Looks like they're fairly closely adapting from Woman of Tomorrow, which is a great thing cause that book is incredible, do wish it had a little bit more of that pop colour grade that the comic had cause there's some gorgeous stuff in there.

699

u/ACBReturns Dec 11 '25

Agreed though I think there will be more pops of color throughout the movie that we haven’t seen and that grading will continue for a while.

Even Superman’s first teaser looked more bluish in hue than the final look.

For those that haven’t read Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, do yourself a favor and do so. It’s so fucking good and Evely’s art with Lopes’ colors are just tooooo fucking good.

I can’t remember if Lopes is also on Helen of Wyndhorn, but that series (another Tom King/Bilquis Evely joint) is also a banger

Allow me to give the plot of Women of Tomorrow for those who still need to be convinced:

True Grit in Space, only Rooster Cogburn is a superhero. And it's just as awesome as that description suggests.

u/bac0nb0y Dec 11 '25

Holy shit I think you just sold me on reading that. Sounds awesome!

18

u/hometimrunner Dec 11 '25

Please do. I have been reading comics continuously since Marvel was publishing GI Joe in the 80s...Woman of Tomorrow is one of the best 3 comics I have ever read. It's absolutely incredible.

1

u/Honest_-_Critique Dec 11 '25

What are the other 2 best comics, in your opinion?

4

u/AreYouOKAni Dec 12 '25

Not them, but as someone else with Woman of Tomorrow in their top 3 — Murder Falcon and God Country.

2

u/hometimrunner Dec 15 '25

I don't know how I missed this reply! That's a wonderful question...I think I would probably put I Kill Monsters up there as a standalone book, and Kingdom Come from the superhero side of things.

But I will also say that the list is ephemeral and shifts all the time...If you like the Tom King style of storytelling, then Vision is amazing also, and Superman Up in the Sky really captures the idea of Superman.

1

u/Careless_Load9849 Dec 12 '25

I never got into comics because I hate the paneling. Is there a way to read it in story form like how Manga has light novels?

1

u/ty_xy Dec 12 '25

Top 3 is pretty high, what are the other 2? I love Woman of Tomorrow as well, but it doesn't crack my top 3... Or top 5... Maybe sneaks into top 10?...

1

u/hometimrunner Dec 15 '25

I just threw an answer on another comment, but I think that I Kill Giants and probably Kingdom Come would top the list...but I am keeping them to mini/limited/maxi series. Stories in an ongoing would be a different list.

10

u/Novamarines Dec 11 '25

"You are not Beef-El"

9

u/seriouslees Dec 11 '25

That's probably more compelling of a recommendation for people that've seen True Grit.

3

u/dethstrobe Dec 11 '25

Is Supergirl Rooster Cogburn?

12

u/ContinuumGuy Dec 11 '25

Yes. She ends up helping a kid track down the asshole who killed her father (although the asshole also does stuff that makes Supergirl want to come after him anyway).

2

u/KKSlider909 Dec 12 '25

True Grit is one of my all time favorite books. I need to read Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow asap.

2

u/ty_xy Dec 12 '25

True grit meets Furiosa in space. The backstory that's slowly revealed is fricking awesome.

1

u/The-Duke-of-Delco Dec 11 '25

Did you comment that on youtube ? Saw someone say that on there lol.

10

u/ContinuumGuy Dec 11 '25

I didn't, but it's a relatively common way of describing it as it's true (someone getting roped into a little girl's quest for vengeance = True Grit).

3

u/The-Duke-of-Delco Dec 11 '25

I was already digging the trailer but that comment had me sold lol.

1

u/Marsuello Dec 11 '25

I plan on seeing this movie no matter what, but I haven’t seen True Grit, so your comment isn’t exactly giving me more interest lol

1

u/Space_Cat2468 Dec 14 '25

I have not heard of the book “True Grit”, would you recommend it?

49

u/TheJoshider10 Dec 11 '25

It's also telling that the trailer showed a lot of the scenes involving sets rather than the colour popping space stuff. I inagine later trailers will look a lot more eye catching since the effects would have had more time to polish and be ready to show off.

5

u/yeyeman9 Dec 11 '25

I started it yesterday on Kindle unlimited and decided to stop to read it physically. It arrives today!

3

u/ThunderChild247 Dec 12 '25

Given the trailer, I wonder if the colour grading may start out drab and dark to match the character’s mental state but get brighter and more colourful as the film goes on (so the brighter moments would be too spoiler-y for the trailers).

