In Theaters: ***^ Supergirl (2026)

 There is lots to say about Super Girl in the media, most of it bad, (based on what Milly Alcock said rather than the show) but the movie is really pretty good.  There is the underlining theme of men vs women and they talk of why Clark Kent is Superman and Kara is Supergirl.  Supergirl (Milly Alcock) is having some kind of life crisis; and goes to a world where there is no yellow sun, so her powers are inert.  Krem (Matthias Schoenaerts) and his villains steal Kara's space ship.  They also poison Super Dog and Supergirl has only three days to get the antidote from Krem.  Kara is in pursuit on public transportation with Ruthye (Eve Ridley) tagging along as she wants to kill Krem for killing her parents and brother.  The public transportation ship is robbed, and only after the kick Supergirl off the ship does she get close enough for her powers to be restored.  They then chase the bad guys.  Lobo (Jason Mamoa), a bounty hunter, is also in pursuit of Krem and his men.  This leads to a big confrontation.  There are also several smaller confrontations on the way.  Krem's business is stealing women and selling them for breeding.  Supergirl has to rescue the women several times.  Supergirl convinces Ruthye not to kill Krem when she has the chance.  She worries it will ruin her spirit.  After her adventures she returns to Earth to settle down and visits Superman ((David Corenswet) with her dog.  

DC Animated Movie Review: ***^Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (2010)

I really enjoyed this Batman/Superman movie.  It is a sequel to Public Enemies.  In Public Enemies Batman (Kevin Conroy) and Superman (Tim Daly) stopped a meteor.  In this movie we learn that it was actually a spaceship from Krypton and Superman's cousin, Kara (Sumer Glau) was inside.   She has some difficulty adjusting to her powers as she is no longer n Krypton.  Wonder Woman (Susan Eisenberg) takes her to home of the Amazons where she can train.  However Darkseid (Andre Braugher) learns of this, and sends his minions to kidnap her.  The Amazons and the minions have quite a battle, but while they battle Kara is kidnapped and her friend killed.

Superman recruits Big Barda, (Julianne Grossman) Darkseid's former underling to take him to the Darkseid world, Apokolips.  Darkseid tries to capture Wonder Woman as an alternative, but fails, and Superman takes Kara home to the farm to meet his folks, and Darkseid is there.  He has incredible power in his eyes; more than Superman.

I liked the cusi showing up.  I thought she was a good addition, and trying to find her place.  

Movie Review: ***Supergirl (1984)

 This movie is made as a sequel to the Superman movies and to take advantage of the Superman buzz.  Supergirl/Linda Lee (Helen Slater) comes to earth looking for a device she lost.  It is an orb that keeps the refugee ship powered as the group has left Krypton.  Without the orb they are doomed.  Zaltar (Peter O' Toole) leads the group and condemns himself for the loss of the orb.

Supergirl follows the orb, and as luck would have it, it falls into the hands of a witch, Selena (Faye Dunaway), who wants to use the power to take over the world.  She has a couple helpers (Brenda Vaccaro and Peter Cook) Only Supergirl stands in her way.  Supergirl is cousin to Superman, and she goes to boarding school where she rooms with Lucy Lane (Maureen Teefy), Lois' young sister.  There is a handsome man (Hart Bochner) in the mix that Selena is determined to have, but her spell goes wrong and he attaches to Linda Lee, Supergirl's alter ego.  

This movie is mildly entertaining, but goes over the top and as a result did not get good reviews.  The other actor involved, from the Superman series is Marc McClure who plays Jimmy Olsen.  He is a friend of Lucy's.
