative Sameen Shaw (Sarah Shahi). But a new threat puts their mission in jeopardy and their lives in even more danger. Samaritan, the rival AI, has initiated its lethal “correction.” Finch’s Machine is essentially dead. Shaw is still missing. And the team is once again hiding in plain sight. But with Samaritan’s invisible grip tightening everywhere, will Finch be able to rebuild and resurrect The Machine? And if he does, will it be the same Machine when it comes back online? Find out highly confidential intel when executive producers Jonathan Nolan, Greg Plageman and Denise Thé join series stars Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, Kevin Chapman and Amy Acker to undergo a Comic-Con interrogation with a special video presentation and Q&A. The panel discussion will be moderated by IGN TV writer Matt Fowler.
From Bonanza Productions Inc., in association with Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros. Television, PERSON OF INTEREST will return for its fifth season in 2015-2016. (Person of Interest: The Complete Fourth Season will be released on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD on August 11.)
**A PERSON OF INTEREST signing will take place on Saturday at the Warner Bros. booth (#4545). Signing time to be announced.

SUPERGIRL (Warner Bros. Television Presents a Night of DC Entertainment)
8:00-11:00 PM (Hall H) #WBSDCC
Pilot Screening & Panel – This exclusive evening will feature several superhero-themed series, including a pilot screening of CBS’s highly anticipated new action series SUPERGIRL, followed by a Q&A with stars and producers to be announced. In the vast DC Comics Universe of superheroes, the rich mythology of Superman and the planet Krypton is perhaps the most famous and instantly recognizable. Enter Supergirl! Born on the doomed planet Krypton, the preteen Kara escaped at the same time as the infant Kal-El, but didn't arrive on Earth until many years later after being lost in the Phantom Zone. Now at age 24, living in National City and working as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart), Kara (Melissa Benoist) has spent so many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All that changes when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always destined to be. With the help of Daily Planet photographer James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), her foster sister Alex (Chyler Leigh), and the research of the super-secret, off-the-grid Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO) and its head, Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), who are tasked with keeping the Earth safe from aliens, Kara takes to the skies to protect her world.
From Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, and based on the characters from DC Comics, SUPERGIRL premieres Monday, Oct. 26.
**A SUPERGIRL signing will take place on Saturday at the Warner Bros. booth (#4545). Signing time to be announced.
