To most casual comic book movie fans, Supergirl has always been a second-tier character. A Kryptonian cousin to Superman aka Kal-El, she has traditionally been portrayed as Clark Kent’s more genteel superpowered cousin in a miniskirt. That image has carried over through the character’s various media adaptations, in the CW’s somewhat successful Arrowverse series or the disastrous 1984 film starring Helen Slater as Kara Zor-El.
But if there’s a filmmaker who can take unloved characters and turn them into superstars, it is Guardians of the Galaxy writer/director and recently installed DC Films head James Gunn. His announcement that the DCEU’s version of Supergirl would be based on the far edgier take found in the DC Comics title Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has caused an immediate run on the books by fans.
