![]() She faces Zod in the episode DC Super Hero Boys. Despite being unable to get off the ground because of the kryptonite, Supergirl manages to get to her phone and alert the team after surveying her surroundings and using them to bump her phone closer to her. All through the episode, Kara takes a brute-force approach to defeating threats, but Catwoman outsmarts her and uses her to break into a safe containing kryptonite to weaken her. Diana tries to teach Kara to think strategically and anticipate the opponent's next moves in the episode Fight at the Museum. The narrator in the promotional clip Meet Supergirl! says Kara used to babysit her cousin Clark Kent, and that Kara "puts up a tough exterior but actually has a soft side" with a clip of Kara talking in a cutesy voice to the bunnies in Adventures in Bunnysitting after putting up an indifferent act when Zee asked her to bunnysit them. Her adoptive parents, Eliza and Jeremiah Danvers, drop her off at her new school, Metropolis High School, after some incident involving her impulse control. The first episode of the series, Sweet Justice, introduces Kara at the beginning of the episode. This is basically my attitude towards these changes, too.Eliza, Kara, and Jeremiah Danvers, from the episode House Pest But I'm going to withhold final judgement until I see what she actually looks like as the character in costume and until I find out more about her character's role. With all that being said, I'm willing to give Sasha a chance as Supergirl. When I see a blonde in a Superman looking costume, I immediately assume that's a version of Supergirl because I associate that particular visual identity with that character. Even as an alternate universe Kara, it doesn't strike me immediately as Supergirl.īut, when I see the manips of Sasha as blonde hair Supergirl, I see Kara Zor-El. I see "female Superman" or Superman's daughter or Lois as Superwoman. When I see the manips of Sasha as dark hair Supergirl, I don't immediately see Kara Zor-El because that's not how Kara has always looked. ![]() But even something simple like changing hair color from blonde to brunette throws me off and makes the character less recognizable (to me) as that character. Or, if Supergirl were still a blonde but sported a mohawk and was covered in tattoos and piercings and trash-talked with a foul mouth. But, if I he looked and acted more like Lobo, I doubt I would be interested in the character. ![]() It's partly what attracts us to the character in the first place and maintaining a consistent familiar design is partly what keeps us hooked on the character throughout the years.įor example, Superman is by far my favorite hero. And for comic book characters especially, that visual design is a big part of their identity. These characters were created with a specific visual design. Otherwise, they'd become completely different characters! I would not want a Supergirl who looks (and acts) more like Raven nor a Raven who looks and acts more like Supergirl. ![]() Yet, those characters have completely different looks and personalities. I'm also a fan of Raven from Teen Titans. I'm a fan of Supergirl and she's probably my favorite female superhero. The more I'm a fan of that character, and the more attachment I have towards that character, the more resistant I am towards changes to that character. This is basically my attitude towards these changes, too.