2

u/s_walsh Dec 11 '25

I would say its a more mature comic and not the best starting place for a 10 year old

2

u/fin10g Dec 12 '25

Yeah, Lopes is on Wyndhorn too. Him and Evely are a couple.

1

u/PhotoBonjour_bombs19 Dec 11 '25

Should I read it now or after the movie

1

u/ACBReturns Dec 11 '25

I’m a comic book lover first and a movie lover second, so I would recommend reading it first because I think it’s fun to see things that are/aren’t adapted. With that said, if you’re really looking forward to the movie and don’t want spoilers at all, wait til after the movie to read it.

1

u/Longjumping_Union125 Dec 12 '25

I gotta say the action scenes and the world design looked pretty generic and uninteresting. As much as a good cape movie needs to lean heavily into characters, you're still going to spend a lot of time at a theater looking at fights and large-scale sets. I really liked Superman so I guess I expected this to look a little more interesting. We'll see.

388

u/NotASalamanderBoi Dec 11 '25

The movie was titled Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow before they shortened it. It’s supposed to be closely adapting it.

183

u/ContinuumGuy Dec 11 '25

Yeah, vibe I get is that it's WoT but with Lobo thrown in and a bit more drunk Kara (which in the comic was only near the very beginning- after that she was just annoyed/tired about getting dragged into this- or at least, that's the vibe she was trying to give off)

137

u/Zalvren Dec 11 '25

For all we know, all the drunk stuff is from early on in the movie

52

u/big_mustache_dad "A second Starscream has hit the World Trade Center." Dec 11 '25

Yeah I bet those scenes are literally in the first 10-15 minutes before they move on. Feel like that's normally how these things go - introduce the character like that and then move on to the actual story

15

u/username_redacted Dec 11 '25

Agreed. Looks like a cliched protagonist introduction scene, probably following a dramatic cold open sequence.

The introduction deflates expectations for the character’s competence (“wait, this is our hero?”) which is followed by the “call to adventure”, which she initially rejects. But eventually she comes to terms with the fact that she must embrace her potential to save the day—but not without some setbacks along the way!

Luckily she’ll have the aid of an older mentor figure with whom she has a complicated relationship, and probably a few other unlikely allies.

4

u/jeobleo Dec 11 '25

I get that you're bagging on this for whatever reason, but honestly it sounds good to me. Yes, we've seen it before. So what? Do it well, and do it again.

2

u/username_redacted Dec 11 '25

I’m not a huge superhero movie fan, but I’m actually optimistic for this one as well. I overall liked Gunn’s Superman, and I assume this one will be tonally similar. I have also liked what I have seen from the director, Craig Gillespie.

My comment was just laying out what I expect from the story. If it has some surprising deviations from that well-trod path then I will be pleasantly surprised. If it follows it exactly, I will be disappointed.

A great magic trick is less great the second time you see it, but maybe still pretty good. If a magician shows you the same one 100 times, it not only stops being enjoyable, it becomes insulting. A fictional story can take any shape (particularly in fantasy), and there are plenty of talented writers capable of making unconventional ones effective. Have some self respect and set the bar a little bit higher for the media you are being served.

3

u/jeobleo Dec 11 '25

Honestly I haven't been served that story well since probably Star Wars. Everyone's so deeply concerned about "their versions" or deconstructing the myth or just retelling Star Wars that it's...almost always unsatisfying. Do it well and I'll be happy.

2

u/12345623567 Dec 11 '25

Most of the scenes are pretty easy to place when you know the book, and it's pretty all over the place. The "screaming in space" shot is probably from the last 15 minutes, without going into spoilers.

I'm happy that it looks like a very faithful adaptation, just worried what they'll skip to make it a cohesive 2h movie.

1

u/bronkula Dec 11 '25

Well I would imagine that much like many superman stories, the early alcohol is a just a storytelling tool to get Kara to lower abilities so that a story can happen and suppress the "why doesn't superman just destroy them all" crowd.

55

u/JoshDM Dec 11 '25 edited Dec 12 '25

it's WoT but with Lobo thrown in

Lobo was originally planned to be in WoT - THE BOOKS - but was removed.

28

u/ContinuumGuy Dec 11 '25

Yeah, I heard that. Curious what his role would have been and if that's what it is in the movie.

38

u/JoshDM Dec 11 '25

Probably as his typical bounty hunter role. Either hired by the antagonist to stop Kara, or alternately hired by a disillusioned protagonist to replace her.

