Recently there was some Super Girl Movie news late last year. I dont tihnk they should have the movies until possibly after the movies or not have them at all because it brings to mind. Why cant she just help Superman, or Superman doesnt reallt need to save the World single handedly if he has other heroes.

What would the story be..? Superman just goes to Krypton in Superman Returns and finds nothing and also alot of stuff about Kryption is revealed..

Maybe she is not such a bad idea...?

Yes. Make her a young child; 12, 13, 14...around that age who appears as a Kryptonian survivor in the sequel.

The writers did want to explore that angle of Kryptonian survivors.

Id like her to be someone Superman has to rescue in the sequel....but in the film after that, when shes around 16/17, she can be Supergirl.

I don't think they should put Supergirl (or Superboy for that matter) in the new Superman movies. If they absolutely want to use the character she should get her own movie. I don't think there is much demand for one, though, I'd rather see some other DC characters like Green Lantern and Flash before they make another Supergirl movie.

well i wouldnt want to see superboy either. but i was thinkin since shes been such big character the past years in DC and apparently the writer wants to explore the idea of other survivors from Krypton, she might be an interesting character to bring say in the third film.

Sure, so I can drool over her. It'd be neat to see Superman rescue Kara Zor-El, so he wouldn't feel so--no pun intended--alienated all the time since he'd have someone to relate with.

Supergirl "Kara Zor-El" I would love to see in a later Superman movie.

The Supergirl comics are doing very well. Top ten. She could be in the movie with "Darkseid" with him having her turn on Superman or something like in the comics.

They should have some of the badguys that have never been in the Superman movies first, then bring her in the third or 4 movie or something like that.

I really hope Singer does not drag-out the Superman movies very slowly like he did with the X-Men.

Supergirl or Batman in the movies before Superboy or this new dumb kid.

oh god no super-girl is not important to the superman mythos. Shes a gimmick character. i dun care how you slice it, another super being would take away from superman himself. It would make these movies into a joke, they might as well put krypto in as well to complete the joke.

Not sure I'd want to see Supergirl in a new Superman movies - and her being a female knockoff of a popular male comic book hero (a la She-Hulk or Spider-Girl), I don't think she'd be able to support a movie of her own, even without an over-the-top Faye Dunaway, a wasted Peter O'Toole and an unnecessary cameo by whoever's playing Jimmy Olsen.

Now Power Girl, on the other hand...:D

I think they should introduce her. They had the perfect oppertunity to introduce Kara(not Supergirl yet) in SR if they had wanted since Superman was in space for how many years? he could have found her(STAS origin probably best so fans wouldnt be upset with the whole last son of krypton thing).

Unfortunately, Singer is a little more interested in doing things with the Donner edge, and less the approach of STAS. That documentary that came out on Superman recently that Singer produced covered almost all facets of Superman and barely just glossed over STAS. It was a real slap in the face of the DCAU and all the work that Timm/Dini did.

Superman in space would have been a really great opportunity to bring Supergirl back. Unfortunately, instead of mentoring Supergirl, Singer would rather Superman mentor a young boy who happens to be his child. It's rather disappointing to me, but Singer is going to do whatever he wants.

Yeah, lucky us. We get to focus on a new character rather than a character who is already existing in the DC Universe that could be a strong female character and someone he could mentor, and if she wanted to leave at the end she could. Instead we get Superson.

Thanks again, Singerman. :down

Give me Kara over Jason anyday. However, given Singer's choices, we'll never see her. Singer was bound and determined to bring in Superman's son. Now that he and his whack pack of Harris and Daugherty have opened up the offspring can by introducing Jason, it's highly unlikely we'll ever see Kara.

Superman Prime
07-09-2006, 07:06 PM
IF they do, they need to model it after how the "Superman" animated show did it (the show that comes on Boomerang alongside "Batman",)... that interpretation was flawless and nicely handled.

But yes, I would like to see Kara as Supergirl in one of the sequel movies. Not for sure if there is any chance of that ever happening, though.

I definitely agree with you. That's one ball that Singer dropped by introducing Jason into the mix. Kara would have appealed to another demographic and brought another niche of fans into the film, and if it were Elisha Cuthbert, or Hilary Duff as widely speculated it could have been.

