Supergirl
Welcome to part two of our discussion of Supergirl. We first discuss what superpower we would have, and it goes deliciously off the rails in the name of extreme comfort. Then, after sharing some listener feedback on re-casting, and revealing our picks from part one, we dig into a deep discussion of better and badder villains, including some great ideas from the comics. Speaking of comics, Mark and Lee help us with Supergirl’s history there, including her origin story, and relationship with her cousin (that other Super-hero you might have heard of). From there, we talk about how this remake could be the female-led superhero movie that the world has been waiting for. Or, it could be a Supergirl or Catwoman level disaster that pushes that idea back another decade or few. No pressure, Joe Hollywood. Then we discuss how we want the tone of the remake to be – more Iron Man tone The Dark Knight, if you will.