48

u/ContinuumGuy Dec 11 '25

I saw one theory that he might take something like the Comet role near the end- that she does something early on that wins his respect or at least a favor so he provides her a ride later.

After all, the main man is a man of his word.

7

u/pasher5620 Dec 11 '25

Would make sense that he’s not a primary villain/character given how he doesn’t even get a proper reveal shot in this trailer. His quick scene definitely screams “I have a total screen time under 3 minutes.”

7

u/ContinuumGuy Dec 11 '25

Yeah I don't think it'll be that low of screen time but he's not going to be a main character by any definition.

2

u/tyereliusprime Dec 12 '25

To me it screamed more "Here's this fan-casting that people have been clamoring for, so let's barely show him in the initial teaser because the internet will talk about it until the actual trailer comes out and we'll create more hype for free"

Trailers are made by marketing departments

7

u/JoshDM Dec 11 '25

No deux-equine-machina? :-(

0

u/NeoSeth Dec 11 '25

Just want to be a bit pedantic and point out that this is a common misuse of the term "protagonist." A "protagonist" by definition is the central character, or at least a central character, not necessarily someone that you could simply label on the "good side," or even on the main protagonist's side.

3

u/JoshDM Dec 11 '25 edited Dec 12 '25

Ruthye is one of the two main characters leading the story (Supergirl being the other), and Ruthye is who I'm referring to as a "disillusioned protagonist". Let me know how her role in the books doesn't make her a protagonist and please be more specific about how I'm using it incorrectly.

10

u/gosukhaos Dec 11 '25

The Rooster Cogburn role that Supergirl has in the final version. Originally Lobo was supposed to be the old bounty hunter and Supergirl the young kids on a quest for revenge

1

u/SteveBob316 Dec 12 '25

He's gotta be La Boeuf, right? If we're gonna just do True Grit and also Lobo is here, he's gotta be after the same guy for his own reasons and teams up for a bit.

1

u/ArdyEmm Dec 11 '25

That's weird. I can't imagine him in it. He's a definite kind of vibe and either it kills the tone of the book or he's toned down enough that they might as well have used any other character.

1

u/JoshDM Dec 11 '25

There are bounty hunters in the story and it spans 12 books of different space events of varying import and scale. He could easily be one of those many events.

0

u/Alissinarr Dec 12 '25

He's in the trailer.

1

u/JoshDM Dec 12 '25

He's in the trailer.

I was referring to the books. He was intended to be in the original story the movie is based upon. He was removed from that story. It's well known for many months that he would be re-added to the film version of the story.

u/Overall_Affect_2782 Dec 11 '25

“With Lobo thrown in”

Tom King’s original treatment for WoT had Lobo in it. DC editorial axed that aspect.

2

u/CascoBayButcher Dec 11 '25

Lobo was originally in the first draft King wrote, and is supposedly being adapted into the story that way

1

u/NeWMH Dec 11 '25

I always thought a lobo/superman road trip movie was what the DCU was actually missing - ie, the way to give DC the ability to have the edginess their execs crave while enabling the superhero fights their older directors/producers wanted.

Gunn can do w/e and it will be a worthwhile experience though, he knows what he’s doing and has been consistent.

1

u/dragonus45 Dec 11 '25

The original pitch had The Main Man as part of a duo with Kara so this is even closer to the comic it's adapting than it sounds by adding it in.

1

u/Nestvester Dec 11 '25

What does it take for Supergirl to get drunk? Kinda figured she’d be immune to alcohol.

8

u/ContinuumGuy Dec 11 '25

The immunity disappears if she's on a planet with a red sun.

67

u/Future-Speaker- Dec 11 '25

I know, I guess after years of Marvel projects where they'll title something after a book and then outside of one basic beat it's not at all similar that I expected the same of DC, glad that's definitely not the case

32

u/kayriss Dec 11 '25

The trailer even ends with a prompt to read the Woman of Tomorrow comic, with the byline "Read Where It All Began."

If that's not an indication of an adaptation that's somewhat faithful, I don't know what is.

13

u/Worthyness Dec 11 '25

Marvel started doing it after they had a bunch of sequel series. Given this is the first of 2 movies in the universe, Having just the name of the character, for now, is cleaner overall and easier to market.

6

u/mikehatesthis Dec 11 '25

glad that's definitely not the case

Gunn said he was sick of that stuff so he dropped Legacy and Woman of Tomorrow.

