What is your ideal incarnation & characterization?

>>152347410
I like the Post-Crisis origin where she's technically older than Kal El and remembers him as a baby. I like the modern trauma they gave her from watching Argo City get destroyed.
I don't think she needs to be this idealized all-american girl next door. I like when she has some edge, and has some trouble adapting to Earth and American customs.

The current book is fine, but feels like it's in a protected bubble, and sort of out of character with how she acts everywhere else.

>I don't think she needs to be this idealized all-american girl next door
But that's the best version of Kara, fuck edgeshit
>>
>>152347502
It feels incompatible with the rest of her origin. There's too much trauma, too much tragedy, baked in. It has more in common with Martian Manhunter than Superman.
>>
>>152347410
The fanon version where she's Clark's surrogate daughter and Conner and Jon's older "sister."

>never get a story where Conner acts super 90s guy and Jon just thinks that’s the coolest thing ever
>never got a baby sitting story wit super girl or star girl baby sitting Jon
>never got a super family vs bat family family picnic games
It’s so weird how much they could do with Jon and all they could think of is to just make him a gay version of any generic superhero
>>
>>152347534
That's too simplistic, just because somebody experienced tradegy/trauma doesn't mean they'd express it exclusively in a particular way. Kara baring the scars of her planet's destruction doesn't have to involve her personality/demeanor and story's tone being completely transformed.
>>
>>152347488
>idealized all-american girl next door.

Ironically that would make her more alien in 2026 than what you propose.
>>
>>152347410
More or less the typical take on her. Only have her be Supergirl when she's a teenager. Then she takes a hiatus from the hero stuff to go to college and when she comes back, she decides to do her own thing rather than just look like the girl version of Superman and steps out of his shadow and becomes Powergirl.

I think someone who goes though all that and still become a hero make her a character as strong and complex as Superman. The struggle should be what makes the good deeds shine all the more. Its kinda like Batman in a way.

Right, she's going to embody the ideals that he parents and planet taught her (minus the racism).

Cir-El's pretty great and underrated.

I think there's a certain nuance to be had here. people who have experienced trauma doesn't automatically mean they have to act all brooding and edgy, but at the same time acting too cheerful like nothing happened feels cheap and makes the character seem retarded (in like, the actual meaning of the word, being mentally stunted)

>>

I think anon means Kara when they brought her back in the New Earth/post-Crisis continuity before Flashpoint
>>
>>152350841
Obviously we can have nuance, the problem is whenever modern writers try to examine the tragic aspects of Kara's character they almost always go full tilt in the other direction. It's not impossible to write a version of Kara where she's able to maintain her hopeful Pollyanna-type demeanor AND acknowledges the weight of the tradegies she's endured, it's just difficult. So writers just give up and instantly default to rewriting Kara's character (often to the point of unrecognizablilty) so that it's easier for them to address the full scope of her trauma. It's lazy.
>>
>>152348513
There’s a slim chance she’ll return one day because she doesn’t step on Kara’s shoes continuity-wise.

Really, Jon Kent and the super twins are the biggest reasons she won’t return. Too many “children” of Superman.


They need to focus on her being a Latina name Mia, experimented on by Brainiac and becoming a lesbian supergirl with Natasha and Traci 13. Rather than being a pseudo daughter of Clark and Lois.

>>152356229
Cir-El would be more like Conner.
A villain manufactured teen superhero, meant as a Manchurian agent to defeat Superman. Not as a daughter.

That’s what Jon Kent and the Super Twins are for.

It is getting pretty crowded. So I don't really have hopes or expectations but something needs to be done with John though. And I don't think anyone has plans for the twins

>>152361358
Just bring Cir-El back with no emphasis she’s a “daughter” of Superman. But more that she’s a kidnapped victim of Brainiac forced to become synthetically Kryptonian.

Play up how Mia is Latina and is a lesbian and fucking Traci 13 and Natasha. DC will love that.
>>
>>
>>152347658
Well wouldn’t the simplest solution be that she does have that trauma but out of a sense of obligation she tries to hide it and only really confines in Clark about it?

Mia is Latina?

>>152356229
>>152356394
And not just Jon and the twins, but Kara and Karen both serve as younger sister and, in some continuities, Kara does sorta serve as a daughter. Cir-El would become the Donna Troy of the Super Family if you "brought" her back

Conner works because he's gotten years and decades of development and context. Cir-El was just a few stories that didn't last long. And some of those only got written because someone had a fetish of putting three teenage girls in spandex into puppy piles constantly.
>>
>>152362459

>>152364608
Really you don’t even need Mia Cir-El to appear with Superman or his comics.
Just have her be with Natasha Irons or Traci.

What's fun about characters like Supergirl is that they're vague and non-integral enough that you can sort of just reimagine and reinterpret them however you'd like. It's a strength in this instance, as you can bounce from the DCAU's teeny bopper to the CW's Clark Kent (Female) to the Gunnverse's strung out party girl without it ever feeling unnatural or unwanted.

Agreed. Kara being all happy go lucky despite her tragic past is why DC will always be inferior to Marvel. I say this as part of team DC. It just makes her a one note, shallow character with no development or depth

I see her “nihilist” phase as part of her origin story. Like with Spider-Man being driven by anger initially after Uncle Ben’s death, until finding greater purpose by becoming a hero. I also find it interesting when her trauma manifests as anger issues like in New 52 and MAWS. It makes her feel like a real person, whereas “classic” supergirl just feels like I’m watching Bo Peep where every episode is indistinguishable and inconsequential from each other. I guess it just depends on your taste really, and what you want out of comics

>>152350841
>>152350966
Okay, I know this is fucking insane, but I'm being serious: I think she should become Christian to cope with her trauma. It would fit with the "all american girl" thing, but it would also give the braindead writers a consistent framework to handle the horrific loss she's experienced. I feel like "cute but super religious girl who used to be an alcoholic" is still a familiar enough archetype that people would get it, and the writers would hopefully stop ping-ponging her in stupid directions because "muh trauma"
>>
>>152377891
She’s already Kryptonian religious and believes in Rao.
>>
>>152377891
We already had a religious Supergirl, the Post-Crisis Linda Danvers, and she isn't canon anymore.
>>
>>152377924
A. How many writers give enough of a shit to bring that up consistently?
B. Practicing an alien religion makes her too alien.
C. I think having the Kents take her to church would be cute.