Singer's approach will unlikely see that happen. He has a tendancy to downplay the impact of females in his films. Evidenced by the limited roles in Apt Pupil, Usual Suspects, and both X-Men films. He did have a major role for Lois Lane, but Superman canon pretty much requires it.

Singer dropped the ball with many missed opportunities. Kara really rocked in STAS/JL/JLU, and it would have been great to see her on-screen in a quality manner.

quantumcat
07-20-2006, 06:06 PM
One twist would be having Kara come in toward the last as a child.

Superman would have someone super in his life to relate to but he
would refuse to go the 'sidekick' route for obvious reasons.

He would want Kara to have a chance at a normal childhood even though
she is way ahead of himself at the same age or Jason in the metahuman
department.

Superpowers,death of her world AND being a little girl.

Those wouldn't be easy burdens on anyone.

She could be Kal-el's biological/legal cousin or not but she would be established
as having a sufficiently similar but different genetic code that she can't be assumed to be headed for the same power development as Superman plus the 'incest factor'
would not exist if she and JASON were to perpetuate the Kryptonian line.

Kara gets to be a regular moppet even as she absorbs her new culture,learns to control
her gifts and ponders whether she will one day become a heroine.

(Yes,Superman's life is a cautionary tale but she's also growing up with Hermione,
Pippi Longstocking,Heinlein's Pee Wee and Podkayne,the Leewit,Roald Dahl's Matilda,
Sidney,Buffy,Veronica Mars,Samantha Carter and role models such as Martha Kent.)

She can imagine herself as applying her skills to save the world just like the girls in the
video games-only without the cleavage.

When a bully locks her in an abandoned freezer that had not been child-proofed,
she wonders how she can escape without revealing her secret.

She manages to get a clue to Jason who has to figure out a way of releasing her without HIS secret coming to light.

He does so in a typical Clark fashion and warns his young friend.

" Little girls do NOT belong in refrigerators!"

She gives him a 'DUHHHHHHHHHH!!!' look and replies: "I know that!"

He is busy trying to understand who he is and why he can do the things he can
(sometimes).

Why does his body seem so strong one minute and unable to perform basic functions
like breathing the next?

His mom says that's just the way he was born and it's something he has to make the
best of.

We see the paralell lives of two children tied to Superman.

Both are trying to balance growing into their superhuman abilities while attempting the
equally daunting tasks of just becoming themselves.

This development could occur over several films.


Instead of doing Lolita from Argo City,we could be given a tween heroine that could celebrate being a child.

A Fanning sister,AnnaSophia Robb or their ilk could grow into a slightly edgier Kara
with the wit and steel found in the young Natalie Portman or the early Anna Paquin.

We would get our attractive ingenue after watching her grow into her role as Supergirl
on screen and in the storyline.

(Jason would be metamorphisizing,too.)

This would let us get the next generation of super-heroes started without cloning the adult versions,subjecting anyone to a cloying Super-Tot as a failed audience surrogate
or getting in the way of grown-up storylines prematurely.

If done correctly,this could embellish the Superman saga without risking his being burdened with vapid teen idols or some Koi from Krypton practicing their heat vision
in Clark's goldfish bowl.

Bargh?

Jason's a supporting character, he had slightly more screen time than Perry White... why do we have to focus on him? He'll have powers when he's older, sure, but he's not the center of anything... just a touching subplot...

Also, Singer is (surprise), keen on introducing other Kryptonians... why one couldn't be Kara, I don't know...

Also, you guys need to stop casting 25 year olds as teenage sidekicks to 30 year old superheroes...

Also, I hope they don't make her into Supergirl... let Superman be the superhero... everyone else should be supporting cast...

