Supergirl (Craig Gillespie, June 26, 2026) Movie

This could be a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to seeing this treatment.

 

Uh, let’s go!!!!!!

 

Great poster.

 

looking forward to this one

 

Looks like a slight redesign on her suit vs the one in Superman.

 

on board

 

He may not be the greatest filmmaker or the most clever comedy writer but Gunn (and his influence over the tone and marketing of the emerging DCU) knows how to cut through the noise of movie making and production and deliver fun. I wish Marvel took his approach to just doing what is clear and fun while letting each director do their thing because so much of what is in Marvel movies/shows these days is the unfun, obligatory parts of production and creation.

 

Guess Lex Luthor got the white-collar <jail treatment> after Superman (2025)

 

I can’t believe I’m excited for these movies again

 

I don’t care for the comic this is taking most of its inspiration from, but I’m still pretty excited to see this. Milly Alcock seems like she’ll be a pretty fun Supergirl.

 

What comic is it getting inspo from I wanna read.

 

Woman of Tomorrow, which I thought was brilliant.

 

I quit reading WoT around the halfway point and haven’t returned yet. Probably will sometime next year?

Some very pretty Bilquis Evely art, and some of the story hook is solid, but it just feels so overwritten. Tom King’s narration is such a fucking slog to get through, lol, like girl, shut up.



Hopefully Ana Nogueira and Craig Gillespie made the movie work better. Really dig the few Gillespie films I’ve seen.

 

Say no more…I got your “Super” delivery coming

 

You got my address and now are doing toooo much! Hhaahah, you're the best

 

Haha so wholesome

 

So, I’m “SUPER”?

 

tim. i know you have mixed feelings about tom king. but you haven't even finished the book yet??? maybe you're the one who needs to shut up lolol

(tbf, everything i've heard about his wonder woman run has been negative)

anyway idk gillespie off the top of my head but looking up his work i thought cruella was really fun

 

I might try reading through that Supergirl run over the next week or two and see how I feel about it. I've never read a Supergirl comic in general, but am curious for the upcoming film

 

I liked Tom King's Batman run but I'm in the minority I think. I don't mind his verboseness. So I am excited.

 

have you read batman/catwoman? i'm interested in getting that bc it's an elseworlds (i think?) and andrea beaumont from mask of the phantasm is in it

 

I haven't, it's on a list to check out at some point.

 

Boooooo.

My hangup with the comic is the scripting more than the plotting. And, I think 3-4 issues (forget the exact place I paused) is enough pages to have a take, lol. I was just talking to a couple people recently who liked the comic a lot more than I did, and they generally agreed that the narration dragged; one of ‘em said he had to start skimming/skipping a lot of it.

I’m hit or miss on that run, but what I’ve read of it (up until shortly before the “wedding,” plus a couple other stray issues) is better than the half of WoT I’ve read, imo.

The most I’ve liked a King comic is Mister Miracle, and I think some of that is Tom’s synergy with Mitch Gerads leading to less text. His scripting doesn’t have the life that, say, Chris Claremont’s does, so I like him best when he’s comfortable pulling way back and letting the art tell the story.
