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.
