Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Laura Vandervoort featured as Supergirl in Smallville in season 7 before leaving the DC series, raising questions for audiences regarding why her time on the show was so short. Vandervoort fit the role of Supergirl perfectly, and the character's story in the series was engaging, even though it did feature in one of the lowest rated seasons of Smallville.
Laura Vandervoort's Smallville Exit May Have Been Due To Showrunner Changes Supergirl's Exit Coincided With Many Behind The Scenes Changes Close The bigger changes Smallville experienced after season 7 appeared to have affected Supergirl's role. The show's creators left Smallville, feeling that the series had grown out of their plans, and Kelly Souders, Brian Peterson, Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer took over.
Why Supergirl's Smallville Ending Is So Underwhelming Kara's Brainiac Story Does Not Feel Finished Close Vandervoort's Supergirl was not given an adequate conclusion in the series. At the end of Smallville season 7, there are some significant reveals that show that Kara was taken by Brainiac. Using her appearance to trick people, Brainiac holds Kara as his captive in the Phantom Zone.
Indeed, Vandervoort has expressed disappointment in this ending as well, stating at the 2020 New York Comic Con Smallville reunion panel that, "I have said publicly before that I wish Kara was in more of the finale, at the wedding... she didn't really have closure. She just sort of flew off and we never saw her again. It would have been nice for myself personally, and I think for the character to have goodbyes. I didn't have any proper goodbyes.
It's worth noting that Smallville was a hotbed of potential spinoffs. While Aquaman, played by Alan Ritchson, was the only one to make it to the pilot stage before being dropped, the network was keen on a Justice League TV show as well. Over the years, they also discussed the possibility of a Blue Beetle series, a Flash series, and a Green Arrow series titled Metropolis. Although these ideas didn't materialize, the setup laid the groundwork for the Arrowverse.
