Kara Zor-El/Supergirl Appreciation 2022

[Frontier]

Kara is one of those characters who doesn't need a romantic life. Give her a consistent supporting cast of close knit friends and she'll thrive.

Why can't she have a love interest?

[Micabe]

Because no one would agree on Kara's lover's gender and pronouns.

[Primal Slayer]

[TheKryptonMan]

Basically a work around to have Supergirl and that dynamic in there while not going against DC's "Superman is the only active Kryptonian" mandate.

Well for me , ever since I first learned about Kara being Kal's cousin, since Jor-El and Zor-El were brothers.

Why can't she have a love interest?

I never said she couldn't have a love interest. Would having a love interest elevate her character? Besides, there are way too many ship wars in the general, an extra one is unneeded.

Ok... THAT right there is a "prepare to die" face. O_o' Which Earth is this?

Lack of canon love interests encourages shipping in general.

Silver Age craziness .

I don't think it's a matter of elevating her character but expanding it and her personal story.

This is from a 90s elseworld. Have no idea if it has an official designation.

Is there a chance for her in young justice?

Weisman has wanted to include her but he’s said he wouldn’t put her in unles she thought he could give her story the focus it deserves. Given the focus on Zod and the Kryptonians this season I say yeah she could show up, either this season or next.

Since when has he cared about giving characters the focus they deserve? Im surprised she wasnt just put in and said to have retired.

When he likes the characters he makes sure they get some love (Green Arrow & Black Canary being examples of this). When he doesn’t care or is only bringing in characters for diversity purposes he halfasses it. If he brings in Kara now though he can tie her into the whole deal with Zod.

[Frontier]

Yeah, I feel like after mentioning her dad and all the focus on the Phantom Zone, at the very least they might tease her.

They already mention you don't age in the Phantom Zone and that's usually the excuse they use for why Kara is the same age she was when she left Krypton when she lands on Earth instead of being physically older than Clark. So it seems like they're setting up explaining her usual status quo.
