Supergirl was a surprising addition to The Flash’s multiversal adventure. Sasha Calle’s interpretation of the character is something guaranteed to divide audiences. With her limited screen time, fans will wonder about her DCU future. Some will be divided by her stoic performance in The Flash. Others will find that stoicism is a strength in the introduction of the character. Calle’s portrayal focused on a subtlety that was unexpected from audiences. That subtlety made her debut pack a powerful impression.
She had a sensation of anger from the first moment she appeared. Kara Zor-El is a character tormented by losing Krypton and her cousin Kal to Zod. She lost faith in humanity, making her fueled with rage. Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) and Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) proved that humanity was worth fighting for. They reignited a sense of hope that was sorely missing in Kara Zor-El. Her newfound purpose proves she is the best choice for the DCU’s Supergirl.
