Supergirl Season 2: What’s In The Pod?

KryptonSite asks about this season’s Supergirl cliffhanger.

Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 6.15.17 PM Now that the Supergirl season finale has aired on the East Coast, we have some questions. The biggest, of course, is “When are we going to find out about Supergirl Season 2?”

We’re assuming that’ll happen so the next order of business is wondering what it is that came to Earth in a pod much like Kara’s. Here are some guesses on our end:

Krypto: A Superdog. But do we really need a Superdog on TV? We’re pet lovers here, but that might be kind of anticlimactic.

Power Girl: What if a Supergirl from another Earth came through on a pod like Kara’s? If not the adult Power Girl, maybe “another” Kara who looks like her younger self?

Superboy: Because why not? We think his story will be saved for Cadmus, though.

Jeremiah Danvers: An adult probably can’t fit in the ship, but maybe some Kryptonians kept it for safe-keeping of some sort.

A Message: What if there’s not a being in there, but another message or collection of messages from Krypton, warning of a Season 2 threat?

What do you think it was? Leave comments below or come post on our Supergirl forum over the summer! Individual episode discussion for “Better Angels” can be found here.

I think it will be either her mom or dad or maybe someone who survived from krypton or it could be some kind of device to help kara

So why did they report hiring a “young Clark Kent” sometime around mid season and then not use him?? Will he be used for season 2 without them even getting an official order?

  They did, in “For The Girl Who Has Everything.” It’s just outlets (including this one, unfortunately) made a bigger deal out of it than it needed to be.

It needn’t be from another universe. Kara and her pod could have been quantum duplicated while in the Phantom Zone, and this is literally her again.

When I watched live I thought it was Zor-El only because in the Post-Flashpoint continuity in the comics he was the villain Cyborg Superman. The only reason against that is I think they are setting Jeremiah Danvers up to be Cyborg Superman.

I think it is her Mother in the pod. And Jeremiah danvers is Kal El.. Hence the messaging.

First off Candor was a city from Krypton. I think it might be H’-El who tried to destroy the earths sun with the help of the Kryptonian power source now in the hands of the Gov’t and Max Lord, to go back in time to stop the destruction Krypton

Supergirl actresses Laura Vandervoort, Melissa Benoist, Sasha Calle, and Helen Slater are included in a retrospective featurette on The Flash Blu-ray.

One of the rare good elements from the recent Flash movie was the inclusion of Sasha Calle as Supergirl, and now, we can revisit her and a few old Supergirl favorites, as Laura Vandervoort (Smallville), Melissa Benoist (Supergirl TV series from The CW & CBS), and Helen Slater (movies’ original Supergirl) are all included on a featurette on The Flash movie home release. These are all new interviews with the actresses, and in some cases, these are their first interviews about the character in years. The title of the featurette is “Supergirl: The Last Daughter of Krypton.”

Although a Twitter/X report from “Sennaverse” on Twitter notes that the documentary can be found on the MAX streaming service, we have had no luck finding it there so far. The featurette is included, however, with purchase of The Flash movie on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD. The set is due for release on Tuesday, August 29. You can purchase that here and support KryptonSite if you wish!

We’re looking forward to seeing these new interviews and spotlight on the Woman of Tomorrow!

New Superman & Supergirl Movies Announced

James Gunn and Peter Safran have announced new Supergirl and Superman movie projects.

New DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran have announced two new movies that will make Super-fans take notice. One is a new Superman film titled Superman: Legacy and it will be out in 2025; the other is based on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book series.

Scheduled for July 11, 2025, Superman: Legacy will be written by James Gunn and the hope is that he will also direct it. “t’s not an origin story. It focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. Superman represents truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks of kindness as old fashioned,” Peter Safran said during the announcement.

“With our stories, we want to take it away from good guy vs. bad guy. There are really good—almost saintly—people and Superman is among them. There are really terrible villains like Gorilla Grodd or the Joker. And then there’s everybody in between them, so there are all these shades of gray which allow us to tell complex stories,” Gunn added.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is based on the comic book miniseries by Tom King. “In our story, we have Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by incredibly loving parents. Kara was on Krypton. She was on a piece of Krypton that drifted away from the planet and she lived there for the first fourteen years of her life in a horrible situation where she watched everyone around her die. So, she’s a much harsher and more f*cked up Supergirl than you’ve been used to thus far,” Gunn promises.

No word yet on if the movie projects will affect TV, but they have expressed a desire to fully tie in the TV and the movies. See DC Studios’ TV plans here.

Supergirl actress Nicole Maines is introducing Dreamer in a Superman: Son of Kal-El comic book she is writing

The Supergirl character of Nia Nal a.k.a. “Dreamer” has appeared in a DC Pride comic before, but now she is coming to the DC Universe proper with a special upcoming issue of the acclaimed Superman: Son of Kal-El comic book with a particularly special co-writer: Nicole Maines herself!

Maines will be co-writing Superman: Son of Kal-El #13 with series writer Tom Taylor. The issue hits comic book stores on July 12, 2022.

“I’m so excited to work with Nicole Maines to bring Dreamer from the screen to the pages of Superman: Son of Kal-El and to the DC Comics Universe,” said Tom Taylor. “I want to thank all the people at DC who have championed Dreamer and who recognize the importance of this powerful trans superhero in this time.”

“Jon Kent and Nia Nal are two characters that have a lot in common, both as superheroes with the weight of the world on their shoulders, and as young people with impossibly big shoes to fill,” Nicole Maines added. “Weaving their stories together for Superman: Son of Kal-El with Tom was a complete pleasure, and there is only a little pun intended when I say that Superman and Dreamer make for a brilliant new Dream-Team.”

Here’s a teaser for the issue:

It’s the dramatic DC Universe debut of Dreamer! When every hero on Earth is threatened by Henry Bendix’s machinations, it’s a race against time for Dreamer to warn Superman before it happens! But will this mysterious new ally’s premonition become a nightmare for Jonathan Kent?

Superman: Son of Kal-El #13 will be available at local comic shops on July 12, 2022.
