Often times with superhero movies, their plots take inspiration from a variety of different stories from the comics, like how 2022’s The Batman pulled from Batman: Year One, Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Ego. In the case of Supergirl, however, it’s primarily adapting the miniseries Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which was written by Tom King and illustrated by Bilquis Evely. This 2026 movie release even shared the same title as that comic book initially.
Now, that doesn’t mean Supergirl will be a completely faithful adaptation of Woman of Tomorrow, which I recently read for the first time. That’s most evidenced by the involvement of Jason Momoa’s Lobo, who did not appear in the miniseries. However, assuming that this upcoming DC movie is hitting most of the main beats from its source material, then there’s one moment in particular I hope we see in it.
