Kara Zor-El: Supergirl Appreciation 2020

[sifighter]

Who should be Superwoman in the DCU?

Lana, Lucy, Lois, someone else?

Kara, I think eventually she should be allowed to grow up out of the teenage age and become Superwoman. She doesn’t need to change uniform or anything, it’s just that eventually as she can get older I would expect that she wouldn’t want to go by girl.

TV Kara's older than the comics version has been since the Crisis at this point, isn't she? I wouldn't be surprised if comics Kara gets aged up too when her book relaunches.

Batwoman/Supergirl: World's Finest is out digitally on Monday.

Kara need more space adventures compared to her cousin.

I could see them convenience aging Kara, the old not acknowledging actual age thing, into a college student. Although I suppose they did that in the 70’s/80’s, but maybe it can last longer or something.

I could see Kara as an agent of the United Planets or involved with Zod’s new Krypton....hopefully it can last longer then the last one pre-flashpoint.

The comics in the Silver and Bronze age slowly aged her. She graduated from high school in Action #318 (1964), then from college in Adventure #406 (1971), then had her moving through a series of jobs and cities until CoIE.

Those stories could be weird and goofy by today’s standards but they actually did a better job than modern comics in slowly progressing the character. If New52 Kara was 15 when she arrived like in the silver age she’d be in college if the stories were paced the same.

Isn't Kara college-aged now or did they back-pedal?

Also World's Finest was boring.

She had reached college age just before Flashpoint (the last arc by Kelly Sue DeConnick took place at a college) but the only time since then an Earth school has been mentioned was during the Orlando run where she was in High School.

They would probably do what all comics do and what they’ve done for years, convenience aging. Basically draw them as however they need for the story but never officially say how old the character is.

Its a damn shame kara isnt talked about more, shes the original pg.

If it helps she appears to be back and ready for Death Metal if this art is any indication.

One good thing about Death Metal is it looks like it’s cleaning up the mess Didio made of Kara and Ric.

It doesn't look like her costume is changed much...maybe some armor around the skirt part? But it's not very noticeable.

I mean I can’t imagine every character can get their own dark multiverse/apocalyptic hellscape earth outfit. You can probably just imagine how jealous Booster gold is on Batman’s bat-themed duster jacket.

One thing the OG 60s Teen Titans noticeably lacks is a Superman equivalent. It’s noticeable because Supergirl was a HUGE deal in the years leading up to COIE. Why wasn’t she apart of the team?
