‘Supergirl’: Kevin Smith Shows Off New Jersey For Season 3 Directing Gig

A day after it was announced that Kevin Smith is helming a Season 3 episode of “Supergirl,” the director took to Instagram to show off the jersey he commissioned in honor of his new directing gig.

In his lengthy post, Smith revealed that the crest of the jersey was designed by storyboard artist Jeremy Simser. As seen in the photo, the crest shows an image of the Girl of Steel flying all while carrying a caricature of Smith. The director said that the design is “so insanely accurate,” because whenever he directs an episode of the CW series, the cast and crew carry his “fat [expletive] as well.”

Smith went on to praise the cast and crew of the superhero show, writing that they “do phenomenal work every week.” While Smith admitted that he’s “useless” in pre-production, he revealed that he tends to be more helpful when the cameras start rolling.

Smith ended his post by thanking The CW as well as executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg for giving him another opportunity to direct the show.

Smith revealed that he’s directing Season 3, episode 5 of “Supergirl” in a tweet he posted on Monday. According to the photo of the script that comes with the tweet, Season 1, episode 5 was written by Eric Carrasco and Cindy Lichtman.

Season 3, episode 5 is Smith’s third “Supergirl” episode. In Season 2, Smith directed both episodes 9 and 17.

In an interview with ComicBook.com in January, Smith revealed why he’s open to directing more episodes of “Supergirl.”

“I fell in love with everybody up there [in Vancouver, Canada], so it was easy to say ‘yes,’” Smith told the website. “It takes something special to make you put aside your own [stuff] when you’re creative, when you have the ability to make the stories you want to make. It’s fun to watch other people’s stories, [but] it’s just way more fun to make your own. So whenever you put your [stuff] aside, it has to be for something worthwhile.”

“Working on ‘Supergirl’ is like a month of your life, but I’d give it up in a heartbeat because the last experience I had was so rewarding and I was so happy with what we did,” Smith continued at the time. “I like all the people up there, and I believe in the show in a big, bad way. It’s incredibly warm. It's just well-made entertainment, and it’s got something to it. It’s a little nourishing, it’s not just fast food. There’s always some heart to it.”

“Supergirl” Season 3 premieres on Monday, Oct. 9, at 8 p.m. EDT on The CW.