Here's an idea for introducing one of the Karas:

Luthor, with the aid of some nutjob scientist named Milton Fine, devises a means to hurt Superman through - of course - the ones he loves, Lois and Jimmy, utilizing technology derived from Luthor's acquired knowledge about Krypton, the crystals, and specifically the time-space-warping properties of the Phantom Zone. Superman flies into the trap to save them but all three get catapulted into a space-time-warp that plops them down on Krypton several months before its destruction and before Superman's own birth. To find a way back, Kal-El must seek out his own father. To do this, he needs to adopt an inconspicuous alias and ditch the 'S' - he continually has to warn Lois and Jimmy that he's interfered in human history once and can't allow himself to do so again, under any circumstances. Kal-El's unusual proficiency with crystals forges a kinship between Jor-El and his future son, one which further alienates Jor-El's friend and comrade, General Zod. Zod's disgruntlement is worsened by the fact that the Krypton Council now seems to put their blind trust in an artificial intelligence originating from the planet Colu named Brainiac, which is seen in the guise of the drone-sentinel-stormtrooper-guy in the S:TM director's cut. (This would bring some design challenges, since you can't have the whole cast in those goofy reflective suits for two hours; I figure Brainiac himself is reflective and has drones that aren't, as seen at the start of SII, and only members of the Council and their immediate families wear white.When we go inside Kryptonopolis there would be a multitude of colors worn by the entire citizenry, and not all of it would be glowing). Anyhoo, Jor-El has Superman and his friends accompanying him to a conference on Argo where they meet an old associate of Jor-El's, Kala In-Ze and her daughter Kara, and when Kara and Jimmy meet it's love at first sight. But Brainiac figures out that Jor-El's new apprentice is more than he seems, and when his obsession with ferreting out the visitor's origins draws Zod's attention, the General suspects Brainiac is planning to overthrow the Council. His cries go unheard, however, and more disgusted than before, Zod suspects that Jor-El is conspiring with Brainiac and this new underling behind Zod's own back. The situation gets worse with Jimmy and Kara's growing relationship. Jimmy is painfully reminded of what fate awaits Krypton AND Argo, and is genuinely torn between keeping the first true love of his life even though it may mean his own death, or leaving her behind to die alone. This, coupled with Superman and Lois spending more time together than they'd been planning on in view of her prolonged engagement, creates a gaggle of conflict for the Man of Steel, and even if ANY of our heroes live long enough to make it back to present-day Earth, someone has likely pursued them back aboard his own skulllike starship...

So basically my idea for introducing Kara would be a Donner sequel AND prequel that's also a combination of "Back To The Future", "Somewhere In Time", and "Revenge Of The Sith". :p

Supergirl is nowhere close to 6'0 though, thats too tall.

Anyway, I think Mischa's on screen sister on the OC, Willa Holland, resembles the teenage Turner Supergirl more (and is currently the right age for it).


Problem is, like Barton, she can't act beyond playing a valley girl. Personally I dont care about that but I know the fanbase will rip it apart.

Kaley C would be awful though, you need someone like her:

I'd love to see Kara, but I don't think Singer will do her. He really doesn't do female characters well, as evidenced in his other films.

Furthermore, I think bringing in Jason as Singer (foolishly did, IMO) really diminishes the chance to utilize Kara/Supergirl in a Superman film. I really don't think we'll ever see her in a Singer influenced Superman film.

It's really very sad, because I feel the best interpretation of her occurred when she was used in STAS, and then her character evolved and grew into JLU. She also gives Superman a viable backup to deal with menaces that are too big to deal with alone.

Brainiac 2009
02-12-2007, 11:27 PM
What does Jason have to do with Kara Zor-El?

The comics had Kon-El (the half breed Kryptonian) and Supergirl fighting side by side as part of the Superman family for some time prior to his death.

Theres room for 3, or 2 and 1/2,.... but I'd say its way too soon now for Supergirl now.

Maybe someday around the time Nolan concedes to bring Robin in.

dpm07
02-13-2007, 06:02 AM
I'd love to see a third film with Darkseid coming to earth, as well as Kara's ship. That way we'd have a balance of evil and good.

This would also give Superman an ally to help against Darkseid.

Having Jason in the film really neutralizes the opportunity to use Kara. The reason is that Superman takes over that surrogate mentor role, and a lot of the things that they could have used for Kara end up being used for Jason.

