This summer, Nia Nal aka Dreamer, who first appeared in The CW’s Supergirl, which ran for six seasons, is making her debut in the DC Universe this summer’s in Superman: Son of Kal-El #13.
After making her debut on CW’s Supergirl, actress Nicole Maines along with Tom Taylor will bring the character of Nia Nal, and her superhero alter-ego Dreamer, to the pages of Superman: Son of Kal-El.
Maines will be co-writing Superman: Son of Kal-El #13 with series writer Tom Taylor, revealing that Jay Nakamura and Lois Lane aren’t the only journalists in Metropolis.
In a DC Comics press release, Maines said about helping to introduce the character into the main DCU:
“Jon Kent and Nia Nal are two characters that have a lot in common, both as superheroes with the weight of the world on their shoulders, and as young people with impossibly big shoes to fill. Weaving their stories together for Superman: Son of Kal-El with Tom was a complete pleasure, and there is only a little pun intended when I say that Superman and Dreamer make for a brilliant new Dream-Team.”
Series scribe Tom Taylor added:
“I’m so excited to work with Nicole Maines to bring Dreamer from the screen to the pages of Superman: Son of Kal-El and to the DC Comics Universe. I want to thank all the people at DC who have championed Dreamer and who recognize the importance of this powerful trans superhero in this time.”
