Good News: A Supergirl movie!

Bad News: It is based on Loeb and Turner's origin story of headdesk-ness.

SO MANY MIXED FEELINGS YOU GUYS.

Well, at least I'm psyched.

There's reason enough to be excited - Bruce Timm did well with her in the animated series - but the story they're adapting... we will see. I just hope hope hope the character design isn't based too closely on Turner's work.

And then, perhaps if this does well enough, Kara would be considered to frontline a movie sometime? That would be nifty.

Most of the DC animated titles have been pretty good so far, at least? Sigh.

I like that they changed the name (and, from what I can tell from that blurb, focus) from "The Supergirl from Krypton" to "Apocalypse." By which I mean: *sigh*

Fingers crossed, I guess?

This article doesn't answer the most important question: will Stargirl show up?

Also, what is it with DC and Firefly actors: Steve Trevor was Nathan Fillion, Super-Woman was Gina Torres, and now Supergirl is Summer Glau.
