The six-and-a-half-minute long trailer does a good job of introducing us to the show and its characters. More importantly, it firmly establishes that Superman does indeed exist in this universe. Several references are made regarding Kara's "cousin."
We get a look at how Kara evolves into the superheroine that will come to be called Supergirl, as well as introductions to series regulars like James Olsen, Hank Henshaw, Cat Grant and Alex Danvers.
Supergirl definitely seems more akin to The Flash, rather than Arrow, at least in the tone of the series. The trailer made the show look like a good mix of drama and fun, instead of being all dark and gritty.
Some new promotional images for the show have also been released online:

SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe Award winner Calista Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet’s former photographer, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), as her new art director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime.
Supergirl is in development by Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler and Sarah Sechter, and will air this fall on CBS.
