Should Supergirl move to the beginning of May now that Marvel abandoned that spot for 2026.

If they can be done in time. But 8 weeks is kind of a huge amount to cut off from your post-production timeline.

 

[dhandler01]

Agreed. That film is gonna be special give it every chance to succeed!

Would it be a good idea to move to the date Parada 2 took? Both heavily skew towards women.

Interesting. I wonder how they are going to market this movie. Do you guys see a Barbie type of marketing campaign for young women or maybe even the Superman marketing plan.

I would expect something closer to Superman. Considering the story, they could do something a bit different but I'm not sure how much of the pure story will be there.

 

[flickchick85]

Honestly you can’t market that story like Barbie. Kara ain’t that character.

Spoiler

Less then a minute and she was a top 10 big screen superhero.

I'm sure this will be fun. But I feel there's now a big unaddressed monkey in the room with the reveal about Kryptonians in the Superman movie

 

[Gee]

Spoiler

A few seconds of her and I am already in love.

Frequent Craig Gillespie collaborator, film editor Tatiana S. Riegel, ACE (Cruella, I, Tonya) confirmed on her IG page that she’s working on the movie.

Spoiler

I had really expected Gunn’s film to be their introduction, so now I wonder if Supergirl will feature Kara’s arrival on Earth and her introduction to Clark in flashback, perhaps to cap off the destruction of Krypton/the slow disintegration of Argo City, and present Clark as some small measure of light at the end of the tunnel.

Maybe Supergirl’s partying & planet-hopping is what puts her (and Earth) on Brainiac’s radar.

For this mystery film Gunn keeps teasing, you could take the skeleton of Loeb’s Superman/Batman: Supergirl & just swap Darkseid for Brainiac (in broad strokes). Plus, you get DC’s Wonder Woman & Batman.

If Brainiac’s invading from the future, thrown in the Legion of Super-Heroes for an even wilder spin.

Call it DC: World’s Finest

In the end, Kara leaves for the future with Brainiac 5 to set up Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes while, in the DCU present-day, the Trinity decide they need to start a league to protect Earth…

 

[Gee]

So... Is the fandom fine with this Kara having dirty blonde hair?

Love the coat being part of the costume. Really adds a nice weary vagabond/road warrior vibe to her.

 

[Business Time]

Kara being a rebel problem child is some good counter-programming for some audiences who found the Corenswet Superman too 'corny' for lack of a better word.

This was actually a really good way to go in order to differentiate the characters.

First time I've seen her in costume. From what I can see of it I love it!

 

[fiasco45]

they changed her belt from the cameo

But I dig it otherwise.

 

[emielaen]

Think it could change dates too since Gunn only put “Look Out. 2026” but we’ll see.

 

[Primal Slayer]

But I dig it otherwise.

the comparison is being called out around the interweb lol.

They've always been different, though.

 

[Gee]

Yeah that reminded me of the Shazam! poster...

Hopefully we see her with the sword in later promo material.