Really IMO it was incredibly goofy for them to bring Jason into the mix. Many people I've talked to in the real world echo this is as well, and agree with the idea of having Jason really hurts the chances of bringing Kara into a Superman film.

Brainiac 2009

Superman can still be a mentor/teacher to Kara and a father to Jason. They both need different things from him.

I could see them bringing her in IF there was a demand for it but its too soon now.

I know in addition to Brainiac, M+D also said they were working around the concept of possible Kryptonian survivors who arent Zod; so the seeds for Kara may be planted there.

I'm hoping her new upcoming run in the comics will make her more appealing to fans. Theyre taking a new approach with her personality.

That's good. I'll definitely check it out. I've personally always liked the way they did her personality in the DCAU, and then showed her progression from STAS on into the JLU. We were able to see her evolve from a 16 year old kid, to a 21-22 year old lady.

Ya, JLU was good but sadly it got compromised by her not being his real cousin and not being a Kryptonian.

I think they had the right idea to bring her back in 04, but fans just werent down with her new teenybopper ways.

You're right. There was some deviation, but I liked the way they did show a connection if not Kryptonian, then with the sister planet of Argos. Still, a Kryptonian origin for Kara would be fine as well. I didn't mind the lack of blood-kin so to speak, because Clark pretty much has taken her in as a sister or cousin. I liked how she interacted with Ma/Pa Kent in STAS as well, too.

I do agree with you with regard to the way they did her with the teenybopper ways in 04. I would have preferred that they had matured her a little more. Again, I liked the progression from STAS to JLU.

As long as they get the relationship right between Kara and Clark, I'd be pleased. I really liked how toward the end of Legacy in STAS, she was the one who pulled him back instead of pursuing Darkseid, and helped bring him to his senses. That connection between her and Clark is what I really liked.

Really IMO it was incredibly goofy for them to bring Jason into the mix. Many people I've talked to in the real world echo this is as well, and agree with the idea of having Jason really hurts the chances of bringing Kara into a Superman film.

i originally thought the same way but now believe kara could really bring home the message about the importance of family. that yes he has an earth son but he still has his heritage in the stars if you get my meaning. DC and WB are interested in supergirl as a property enough to have her in their movie plans overall- whether it gets made is another question. however female superheroes don't usually do well on film- adding her to the superman line up would be a definite marketing point in a future movie - and i think will get teen girls into the movie like the last one didn't. lois was just far too weak and they couldn't relate to her situation. supergirl would be a different story. I wouldn't want the clueless kara of the old movie though- by all means start her as not adapting to life on this planet but get over it pretty quickly. i mean these days kara is the pop culture cool character of DC.

I think you make some really good points. As I've said before, for myself, I'd like to see them give us a Kara that was similar to STAS/JLU. Like you said, it would bring in another demographic.

I don't know if Singer would be willing to do this, however. He really seems to distance himself from the animated versions of the characters that have been so popular. It's possible he could change, but I'd have to see it to believe it. Not saying it couldn't happen, but I'm skeptical.

She is a good option. But think Jor El's intentions as protective over his son by saying he's unique. I can't imagine such advanced civilization stuck in the planet like us, they were also explorers. They should be the ones introduced with a natural enemy that seems to be growing, leading them to our point. Once here in a public conference aired worldwide Superman asks them to join... the atomic reaction combined from certain stars shall revert this degeneration.

superman hasn't been unique since the 50's! he's unique to fan's for obvious reasons but supergirl has been in the superman mythos longer than out of it.
She's one of the most important people in his life. His only blood relative.

i think portraying superman as unique - a one off in the kryptonian sense goes against 50 years of comics. I've never put superman on that pedestal because it just isn't true.

I'd say introduce her in perhaps the 4th film when Jason is a teenager.

It would be remincent of the Kon-El and Supergirl days.


Hopefully by then Nolan would have decided to bring in Dick Grayson too.

Nah, I say that Supes really wanted a daughter, so he uses his heat vision to perform an impromptu sex change operation on Jason, also renaming him Kara.

And presto, Supergirl has arrived. :woot:

If that's the case, I hope 'it' dies during the op. :cwink: :woot:

Supergirl is good for one thing.... pornos. Nothing more.
