Guardian Hooks A Crook In New Supergirl Clip

Last week, James Olsen got his own superhero costume, a souped-up motorcycle, and even helped Supergirl defeat Parasite, so now he has the confidence to patrol the mean streets of National City, taking down criminals — big and small.

In this new clip from tonight's "The Darkest Place" episode, an armed robber dashes out of the front door of the liquor store he just robbed. He glances over his shoulder to make sure he isn't being followed and ends up running into Guardian, who easily knocks him over with his shield. The crook scrambles to his feet and tries to get as far away from the masked-vigilante as he can, but Guardian shoots a grappling hook from his gauntlet, and it wraps around the criminal and strings him up.

IT'S SUPERGIRL VS. CYBORG SUPERMAN — While Guardian (Mehcad Brooks) tries to clear his name after being accused of a murder committed by another vigilante, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) heads out on a solo mission to rescue Mon-El (Chris Wood) who has been captured by CADMUS. While fighting to free Mon-El, Supergirl comes face to face with Cyborg Superman.

Glen Winter directed the episode written by Robert Rovner & Paula Yoo.

Distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. International Television Distribution, SUPERGIRL is executive produced by Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash), Ali Adler (The New Normal), Andrew Kreisberg (The Flash, Arrow) and Sarah Schechter (Blindspot, The Mysteries of Laura). Supergirl is based on the characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and appearing in DC Comics, by special arrangement with the Jerry Siegel Family.
