Supergirl: A Disappointing Return for the DCU

Pour one out for Supergirl, the latest installment in the DCU’s Gods and Monsters chapter, which has been plagued by online troll attacks, mixed reviews, and a very disappointing opening weekend box office—not the outcome Warner Bros. was hoping for with this follow-up to last year’s Superman. It’s actually a pretty good movie, as such films go, but it’s not a great movie. And in today’s over-saturated superhero market, that’s just not sufficient to get people out of their homes and into theaters.
