Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

I dunno. I haven’t watched the new Superman but my impression is he has his life together and walks the straight and narrow. Having his chick cousin being a sloppy galactic sorostitute seems like it could be an accidental commentary on the state of most 19-25 year old women now.

Sheesh, at least post the trailer.



Yeah this looks fairly silly. Anytime a movie reminds me of an SNL skit, it is usually pretty bad. NO to a theater but I might watch this once on streaming like I did with Superman.

Nothing about this trailer makes me want to see the movie.

Totally agree. I don't care if it's "in the comics!". There's also versions of Kara where she's not a piece of shit. How about a big-titty Power Girl? I'd buy that for a dollar!

The Snyder Cut of Justice League also had stuff with Darkseid and his minions planning to come to Earth and find out what happened to Steppenwolf, etc. Guessing the following movies would have been a lot like the Thanos story, except the goons would have likely continued showing up one at a time and gotten their own movies instead of all showing up as underbosses with the big guy. They also alluded to Superman turning evil in one of the future movies and everyone else having to team up to subdue him. There were some good ideas for long-term plans there.

Oh boy this is something I know a bit about.

JL 1 was to introduce Steppenwolf as Darkseid’s Lt.

JL 2 was the “knightmare” scenario hinted at in BVS. Darkseid takes control of Superman or manipulates him to be evil after Lois Lane dies (pregnant with Bruce Wayne’s baby for some stupid reason).

JL3 was to be the big ending with Superfriends vs Darkseid.

now, the Bruce Wayne + Lois Lane sounds ridiculous. But I did like the Knightmare scene in BVS and in SnyderCut. I think seeing Superman being evil would be really interesting.

ultimately, I don’t think WB has good leadership. The comics have been a hot mess since the end of the New 52 in 2016. The movies have been atrocious (with a rare good one like the Batman or the Suicide Squad).

apparently David Goyer’s original cut of Suicide Squad (2016) was really good. I mean the dude made Fury (2014) right before it. He’s an amazing writer director. Fury is one of the best war movies to come out in the 21st century.

I think Snyder crushed it with Man of Steel, even if there were pacing issues and the beginning scene was too long for a blockbuster. Snyder obvi crushed it with 300, Dawn of the Dead, and I personally am hella impressed with his Watchmen adaptation (it’s very faithful to the comic).

but I don’t think WB would let him do what he wanted to do. We see that with BVS being a hot mess, we see that with Suicide Squad (2016), we saw that with Justice League.

WB owns the biggest superheroes IP. Yet they keep shooting themselves in the foot being reactionary and trying to replicate Marvel, and even Marvel hasn’t released a good MCU movie since Infinity War.

I think endgame was entertaining with fan service but an actual good movie from pacing, writing, plot development, etc it wasn’t. They killed the villain in the opening act. Then did a time travel alt universe thing. It just felt like lazy writing imo.

Spider-Man 3 was good to see Toby and Garfield again, but it was made by Sony, and tbh, I think it has the same problems as Endgame.

Deadpool 3 was great, but lesbihonest, that’s very much a Fox production white labeled as Disney.

MCU is dead, unfortunately. The Batman 2 still has hope. Super-strong-independent-woman-who-don’t-need-no-Superman looks like a GOTG clone. Not really interested in that as the actor has the charisma of a door knob.

Tom Clancy wrote alcoholism well with Jack Ryan struggling with it during the Sum of All Fears novel. Alcoholism can be portrayed really well, but, party girl with no consequences is not it, fam. Unless she drinks away her life or something.

I hope the actor and movie does well. But I genuinely don’t see how y’all are attracted to her. Different strokes for different folks, but she just isn’t my type at all.

At the end of the day, who really gives a shit about Supergirl? Superman I can understand, but his female cousin, ehhhhh....

It's just not a movie I even have on my radar. I watched the new Superman movie because it was on HBO, and God damn was it a slog. It was just so horrible, and I can't imagine this film will be anything if not worse.

The actor for Superman had such potential, too. I’ve seen him in other stuff. He looks the part and is a good actor.

This looks like Guardians of the Galaxy if you removed the Guardians of the Galaxy from it and put in two random girls. And a dog who maybe dies, so fuck that.

I'm not really interested in Supergirl, and am not a big fan of Superman in the first place though I did go see and truly enjoyed the last Superman, I was very surprised in fact.

I always considered Superman to be a relatively flat and uninteresting character, too "goody-two-shoes" to really be all that interesting, and too powerful to have much of a challenge unless there's kryptonite involved, but what made me reconsider my position on Superman some years ago was David Carradine's lines in Kill Bill 2 about how his favorite super hero is Superman. Almost every super hero puts on a suit to become a super hero or to enable their powers, the suit is their way to hide their identity. But for Superman, he's just Superman all the time, he has to put on a suit to become a normal human. And he acts like a human based on how he sees us : weak, cowardly, fragile, bumbling.

I thought that was a good analysis of the Superman character and it made me like him a bit more, even if most adaptations don't really consider that side of the character at all.

Hilariously the best version of Evil Superman was in that one fighting game Injustice.

Where the Joker comes to Metropolis because he got tired of Batman always getting the best of him. So he wanted to play casual mode and fuck around in Metropolis. Despite all his power Superman was simply unable to combat the sheer cunning and depravity of the Joker. Who just straight killed Lois and a bunch of others. The usual suspects in terms of Superman villains are simply not that interested in people. They always have some grander scheme that is less focused on the individual person. Giving Superman room to use his powers to protect them. This caused Supes to go full Hitler.

I never played it but reminds me of a few things.

- in the comics, Joker tried to fuck around in Metropolis and Superman straight up told him, “Batman has the no killing rule. I don’t. Don’t test me.”

- Superman: Red Son comic by Mark Millar was based (never saw the movie adaptation). But Superman lands in Soviet Russia instead of Kansas, and becomes an autocrat communist super man and it’s wild.

- Justice League tv show: Justice Lords. Basically Superman becomes what you described and starts lobotomizing villains.

I’d recommend reading “The Dark Knight Returns” (1986) by Frank Miller. It’s probably my favorite depiction of the Superman in comic form. Superman is basically the right hand of the USA govt and how that plays out against Russia and against illegal vigilantes like the Batman.

The Death of Superman (1992) by a handful of authors is also based and genuinely complex. A lot goes into the morality of who Superman saves, does he even need to be Superman, etc. there’s even a point where he’s fighting Doomsday, uses his super heat vision and misses Doomsday but catches a suburban house on fire with people inside. Then Doomsday leaves to Metropolis, so now Supes has to decide to save the people in the burning house or to stop Doomsday from killing more people in Metropolis. Either way: people will die from his choice.

Superman can be written like a boy scout or be written like a complex psuedo Dr Manhattan. It really depends on who is writing him but your complaints are hella valid on how lazy writers have portrayed him.
