Two new TV spots provide a glimpse into the emotional bond building between Superman and Supergirl, and how their respective costumes evolve to reflect their individual struggles and potential roles within the DC Comics universe.
, which means DC Studios and Warner Bros. are in the homestretch of the marketing campaign. One of the things that’s been highlighted in recent promotional materials is the return of David Corenswet ’s Superman .
While Kal-El isn’t expected to have a sizable role, he still has a meaningful part to play, checking in on his cousin and trying to help her find her place in the universe. Given how strongly Corenswet’s version of the hero resonated with audiences last summer, it’s no surprise that Superman pops up in some newTV spots. They all include footage of Superman, with one of them revealing how Kara Zor-El receives her main superhero costume.
It appears it was a gift from her well-meaning cousin. Check them all out in the space below:In the second TV spot embedded above, Superman says to Kara, “I know it’s pretty colorful, but that’s just so everyone knows we’re good.
” In addition to highlighting the differences between the two Kryptonian cousins , the line harkens back to comments made by Corenswet during the build-up to, feeling that Superman would intentionally want to “look a little silly” so everyday people knew he was “approachable” and they could ask him to help with anything. Supergirl’s costume is a continuation of this sentiment.
In the footage, Kal-El openly admits his cousin’s new suit looks a little silly, but it’s supposed to. It’s an efficient, visual way of communicating to the general public that they’re the good guys and can be trusted. Knowing Kara as well as he does, Superman probably knows her personality could be perceived as off-putting to some, so with this outfit, people will know she means well .
Supergirl’s costume could tie into her character arc in the film. In addition to saving Krypto’s life, the movie seems to be about Kara overcoming her past trauma and finding her place in the world. Through her experiences with Ruthye Marye Knoll, she could learn how to open herself up again, forming close bonds and relationships with others.
It remains to be seen if Kara will ever see the good in everyone like her cousin, but she may enddeciding to follow a heroic path, becoming a protector for others. She might embrace her bright, colorful costume, feeling it makes her “punk rock” in her own way. James Gunn wants all DC Studios projects to operate as their own standalone stories that anyone can follow, but since the DCU is a shared universe,.
The threat of Brainiac is on the way, and someone with Supergirl’s power set would be helpful in that conflict. If she goes through a personal transformation in, she could jump at the opportunity to aid her cousin. Apparently, DC Studios has big plans for her in the future, so we should be seeing a lot of that colorful costume.
