Supergirl was living in Argo City when Krypton blew up, so she might not have known that much about what the Els were up.
And with the way No Time to Die ended, the new Bond will have to be a different person again.
Some people (not necessarily here) are assuming a lot about what new insights Supergirl will provide about Superman’s little Krypton twist. My guess: The film won’t directly address it at all. The reveal served its narrative purpose here, and I expect Gunn rightly feels it’s in the rearview. General audiences are not waiting with bated breath for the other shoe to drop regarding Krypton, and neither are fans like myself. Supergirl has its own story to tell. One hopes and imagines that scribbling in the margins of Superman to placate a subset of fans will not be a priority.
Depends on what direction they go. Kara might even have a Kryptonian mentality about humans, at least for now.
I agree with you. I do think though, that we will get more of an insight into Kryptonian culture in a way that might address and/or raise more questions.
The funny thing is the final ending to the first Donner Superman movie was taken from Superman II when they realized there was no earthly way the original plan of finishing both films during the original production was possible. At that point, Donner and the Salkinds didn't have a big enough ending for part one, and they didn't know if the movie would even be successful enough for Warner to even bother releasing the sequel. Thus, the decision was made to move the "turning back the world" ending to part one, and adding in Lois dying to justify the action (which didn't happen originally), making the plot more standalone.
The ending makes a lot more sense in the Donner Cut of Superman II, back where it was originally intended - he's having to clean up all the damage done by Luthor and the Kryptonian villains across the two films. Either way, to Mudd's point, the script is held together mostly by vibes and the verisimilitude generated by everyone involved with the production. But, I also love the living fuck out of the film regardless.
Yeah, in all the chaos, Clark could have saved him and none would have been wiser.
So, I recognize Wesley Dodds Sandman, Amazing-Man, Silent Knight, Wild West El Diablo, Black Pirate, Liberty Belle, Bulletman & Bulletgirl, Max Mercury, Phantom Lady, Atomic Knight, Freedom Beast, Wildcat, and Vibe. Some of the others look familiar, but I can't quite put a name to them.
I was going to say Enemy Ace for World War I, but then I realized that he flew a triplane.
What the heck is Vibe doing in that mural? He was a newbie that died in the Detroit League, right?
I saw this on another forum. It looks fairly accurate. Not sure on Slam Bradley. An early Siegel and Shuster creation. Others think it’s Iron Monroe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Munro a post Crisis creation to replace Superman in golden Age stories. Who is based on some of Siegel and Shuster pulp inspirations for Superman.
I think it’s fairly obvious these choices are based on certain factors. Variety in terms of time period and powers. But also ethnicity. Vibe probably for all. Most likely set in 80s when he was created. At this point it’s hard to known if we will ever see some of these characters in film or tv.
It’s interesting that we do not see Golden Age, Justice Society characters like Green Lantern or the Flash. I wonder if they are being saved for a potential Earth 2. They have modern day counterparts with same powers. While Sandman and Wildcat never really did. Plus Wildcat could train Black Canary being part of the main Earth.
Madame Xanadu, Silent Knight. Hippolyta, Black Pirate. Miss Liberty, Windrunner (Max Mercury), Super-Chief, El Diablo, ?, ?, Sandman, Amazing Man. Zatara. Liberty Belle, Bulletman. Max Mercury. Bulletgirl. TNT & Dyna-Mite, Freedom Beast, a cheetah, Phantom Lady, Atomic Knight, Wildcat, Vibe, ?, Max Lord
That's not Hippolyta, it's the Amazon character from Demon Knights. I posted her name in the DCU thread but I can't remember how to spell it now.
Yeah, if they ever address the El's message again, I have a feeling they'll save it for a Superman solo sequel. Supergirl is going to focus on her and her issues, and I can't really see Clark's message from his parents really having that much of an effect on her.
