The trailer for Justice League which was released at San Diego Comic-Con got fans talking on the final shot featuring Alfred Pennyworth is talking to a mysterious figure and says that he hopes that the person is not too late.
Fans are speculating that it is Superman and it may be. But another shot suggests that we may have seen a glimpse of #Supergirl.
Kara, Is That You?
During the trailer, Bruce Wayne looks at a hologram of a red-caped individual and that is accompanied by the dialogue “No Kryptonian.” Fans would assume that this is Superman, but if you do look a bit closely, it could be another member of the House of El.
As the cape flutters in the wind, one can see that rather than Superman’s blue suit covering the legs, they are uncovered. It also seems to be slimmer than Clark Kent’s legs, and they are also sporting some fetching boots that hint that we may be looking at Supergirl.
We know from #BatmanVSuperman that Bruce has been keeping tabs on superheroes, so it would not be out there to assume that he is also aware of Superman’s cousin. Whether or not Warner Bros. has cast this role is another matter, but it has been established that Kara exists within the #DCEU.
The Man Of Steel Prequel Comic
The official #ManOfSteel Prequel comic tells the story of Kara Zor-El’s arrival on Earth. She is involved in a mission to expand Krypton’s empire. After a murderer stows away on her ship, she found herself in proximity to Earth and gifted with superpowers by the yellow sun. After using her superpowers to defeat the stowaway, she crash-lands the ship on Earth, and it becomes the Fortress of Solitude that we see in Man of Steel.
When Clark Kent arrives in the arctic, we see that there is an open pod. This pod belongs to Kara and her arrival on Earth.
She may have been saving the world in secret for many years, and after his discovery of Wonder Woman and the rest of the league, it is safe to assume that she would be on Batman’s radar.
The Element Of Surprise
There have been rumors that Supergirl will appear in Man of Steel 2. If Kara shows up in Justice League, it would be a surprise for the fans. It is impossible for film studios to keep major casting decisions a secret due to social media. There was criticism when the trailers for Batman v. Superman revealed that Doomsday might feature in the film and so Warner Bros. wants to keep some more secrets.
There is also the fact that she would be a wildcard on the team. Steppenwolf has taken the opportunity to attack Earth while it is vulnerable and believes that there are no Kryptonians on the planet.
After the success of Wonder Woman, #DC knows that there is an appetite for strong female #superheroes and this gives the perfect opportunity or Justice League to introduce Supergirl.
