With the second film in the rebooted DCU now in wide release to pair with last year’s Superman, we analyze the recent Supergirl movie, exploring its marketing, storytelling choices, and representation of female superheroes. With the film currently sitting at around 54% on Rotten Tomatoes, the reactions have been mixed. We discuss broader trends in superhero films, particularly with female superheroes, gender dynamics, and industry failures when marketing toward female audiences.
