DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

How do Kryptonians manage personal grooming on Earth, anyway, if their hair and nails aren't made of keratin? Do their hair and nails grow? Let's assume that they must. What does Supergirl do if she decides she needs a brazilian? How does she shave her legs? How does Superman shave and get his hair cut? Perhaps there is some established canon that answers these questions...
A mirror and heat vision. (Seriously - in the comics anyway) ;)
 
Kara could use the same principle to shave her legs, but it would be more complicated.
She wouldn't need to. She can see her legs without a mirror and just use her heat vision. Clark needs the mirror because it's his face. He can't see it without the mirror and I don't think heat vision bends at a 180° angle.
 
Well nothing bends at a 180° angle as it's pretty straight. :p
It's called a straight angle because, if you draw it, it looks like a straight line. It actually turns and goes in the opposite direction. A zero angle continues along, in a line, in the same direction.
 
Yeah, given that the DCEU changed Aquaman from being a blond white guy to being a brown-haired Hawaiian, gave Lois Lane red hair and made Perry White a black man, I don’t see why they’d cast a Latina actress and change her colouring.

As I said before, Latinx is not a biological category but a geographical and cultural one. It refers to people from Latin America, i.e. anywhere south of the Rio Grande (and a lot of people north of it too). There are Latinx people who are naturally blonde, just as there are Latinx people who are of African or Asian descent. Heck, there's a fair-sized population in northern Brazil descended from German immigrants. They're Latinx, because Brazil is part of Latin America, but they're as blonde and pale as they come.

Of course, there's no reason they couldn't change Supergirl's hair color if they wanted, but it's not like they'd have to. If Jessica Alba could play a blonde Sue Storm, then Sasha Calle could play a blonde Supergirl.

She'd have to be really flexible to get the backs of her legs that way.

But Superman isn't the vertex of the angle, the reflective surface is. If Superman shoots a beam out of his eyes and it reflects at a 180° angle it will continue on in a straight line, if he shoots a beam and it reflects at a 0° (or 360°) angle it will hit him right back in the eye.

I don't agree. Unless I'm forgetting something from geometry class, I'd say that the reflection would be defined as the amount of change from the beam's original path. So if it starts out heading east and is reflected 180 degrees, then it's heading west, back the way it came.

Angles of reflection, like angles of incidence, are typically measured from the normal to the reflecting surface.

After the casting of Flash for the movies showing that these were indeed distinct universes, were people genuinely surprised that Supergirl was recast as well? Or are you talking about before Justice League was announced where there was at least (very very minimal) hope by some?

Even after Justice League's casting was announced, some CW-Supergirl fans were hoping Benoist's version would somehow become a part of the DCEU.

Well the new TV version of the Superman suit has suddenly looked more like Henry Cavil's Superman suit from the films.
(Sad as I liked the version they made for Tyler Hoechlin's appearances as 'Superman' on the Supergirl TV series looked better to me than what they had Cavil wearing...YMMV of course)
