4 Reasons ‘Supergirl’ May Not Be Right for Every Family

The final moments of the 2025 blockbuster Superman included a surprise scene in which Supergirl – Superman’s cousin, Kara – crashed into his Arctic fortress intoxicated, cursing and searching for her super-powered dog, Krypto.That brief scene revealed two important details. First, Krypto actually belonged to Supergirl – and not Superman, despite the close bond they shared throughout the film. And, second, Kara was the complete opposite of Superman – irresponsible, immature, and far from the type of role model most parents would want their children to emulate.Of course, the cameo wasn't just for laughs. It served as a preview of the next chapter in DC Studios’ new cinematic universe, and that film – Supergirl (PG-13) – is now in theaters.Here are four reasons Supergirl may not be right for every family:Photo Credit: ©DC