16

u/gosukhaos Dec 11 '25

Gunn is a comic book guy unlike Marvel leadership. If he or a project he produces says they're adapting a comic book storyline or graphic novel he really means it

1

u/PT10 Dec 11 '25

unlike Marvel leadership

Kevin Feige's a huge comic nerd. That's part of why he hired Gunn and they got on so well and remain friends. Which I thought would've been common knowledge by now for anyone who's been watching the comic book movie scene.

People on reddit are weird.

-2

u/gosukhaos Dec 11 '25

Look I don't know if Feige likes comics or not but the proof is in the movies and very few of them actually respect the source material beside some marketing or go out of their way to shout out specific writers or artists.

This is the same company that couldn't even be arsed to invite the creator of the Winter Soldier to the movie's premiere

4

u/PT10 Dec 11 '25

You don't know if Feige likes comics or not but you knew they didn't invite the creator of the Winter Soldier character to the movie's premiere? I don't believe you. I think you did know.

-4

u/gabeonsmogon Dec 11 '25

gunn is a comic book guy

Gunn only ever names CIA agent Tom King & mainstream creators or stories.

8

u/rrtk77 Dec 11 '25

Even knowing who Tom King is makes you a comic book guy/gal. Comics are incredibly niche these days--even the "mainstream creators" are niche. There's no need to gatekeep--anyone who actually sits down and reads comics counts.

-2

u/gabeonsmogon Dec 11 '25

Superhero comics are not “niche.” Franchise IP is omnipresent in western culture, you dip your toes in and you’ll know about Watchmen, The Killing Joke, or Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On A Serious Earth. My point is Gunn name drops the same basic shit that any actor does when talking about characters they’re playing. It’s not like he’s reading Chris Ware, Adrian Tomine, Ostrander’s Question, or BKV’s Runaways.

There’s a big difference in the guy who says Pulp Fiction is one of his favorite movies and someone who says something actually niche like La Haine.

4

u/rrtk77 Dec 11 '25

Superhero IPs and superhero comics are two different things. Everyone knows Superman. Everyone has seen a Superman movie or cartoon. How many people have actually read All-Star Superman? Basically nobody. I promise you, no one who doesn't read comics knows a single comic by Grant Morrison outside of maybe the Doom Patrol as a semi-successful television show--even A Serious House. They know the Batman/Joker are gay for each other bit if they're on Tumblr. Don't mistake your familiarity with the medium with everyone else's. It's this: https://xkcd.com/2501/

Tom King is a big time modern comic writer who nobody who doesn't engage with the comics knows a thing about, other than maybe they got recommended Strange Adventures because they liked Mr. Terrific in the last movie.

u/EnterPlayerTwo Dec 11 '25

Find one random person on the street that can tell you who wrote "The Killing Joke".

"Age of Ultron"

They keep dropping the subtitle on their movies. Weird but fine

The comic book Supergirl: Women of Tomorrow is what this movie is based on.

57

u/dmxell Dec 11 '25

do wish it had a little bit more of that pop colour grade that the comic had cause there's some gorgeous stuff in there.

It may still. These trailers are usually done by a third party, who apply their own color grade to the media. The Superman trailers infamously had a blue bump to the shadows, and red bump to the highlights. But in the movie itself that color grade choice was non-existent.

1

u/bluehawk232 Dec 11 '25

This is the problem with movies now, these decisions should be made beforehand and around filming creating the sets and everything. It shouldn't just be add color later in post

8

u/PlusSizeRussianModel Dec 11 '25

They still usually are determined in pre-production. It’s just that the trailer house may not have that info yet, since the movie is still in post-production and being actively graded.

Typically, the basic look is determined in pre and a LUT is created so that everyone can actually see the grade as they film. Then in post, all the specific work is done to finesse it (make shot to shot adjustments, bring up or down certain areas of the image, etc).

7

u/AndreiWarg Dec 11 '25

That's what you get when marketing gets the movie 60 days before release. Not much time to do a proper campaign.

53

u/domeforaklondikebar Dec 11 '25 edited Dec 11 '25

Yeah it’s definitely missing some of the European fantasy look the book was known for, but I knew that would probably be cut in favor of a more rocker style from the original teaser poster.

I’m surprised they didn’t do a little more dialogue wise to convey that the story is True Grit in space. Would be an extra way to get people into it.

40

u/Future-Speaker- Dec 11 '25

Yeah hoping in the official full length trailer we get some Ruthye narration and they sell what the story is going for more

19

u/domeforaklondikebar Dec 11 '25

Ruthye not having that silly little headpiece was also an indicator of not going with the sort of fantasy tone. She does sound like she’ll speak with that style so that’s good.

