Super Heroes Girls

Earth-2 did have a Dick Grayson Robin. He had grown and went off on his own. Kinda like a way more heroic and far less annoying version of Nightwing. (I have never been a Nightwing fan)
Also, Earth-2 Robin had a grey costume, which is the best Robin costume ever.
The way they handled Earth-2 variants, especially PG and Robin was very good counter point to Earth-1 Supergirl and Robin. And, especially in Supergirlâs case, it set her apart as a unique character in the DC Mythos.

We are talking
Silver Age Earth 2 Robin, first seen in a JLA / JSA teamup
All Star Comics 58 and up Earth 2 Power Girl
Versus
New 52 Earth 2 Supergirl
Who uses Power Girl name on Main Earth
New 52 Earth Robin, daughter of Batman and Catwoman, uses Huntress name on main Earth
Two different versions
Neither exist any more
Helena Wayne will be Batwoman in future
As for PG,
Seen in Background shots
But not yet spoken
In Rebirth or later
(Except maybe Harley / PG which I have not read)
Of course
Now âeverything happenedâ
So who knows?

There have been so many ârebootsâ since COIE, it is hard to keep track. It took DC 35 years to ârebootâ with COIE. In the last 35 years there been 5 or 6 crisis level events. I hope the rebirth continuity finally sticks.

Right
There is probably a âjust turning into teen agerâ Dick Grayson Robin in the Earth where Batman from Detective 27 is still fighting criminal more than 80 years later, barely aged at all

I do think that is one of the things about Supergirl Iâve always liked. Sheâs always a heroes journey and âcoming of ageâ and trying to step out of Superman long cast shadow wrapped into one. There are so many ways to do an arc like that, but doing it well, not simple.
I gotta admit that the STAS-JLU arc is one of the best Iâve seen. It hits all the points and merges them as a seamless arc. Gotta give Timm mad props on that.

Until you said it
I didnât realize how
The STAT / JLU
was a complete
Heroâs Journey
Encompassing
Many years
I didnât even consider
Such episodes
As the one with
Green Arrow and Question
Or the conflict between
Kara and her PG lookalike clone
Interesting that the last season of JLU
Happened accidently
The Legion story,
Which connected
The advanced technology of Krypton
To the tech of the 31st Century
Made the end of
Karaâs journey obvious
(That and, of course, the boy)
Kara was 21
And made the best decision for her.
I wouldnât have minded
That Legion series either.

Supergirl: Being Super (2016) #1
In Supergirl: Being Super, Karaâs new friend Dolly is confident in her identity as a gay young woman. What role do you see her playing in Karaâs life?

My take
First
I doubt Dolly is a ânew friendâ
I donât know if the three best friends have known each other from first grade
Or more recently
It is clear that they have known each other for years
Also Mariko Tamaki
Takes a unique approach
To these three
She excludes all the other students, giving them at best a page of dialogue.
Most teen age movies are about status in high school or romantic relationships.
That is not the concern of Mariko Tamaki.
Except for the track team (of which we know nothing about the other girls on the team), school life barely exists for the three.
Two things here
Dolly is named for a famous singer.
This might be a shout out to
Cher and Dionne in the teen age movie Clueless
Dolly has made a choice.
Kara thinks you donât have to.
Dolly has good instincts
Lee follows instructions ⌠just because
Only panel involving school work. Other school scenes are mainly hall ways
Dolly knows
Kara is different
In some ways
But doesnât care.
Dolly know what it means to be different
Putting
Dolly in danger
Forces Kara
To make a choice

I think one of Dollyâs big functions in the trio is to show Kara that you can be the âoutsiderâ while still being part of the community around you. Dolly is no the norm, but doesnât care, lives as who she is, and in the process is accepted as that. Plus, she I agree is the most grounded of the three girls. She sees the world as it is, not too cynical not too naive.

From @msgtv
Pride Profile: Mariko Tamaki. This Canadian writer and artist made an indelible impact with her 2008 graphic novel Skim, drawn by her sometime collaborator and cousin Jillian Tamaki. This and subsequent works often explore ideas âabout living in the moments of wrenching transition âŚ[and] the conflicting need to belong and desire to resist.â Themes seemingly drawn from her own life and identity as a lesbian growing up in Canada. Tamaki joined the DC family with highly praised Supergirl: Being Super, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass, and I am not Starfire. She has also written She Hulk and Lumberjanes novels, and is now currently writing Detective Comics.
