Warning : contains raider forSupergirl : adult female of Tomorrow # 2 !
InSupergirl : Woman of Tomorrow # 2 , DC acknowledge the current laughable iteration does n’t have much in rough-cut with the CW ’s Girl of Steel while offering an in - population account that uphold their connection . It ’s been well documented thatDC Rebirth ’s version of Supergirl was intemperately work by Melissa Benoist ’s portrayal . In the comics , Kara Zor - El ’s Earth parent took the family name Danvers from the show , along with Supergirl being base in National City and her appearance resembling Melissa Benoist . But now theInfinite Frontierera of continuityis here , and Kara is n’t so recognizable to fans of the show .
Although there are clear tributes to past iterations - for illustration , Supergirl just manifested Linda Danvers ' sainted wing from Gary Frank and Peter David ’s run - author Tom King is intransigent that his and Bilquis Evely ’s version of Supergirl is signify to get to who she is at her sum . In hisinterview with Screen Rant , Tom Kingsaid,“She ’s alter dramatically in the last 10 year , between descend back to life to the New 52 to Rebirth . … There ’s so much there , and I just wanted to take all that stuff off and get to the core of the fibre ; get her out of her normal environments and her normal battle . “King went on to say that Supergirl deserves to be a column of the DC Universe , expressing a desire to return to Otto Binder ’s original visual sensation by loot away more recent re - imaginings of the fictional character .

InSupergirl : fair sex of Tomorrow # 2by Tom King and Bilquis Evely , Supergirl is name as"a cleaning woman of disparate qualities who bent her own sense of self to check the situation"by Ruthye . It ’s entail that it ’s in Kara ’s nature to accommodate to societal situation , represent the persona that will be most welcome while honoring her core principles . This allows King and Evely ’s Kara to be a more uncompromising physical body in the natural state of space without needs rejectingMelissa Benoist ’s line drawing . For instance , when Ruthye is threatened while interacting with an alien aboard a place bus , Kara knock it unconscious with no hesitation . This is something that Melissa Benoist ’s version of Supergirl would never do , and yet this social chameleon justification makes it clear that under different luck , Kara would n’t be so agile to get physical .
The CW ’s Supergirl is more contained and less brash in her action , while the Kara ofSupergirl : Woman of Tomorrowis struggling with her role as a hero and acts as more of a cowboy - case loner ( fitting , given how the story draw clearinspiration from account likeTrue Grit.)As with any comical hero , there is no one right way to understand the Girl of Steel , even as there require to be some core value that determine the type beyond just her costume . Kara is an intricate individual , and it ’s as reasonable to re - think her as other comic heroes like Batman and Superman , but it ’s also necessary for certain qualities to bridge the break between iterations .
Supergirl : Woman of Tomorrowoffers the theme that Kara ’s power to be"many things to many people"is heart and soul to her case , but it also draws a unmortgaged distinction between being able-bodied to correct to different situations and being a people pleaser - Kara fits the state of affairs not because she lacks personality , but because it ’s part of who she is . There are so manydifferent iterations of Supergirlwith differ traits , but King and Evely ’s viewpoint ultimately strengthens the estimation that many versions of Supergirl can be valid while still working as loop of the same case . Melissa Benoist ’s Supergirl is n’t the type to lash out at an exotic aggressor , but in the depths of existential crisis , protect a minor in the wilds of blank , and chasing a baddie who just fatally hurt her dog , she ’d likely adopt the disposal that allowed her to survive , so long as it did n’t compromise her heroic nonpareil . Ultimately , if King and Evely are hop to returnSupergirlto her ascendent in a way that has a long-lasting core on the character , this is exactly the variety of via media that ’s needed to keep fans of other versions onboard , including butnot confine to the CW ’s rendering .
