After Superman: Legacy dropped the 'Legacy', Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has changed its title because James Gunn is "sick of the superhero title, colon, other-name thing"

Milly Alcock as Supergirl.

Supergirl is no longer called Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and DC boss James Gunn has a pretty good reason for making the cut.

"I think it’s just called Supergirl," Gunn told Rolling Stone when asked about the film's title, as well as dropping the 'Legacy' from Superman. "I’m always cutting. 'Legacy' was really – we do something called a premortem. A premortem is you get together with your group that’s doing the project. It’s usually about a couple months before shooting, and you go, hypothetically, 'If it’s an epic disaster, what are the things that we’re doing today that are going to cause it to be an epic disaster? Everyone here can speak freely.'"
