Supergirl Movie Poster Helen Slater and 50 similar items

Supergirl is a 1984 British superhero film directed by Jeannot Szwarc from a screenplay by David Odell based on the DC Comics character of the same name. It is the fourth film in the Superman film series, set after the events of Superman III (1983) and serving as a spin-off of the series. The film stars Helen Slater as Supergirl, along with Faye Dunaway, Hart Bochner, Peter Cook, Mia Farrow, Brenda Vaccaro, and Peter O'Toole, with Marc McClure reprising his role as Jimmy Olsen from the Superman films. Although it is canon with the Christopher Reeve Superman films, it is not included in any of the Superman DVD or Blu-ray box sets by Warner Bros. Helen Slater as Kara Zor-El / Linda Lee / Supergirl. Christopher Reeve was slated to have a cameo as Superman but bowed out early on. His non-appearance in the film is explained via a news broadcast (overheard by Selena) stating that Superman has left Earth on a "peace-seeking mission" to a distant galaxy. In the Superman documentary You Will Believe..., Director Jeannot Szwarc said Reeve's involvement in this film would have given the feature higher credibility, and admitted he wished Reeve had made a contribution to the film's production. A publicity photo of him as Superman does appear as a poster in Lucy and Linda's shared dorm room. The character made her first appearance in Action Comics #252 (May 1959) and was created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino. Created as a female counterpart to Superman, Kara Zor-El shares his super powers and vulnerability to Kryptonite. Supergirl plays a supporting role in various DC Comics publications, including Action Comics, Superman, and several comic book series unrelated to Superman. In February 2021, Colombian-American actress Sasha Calle was cast as Supergirl in The Flash (2023), directed by Andy Muschietti. Her appearance and costume drew comparisons to alternative Supergirls Cir-El and Lara Lane Kent, from the Injustice universe. A television series centered around the Kara Zor-El version of Supergirl, set in the shared universe Arrowverse, titled Supergirl starring Melissa Benoist as Kara, premiered on CBS on October 26, 2015, before later moving onto The CW on May 12, 2016. In the series, Kara was sent to Earth-38 to protect her cousin Kal-El although her pod got knocked off course and became stranded in the Phantom Zone for 24 years. Eventually, Kara crashes on Earth-38 where she is rescued by an adult Kal, who is now the iconic superhero "Superman". Superman puts Kara in the care of the Danvers family who decides it is best to hide her abilities from the world. Twelve years later, Kara is a reporter for Cat Co worldwide media. She is eventually forced to reveal her powers to the world after saving her adoptive sister Alex Danvers from a near plane crash and is dubbed "Supergirl", by the media. With the help of Department of Extra-Normal Operations (D.E.O.) director Hank Henshaw which was later revealed as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter, her best friend Winn Schott and James Olsen / Guardian, Kara fights aliens prisoners lead by her evil aunt Astra, who attempt to invade Earth. She is later joined by Lex Luthor?s sister Lena, the Daxamite Mon-El, Querl Dox, and Nia Nal / Dreamer in fighting enemies such as Mon-El's parents, the World Killer Reign, Red Daughter, alien activist Ben Lockwood / Agent Liberty and the evil secret organisation Leviathan. In 1985, DC Comics named Slater as one of the honorees in the company's 50th anniversary publication Fifty Who Made DC Great for her work on the Supergirl film.
