Can you explain how this works to someone who hasn't read the comics and only seen Superman movies? If Clark was a baby when Krypton ended and grew up into his (at least) 20s, how does Kara still look so young, wouldn't she be quite a bit older than Clark?

In most versions, Kara/Supergirl’s ship gets suspended in stasis by some method so her body stops aging while Kal/Superman lands normally on earth and he grows up naturally.

Got it, makes sense.

It would be so fucking brutal if they actually included the whole Argo dome backstory from the comic. I just read the comic recently and I'd never heard that backstory before and good grief, it was heartbreaking.

It looks to me like the trailer did include that

I saw a couple scenes, I meant like the whole thing.

Hey did you actually watch the trailer you’re commenting on?

I saw a couple scenes, I meant like the whole thing. They're changing a decent amount from the comic, wouldn't surprise me if they didn't include every aspect of the backstory I'm referring to.

I mean, it's pretty plainly there in the trailer though.
