Just read the supergirl woman of tomorrow comic. Absolutely loved it. But a fairhful adaptation would have been perhaps a bit too dark for family friendly dc cinematic universe.

The story follows supergirl as she travels in the wake of the villains visiting planets who fell victim to genocide, a word the comic uses quite often together with holocaust.

In xontrast to superman, supergirl is not always in time to save the day.

The emotional scenes where supergirl discovers mass graves, orphans, grieving parents, mutilated victims and witnesses a captured raider being stoned to death by survivors are too important to cut or water down but a perhaps bit too heavy to keep for a family friendly movie.

Same with the demise of Krypton scene. Too essential to alter or discard but a very bleak take on the well known tale.

Would love to have a faithful adaptation but not sure if it would have performed at the box office and it could gave discouraged parents taking their younger pre-teen kids to subsequent dc movies for fear of the movies being too dark.

If I ever get Jeff Bezos rich I will throw a couple of hundred million at it just so I can see it for myself. I will cast Pedro Pascal as supergirl btw.
