The new Superman movie is officially a hit, and it seems the future of the new DC Cinematic Universe is very much in motion. It’s been a long time coming, and it’s also been a while since a superhero film franchise relaunch felt like it was actually going to stick. Not only will the story of the new DCU continue in Peacemaker Season 2 on August 21, but also with Lanterns sometime in early 2026.
And yet, the most direct sequel to the new Superman is the 2026 film Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock in the title role. We met this version of Kara Zor-El during the coda of the new Superman and learned that, yes, as Superman’s cousin, she is a party girl and the actual owner of Krypto the Superdog. However, one big change to the Superman mythos actually creates a confusing bit of continuity for the upcoming Supergirl movie. In short, just how limited is Clark’s knowledge of Kryptonian culture? And to what extent does Supergirl share in his ignorance?
