Though we’ve known for years that the DC Universe’s Supergirl is getting her own, Milly Alcock made a surprise cameo as the Girl of Steel this past summer in the 2025 movie release of Superman. Our brief moment spent with her teased that Kara Zor-El has a harder edge than her cousin Kal-El/Clark Kent, which we’ll see the full extent of when Supergirl flies onto the 2026 movies schedule. But is Superman actually more powerful than Superman, or is it the other way around? That’s a question I looked into after falling down a rabbit hole on social media.
Now Superman's available to stream with an HBO Max subscription, I stumbled across an Instagram post where people were joking that the “real” plot of the movie is how Clark was actually trying to save Lex Luthor’s life by rescuing Krypto before Kara found out, since it turned out that was her dog. That would indicate that Kara would have no trouble beating Lex within an inch of his life, if not kill him, which Clark would definitely not condone.
