Gamemnae’s aim is to use technology to subjegate humans. Gamemnae is cunning, witty, ruthless, and always ten steps ahead of her adversaries. Gamemnae’s agenda puts her into conflict with her would-be allies and on a collision course with Supergirl.”
Supergirl will premiere in just a couple of weeks and is getting ready for The CW’s annual Arrowverse crossover, this time being Crisis on Infinite Earths.
