With how good Superman turned out it will only help with Supergirl IMO.   I don't expect huge box office numbers, but if the DCU can be steady with the quality of it's movies then it'll bring in more over time.  Plus I expect the TV shows on HBO Max to be solid as well.

Oh, never mind

A good sign is that Supergirl filming has ended and it is now in post-productions; editing, visual effects, etc. Such an extended period improves the odds it'll be a quality production. The cast is good, so we're down to the script and direction.

Grew up with Superman in the 80s and did not like the original Supergirl (1984) movie. Tried to get into Supergirl on CW but I stopped watching halfway through the first season. I can't remember exactly what it was that stopped me, but that was it for me. Watched all of Superman on CW, liked it a lot even though the last season or two got too mushy for my liking.

It's odd that Superman got a rating of 7.8 and only got 4 seasons, whereas Supergirl is rated at 6.2 and got 6 seasons!

They were shite, movies and tv, they've always cast well though. I've always liked the supergirls actresses but the stories portrayed have been terrible. Shame because supergirl comics have had good stories.. hopefully the new one will be better

Since it's Gunn in control and he knows his comics inside and out I don't worry about the scripts.  They're pulling from one of the best Supergirl comics out there for the movie, I expect it'll turn out good.

Certainly interested in this and looking forward to seeing it.  Not sure how keen I am on Supergirl being a lush (I prefer the CW style), but if that's how the comics played out, I'm ok with it.

From what read is that a) DC didn't want two different Supermans running at the same time (find that excuse BS) and b) CW didn't want to continue with superhero shows anymore.

Speaking as someone who doesn't read comics and is not a Marvel fan. I didn't mind some of the early movies, but after a few I got bored. I do actually like the occasional DC movie and I do like the old Superman & Batman films. I even didn't mind Superman 2025, it was decently entertaining and fun.

This looks utterly awful. She seems so unlikeable, just a pile of cringeworthy memes slapped together into a character.

But I am definitely not the target audience.

supergirl should be super cute, not ..someone available and cheap actress in California (or even cheaper bring her from australia)

I think she is supposed to be like that, somewhat obnoxious.

People who know the comic the movie is based off of will understand her personality in the trailer.  The plot of the movie will explain it and her growth.  Some of you need to relax.   Good movies can have bad trailers and terrible movies can have great trailers.  You won't know which is which till you actually see the movie.

A brief glimpse of Jason Momoa as Lobo from the trailer.

So they definitely got HER right, I shall await the rest of the movie to fill in some of the detail.

Single, lonely nerd comments on female's appearance in a comic-book adaptation it's almost memeworthy if it wasn't so sadly pathetic.

Seems like it will be a perfectly cromulant film.

[Innervisions33]

Looking forward to seeing the DCU expand further.  We'll see how this plays out!

[hellowalkman Reporter]

Hyped for Lobo!!!!

 

[Zathras5]

Widdle baby Krypto.

....Krypto was the best part of Superman (the movie was otherwise boring and the story itself was dumb, IMO). 

Not sure about this one either...looks like just another run of the mill superhero movie.  Perhaps it's just fatigue...

Krypto is a good CGI boy though.
