Gillespie Reimagines Supergirl as a Mad Max–style DCU Noir

Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl abandons James Gunn’s Guardians vibe for a dirty, Mad Max–style DCU take (based on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow) where Kara, stripped of powers on hostile worlds, hunts a killer named Krem with Ruthye and later teams with Lobo to save her dog Krypto; the film uses Kryptonese for emotional weight, keeps a darker, nihilistic tone, and preserves the ending, with Gunn noting the tone can diverge from his universe. Warner Bros. releases it June 26.