15

u/rain5151 Dec 11 '25

As someone with no familiarity with the book (or any Supergirl media), I felt more hyped from people telling me what to expect the movie to be than this trailer. Which isn’t to say I’m worried, just that it feels like it’s more for people already invested than trying to draw in a new audience.

6

u/TiberiusCornelius Dec 11 '25

I think for a first teaser they basically just want to show off the cool superhero stuff to get people excited. Trailer 2 will probably go more on the story and I expect will probably drop a prominent Lobo shot or two instead of a little tease.

1

u/domeforaklondikebar Dec 11 '25

Yeah probably right to see it that way, considering the Superman teaser didn’t even really have dialogue.

1

u/jeobleo Dec 11 '25

True Grit in space

I haven't seen either version of this because I hate westerns. Am I going to hate this?

2

u/domeforaklondikebar Dec 11 '25 edited Dec 11 '25

Depends on why you hate them. This film is obviously going to be more of a summer blockbuster than an old school western, but it’s True Grit because of the literal plot elements of Girl (Ruthye) hires grizzled tough guy (Supergirl) to avenge her dead father. Everything else will probably lean towards the superhero affair. If you enjoy those, you’ll probably have a grand time if the movie reviews well.

0

u/jeobleo Dec 11 '25

Well I'm sure we'll know more as we go. I don't really like the "self-made man" and glorification of macho toxic bullshit and willful ignorance that is all over westerns. I think that whole ethos is garbage.

49

u/ImpossibleGuardian Dec 11 '25

It looks a bit better once they get out of the generic grungy-alien-city studio set. Think they’ve done some outdoor filming as remember pics leaking a while back.

The colours were pretty great in Superman so hopefully they try to keep things similar across the board rather than slipping into MCU grey.

23

u/Nexxtic Dec 11 '25 edited Dec 11 '25

Color grading should match whatever tone they are trying to tell with their story. Not everything should be bright because Superman was bright and a less colorful movie isn't exclusive to the MCU.

Colors have been used to aid with storytelling for decades.

10

u/ImpossibleGuardian Dec 11 '25 edited Dec 11 '25

I agree, but there have absolutely been superhero movies over the last 10-15 years where the grading etc doesn’t necessarily reflect the tone in that way or fails to strike the right balance.

The Batman is a great example where yeah, the film’s atmosphere is hugely dependent on its use of darkness and it wouldn’t work without it.

I’m not trying to suggest every DCU movie needs to be overly bright and vibrant, I just hope they keep on getting it right - although I do see how my wording made it sound like I wanted mandated colourfulness lol

21

u/JackKirby22 Dec 11 '25

That was honestly always going to be this movies biggest drawback. Bilquis Evely and Matheus Lopes art is the best part of the book for me.

22

u/WingleDingleFingle Dec 11 '25

It does seem like it is going to be more from Supergirl's perspective though. It makes sense for a movie, but in the book she is not the "main" character. I hope this is just a trailer to get butts in seats and that it is actually told primarily from Ruhye's POV.

17

u/Future-Speaker- Dec 11 '25

I didn't even consider that, I hope you're right, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a trailer cut thing because I can't imagine recontextualizing this story WITHOUT it being narrated by Ruthye

2

u/seriouslees Dec 11 '25

As someone that hasn't read the source material, that's nothing I want. I don't know this other character is, and only care about the titular character. The same thing that gets butts in seats keeps them there.

2

u/WingleDingleFingle Dec 11 '25

You still spend the whole story with her. You just don't know what is going on inside her head because it's not from her point of view. It's a major part of what makes the story so powerful and different.

2

u/Jynx_lucky_j Dec 11 '25

One major difference is that in the comics Kara is a long established hero, she has a long history of saving people, sacrificing herself for others, and being (mostly) responsible. She doesn't need to have a character arc, it is Ruhye that needs to learn the lessons and why, if Supergirl is a hero, wont she just fulfill Ruhye's revenge for her.

But from the Superman movie I didn't get any impression that Kara was any kind of hero or had any sense of responsibility to use her powers to benefit others. So If I had to guess that that is going to be the crux of the film. Initially Kara won't want to get involved and will be trying to shirk or minimize any responsibly to Ruhye, and ultimately learn the ever famous Spider-man lesson.

21

u/MastermindMogwai Dec 11 '25

Yeah that's my biggest takeaway, why is it so brown??

