I published a new piece at The Escapist at the weekend. With the release of The Flash, it seemed worth considering the best part of the movie: Sasha Calle’s Supergirl.
For decades, Warner Bros. has struggled with the character of Superman, trying to find a way to make that character relevant for the modern world. What’s interesting about The Flash is that it finds a unique and compelling answer to this question with its take on Supergirl, presenting an immigrant who arrives to a world that is inherently hostile and xenophobic, which treats her as less than a person, and yet somehow finds the strength to fight for that planet anyway. It’s just a shame that she’s ultimately wasted and discarded by the film.
