Itās BS. Iām sorry, but it is.
Thatās straight up, blatant, obvious, in-your-face agenda and it sucks.
Itās why, save for crossovers, I donāt watch Supergirl anymore.

So Conroyās Batman was basically an even older Batfleck if he killed Superman? I didnāt know how much I needed that

They were fixing something that wasnāt broken (i.e. her classic Otto Binder origin). Same thing with the post-Crisis Power Girl origin: needlessly convoluted. If you donāt want to give Superman a cousin, then donāt include a Supergirl.
Here I am complaining about the original Crisis instead of the new one.

I was so happy hearing the old Reeve Superman Score when Routh Superman was on

Bruhā¦ you still on this anti Supergirl having a chance to shine thing? Itās one show. Itās literally the only show where she is more powerful. At some point you just gotta get over it. Itās not an agenda. Was it an agenda about male superiority when Superman was more powerful? No. Thatās not how storytelling works. JUST BECAUSE ITāS NOT WHAT YOU WANT IT DOESNāT MEAN ITāS BAD!!! I love this version of Kara. I really do.

Anyways, I wanted to come on and say I LOVED THE BATMAN TWIST!!! I think using Kevin Conroy was so smart and a great way to subvert expectations. Having Kevin, the quintessential version of the dark knight, end up being bad in his first live action role for the character made that twist hit WAY harder. I am loving this so far. Is it perfect? No. But I would be lying if I didnāt say middle school me would have lost his mind seeing this after reading the storyline for the first time. Canāt wait for the rest of this story!!!

I donāt have an open mind to DC writing itself into a corner with the Legion of Super-Heroes and having to resort to āPocket Universeā nonsense to get around it. Just leave Superboy, Supergirl, and General Zod be, and you wonāt have to come up with silly technobabble explanations later. 
My heart melted when we saw Smallville Superman and learn he gave up his powers for his family (daughters awww).
Then I was like wtf how but remembered Smallville jor el loved to ā ā ā ā with Clarkās powers and take them away so Clark couldāve asked for them gone.
Has Clark ever had daughters in the comics? I only remember sons.

Even without powers, he was great! For a small role, that was a lot of fun.

Ok. This is the last discourse Iāll have with you.
Just because you like it doesnāt mean itās good. Iām an author. Iāve written books, comics, done fiction inserts on RPGS, and was a game designer for a decade.
Iām putting that there for a reason.
Iāve done āmessagingā and Iāve done ātargeted contentā and that is a big part of Supergirl the TV show.
The difference is that there are good, and bad, ways to do targeted content. The good way to do it is by making it subtle, while still getting the message across.
Example:
Terminator: Dark Fate - This was the best pro feminism film Iāve seen in decades. A female lead action film primarily about one woman overcoming grief, while another is finding her place. It subverts the āmother of the saviorā trope well to tell an engaging story.
The difference between that and other films with the same targeted message is that they didnāt go out of their way to crap on the T-800. The T-800 was just as awesome as the T-800 has always been. Even though he didnāt show up until 45 minutes in and got very little screen time AND was played as a broken down, old, machine.
It wouldāve been (and could be) very easy, heck I couldāve done it, to get the targeted message across in Supergirl without nerfing Superman and winking at the audience every time they do it.
Heck they actually had Clark say, āYou always have to show me up.ā While looking directly at the camera.

Manā¦ youāre really triggered about this dude. I donāt think itās really our place as men to say what women and feminism need (Iām assuming since your profile name is Henry youāre a man, I am sincerely sorry for misgendering you if thatās not the case). Men havenāt been oppressed or systematically belittled and stereotyped in media (specifically superhero media) like women have. Now you can come in all high mighty about being a writer but that doesnāt mean youāre perfect. Thatās a fallacy known as āappeal to authority.ā Just because you want something done your way, doesnāt mean itās the right way (no matter what credentials you think matter). Itās Supergirlās show. If the writers wanted her to be more powerful and to do something different, THEN LET THEM! And donāt watch. But donāt come on here and complain that you werenāt spoon fed exactly what you expected. I love this version of Kara. SO MANY PEOPLE DO!!! So let them enjoy it. Iām not opposed to criticism of what I like, but this just seems so buried into your personal preferences rather than outright criticism. Have a nice night :)!

I canāt ever remember him having multiple daughters at once, but there was Lara from the Dark Knight Returns universe and the other Lara from Injustice Supermanās Black Mercy vision in year 3, so technically only 1 unless Iām forgetting anyone else

Thanks for knowing the actual runs! I remembered Lara but I couldnāt remember where from. This is why I love DCU!!!

@MissGsptlsnz the only example that comes to mind is from Superman: Secret Identity where that Clark had two daughters.

Why, why , why did the CW ever cast someone new for Superman when they had Brandon Routh already under contract??? What a wasted opportunity. After seeing Brandon next to the CW Lois Lane (they looked perfect together by the way) I donāt think Iām going to bother with the new Superman show.