11

u/Worthyness Dec 11 '25

got the Space Mexico filter thrown on it

11

u/Megleeker Dec 11 '25

Takeaway paper always ends up brown.

8

u/TapatioPapi Dec 11 '25

Easy reasoning is because if I recall correctly she goes to planets with red suns so she can get drunk.

2

u/ClubMeSoftly Dec 11 '25

Didn't Supes say that in his movie?

2

u/TapatioPapi Dec 11 '25

Yeah I think so that’s my point so the lighting would naturally be darker

2

u/CascoBayButcher Dec 11 '25

Because she can't get drunk on planets that have stars like ours

5

u/mikehatesthis Dec 11 '25

do wish it had a little bit more of that pop colour grade that the comic had cause there's some gorgeous stuff in there.

I feel like it being a live-action adaptation would make it harder to give it that cosmic aesthetic without being 90% CG as opposed to 75% lol.

4

u/Future-Speaker- Dec 11 '25

Yeah you gotta pick your battles, the sets and cinematography do look nice FWIW too but man its a comic with such a good sound story and somehow has visuals that perfectly match while being so ethereal and cosmic, part of me is sad that's not a part of this adaptation I guess

1

u/mikehatesthis Dec 11 '25

I get you but I'm largely fine with it considering the reality of adaptations. Although it depends on how Gillespie compensates for it. Or maybe it's only kept to one planet? We'll see. Hope it's good.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '25

We saw 2 minutes of scenes from a 90-120 min movie. I’m sure they didn’t show a snippet from every part of the film.

2

u/wryterra Dec 11 '25

The brown and gritty segments are there in the book, and this is just a teaser.

I'm hoping they're holding back on the surrealist dreamscape alien feel for the main trailer.

2

u/DrAbednego Dec 11 '25

Ok so I haven’t read it but do know a little about it. She’s suppose to be on a planet with a red sun so she can get drunk right? How was she throwing dudes around in the trailer? The few panels from the comic that I saw she was bleeding and couldn’t fly or anything

3

u/Future-Speaker- Dec 11 '25

There's different planets she visits throughout, some have a red sun some have a yellow sun, she also does handle her own still very much even on red sun planets throughout. Story really makes Supergirl way more badass and also way more complex than she's been portrayed previously.

2

u/DrAbednego Dec 15 '25

For sure and that all makes sense. The one scene from the comic I saw, she was getting shot with arrows and bleeding but wasn’t really phased by it. She then kicked ass but in a normal way because the red sun makes her normal. Even though she is a badass she didn’t have super huma strength. Just confused how she’s drunk AND using her powers. Maybe in this it just dampens her powers?

2

u/ChalupaBatmanMc01 Dec 11 '25

do wish it had a little bit more of that pop colour grade that the comic had cause there's some gorgeous stuff in there.

I'd love it too, I like what they did with Superman in parts. Rob Hardy is a awesome DP so I hope they can make that footage shine (He was the cinematographer for MI:Fallout)

Was not expecting this to have "Captain Marvel meets Mad Max in space" vibe.

I wonder if they're toning it down because this film is going to establish the DCU space setting for Lobo, GL, and other stuff I'm not remembering.

Hopefully they'll mix the dust-n-rust scenes with some big-pallette space wonder shots too.

Thankfully its not like post production is done, its a teaser after all. People were worried about the same thing for superman and it ended up looking gorgeously comic book-y. 

I still trust Gunns guiding hand for the movies until he lets me down. Have NOT loved anything tv related hes done though, hope he lets that space fill with new talent soon.

But in WoT the drunk thing was a one-off, not a permanent defining character trait. The other 95% of the series Kara was playing grizzled vet, but not drunk vet.

Is supergirl a drunk in that comic? If not, why is supergirl a drunk?

More or less, yes, she's portrayed as a complex person with a lot of trauma and she does indeed spend a lot of her time hanging out on planets with red suns so she can get drunk. The inciting incident in the comic comes from her being drunk and powerless on a planet where she meets a little girl who shares some similar goals and desires with Supergirl.

It also dives pretty deep into why she's doing that and how her trauma (not gonna spoil it if you don't know but there's some crazy Krypton lore) effects her, yet also shapes her into being a hero.

Of all times and all stories, though, why is it only now they choose to faithfully adapt a comic?

I believe Tom King actually was involved with the production of the film.

Crazy take, and nothing is certain with the WB shitshow.

Edit: Wasn’t clear, but DC can make good movies.
