The DC Comics heroine will star in a series from Greg Berlanti, who's produced “Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Green Lantern” and “No Ordinary Family.” As Deadline points out, “While CBS may look as a surprising home for a younger-skewing superhero drama, it was the only broadcast network without a comic book series. Additionally, CBS has been making a push in female-lead dramas with 'Extant,' 'Madam Secretary' and 'CSI: Cyber' joining staple 'The Good Wife.'”

In a series of tweets, Rhimes points out that the article singles her out for her black female characters while ignoring the rantings of her white females (including Meredith and Addison). Rhimes also wasn”t happy that the article labeled her a “romance writer.” She tweeteed: “Wait. I”m” angry' AND a ROMANCE WRITER?!! I'm going to need to put down the internet and go dance this one out. Because ish is getting real.”
