Supergirl has flown across our screens for decades, donning the cape with courage, hope, and some serious Kryptonian girl power. While Superman has often stolen the spotlight, Kara Zor-El—his equally super cousin—has carved out a fierce legacy of her own. From big-screen debuts to long-running TV sagas, Supergirl has been portrayed by a variety of talented actresses, each bringing something unique to the character.

Whether it’s a hopeful farm girl learning to control her powers or a hardened warrior ready to face apocalyptic threats, every version of Supergirl has reflected the era and universe she belonged to. Her journey through live-action has taken fans from the cult classic 1984 Supergirl movie to the CW’s Arrowverse hit series, to DC’s multiversal chaos in The Flash (2023).

Each performance added layers to Kara’s story—reimagining her personality, powers, and purpose. And now, even James Gunn’s Dcu has...

James Gunn has revealed exactly how the upcoming Supergirlmovie is going to use Jason Momoa's character of Lobo. The actor has already been confirmed to be making a cameo appearance as the fan-favorite alien bounty hunter, after previously playing Aquaman in the Dceu.

Speaking on the DC Studios Showcase Official Podcast, Gunn talked about Momoa's casting and how the character of Lobo will impact Supergirl's story. "The comic is very much a bunch of little stories," he said. "We needed to create one throughline, one three-act story, so Lobo helps us to do that." Supergirl is scheduled to be released as part of the Dcu's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters on June 26, 2026.

Gunn went into further detail about using Tom King's original ideas for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and using them to push the movie forward. "Tom, he's one of the guys I trust, that we talk about possible things.

Warner Bros. has set the release of Locksmith Animation’s upcoming “The Lunar Chronicles,” an animated adaptation of Marissa Meyer’s hit young adult novels, for Nov. 3, 2028.

Released between 2012 and 2015, “The Lunar Chronicles” is set in a sci-fi future and features an overarching narrative loosely inspired by fairy tales such as “Cinderella,” “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Snow White.” Noëlle Raffaele (“DC Super Hero Girls”) will direct from a screenplay by Lindsey Ferrentino, Kalen Egan and Travis Sentell.

“It takes a team of true visionaries to bring a world as rich and daring as ‘The Lunar Chronicles’ to life. This is the kind of story that feels like it was waiting for just the right moment—and the right people—to be told. It’s thrilling, emotional and completely unlike anything we’ve seen before,” Bill Damaschke, president of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Natalie Fischer, CEO of Locksmith Animation,...

Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Locksmith Animation are behind the project that has a script credited to Lindsey Ferrentino and writing partners Kalen Egan and Travis Sentell. Christina Steinberg serves as producer.

DC appears to be going all in on Green Lanternas a new animated series, My Adventures with Green Lantern, was recently announced. After 2011's box office disaster Green Lantern, it seemed like Warner Bros. and DC Comics tried to downplay the various characters' importance, including omitting them from the Justice League roster in the Dceu. The 2020s look very Green Lantern-centric as Nathan Fillion will play Guy Gardner in Superman, with Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler set to play John Stewart and Hal Jordan incarnations of the Green Lantern in the Max series Lanterns. Now an animated version of the Green Lantern Jessica Cruz is on the way, but it will be connected to another popular Superman project outside of the Dcu.

When people think of superhero shows, they often think of the DC Animated Universe, the CW's Arrowverse, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, or X-Men: The Animated Series. While those franchises helped establish many superhero icons, there are plenty of superhero shows that the average person doesn’t know exist. A quick cancelation is often one of the biggest reasons, but sometimes it simply comes down to people not being familiar with the IP.

Sticking to only Batman and Spider-Man is a sure way to overlook a wealth of great content. Even within popular franchises, there are series that many people don’t know exist. With over ten Spider-Man shows alone, there are bound to be quality superhero series that have been forgotten or never discovered.

Hallmark and Great American Family Channel actress McKellar is working on a new project. Read on to see what Danica’s working on now!

Danica Has Gone From Mathematician To Actress, To…

McKellar first captured the spotlight as Winnie Cooper in the beloved series The Wonder Years. Throughout her career, she has made a significant mark as a voice actress, lending her talents to characters like Miss Martian in Young Justice and Killer Frost in DC Super Hero Girls.

In recent times, she has gained recognition for her roles in numerous Hallmark productions, and she has also become a part of the Great American Family network in many Christmas-themed projects.

Beyond her acting endeavors, McKellar is celebrated for her non-fiction writing, particularly in the realm of mathematics. Her books, including Math Doesn’t Suck and Do Not Open This Math Book, are designed to inspire young girls to embrace math with enthusiasm.

DC animated movies have been a cornerstone of superhero storytelling, offering a wide range of narratives from different eras and universes. Since 2020, these films have continued to expand the DC Universe, introducing both beloved characters and fresh takes on classic tales. Each film brings its own unique style, tone, and story, reflecting the diverse nature of the DC Comics world. Some movies focus on epic battles and grand-scale conflicts, while others delve into character-driven narratives and darker themes. The impact of these films varies widely, with some being praised for their creativity and emotional depth, while others receive criticism for not fully capturing the essence of their source material.

This collection of DC animated films showcases the ongoing evolution of the genre. Whether its exploring alternate realities, revisiting iconic storylines, or introducing new heroes and villains, each movie adds something different to the DC animated legacy. The range in storytelling,...

DC Super Hero Girls portrays the most extreme contrast between Bruce Wayne and Batman for comedic effect. The show uses an over-the-top, vapid Bruce Wayne to effectively conceal Batman's true identity. The exaggerated differences in voice and persona between Bruce Wayne and Batman add humor while maintaining secrecy.

One particular DC animated show has possibly the most convincing way to keep Batman's identity secret, and it's one that many would never have guessed. DC Super Hero Girls was a two-season animated series that aired from March 2019 until October 2021. Similar to Teen Titans Go!, the DC animated show focused on capturing a younger audience, featuring teenage versions of iconic DC heroines including, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Zatanna, Green Lantern, and Bumblebee.

A key aspect of Bruce Wayne is how he plays up the billionaire playboy persona to help mask his secret identity as Batman. DC Super Hero Girls goes the extra length to portray this idea,...

Young Justice is an animated series that follows the many sidekicks of the DC Universe as they work to prove themselves as full-fledged heroes in their own right and balance the struggles of teenage life. Unlike similar shows DC Super Hero Girls and Teen Titans Go!, Young Justice takes a more serious approach and tackles mature themes of grief, Ptsd, performance-enhancing drugs, and more.

During the first 2 seasons on Cartoon Network, the series needed to meet the standards of the kids' network, only allowing the series to touch on the more mature themes it wanted to. After being canceled in 2013, the show was brought back as a DC Universe Original and HBO Max Original for its fourth season. The move from a cable channel to a more mature streaming service allowed the creators free-range to explore the characters in ways they couldnt before. Something Season 3 highlighted was the immense diversity within the larger DC Universe,...

Superman is the platonic ideal of a superhero. He's got a great costume, all the best powers, and has been in the public eye for decades. He is easily the most powerful superhero of his universe, and has a sprawling history. In addition to defending his home city of Metropolis, Superman has joined countless super-teams. He's been a critical member of the Justice Society, the Justice League, the Authority, and the Legion of Superheroes. His popularity has ensured that Superman has been adapted to television many times.

While lots of these versions of Superman are good, some are better than others. What makes a good Superman can be fluid, and sometimes depends on the concept of the show. However, a good adaptation of Superman will really highlight all sides of the character. He should explore what it means to be Clark Kent and Superman. He should also be kindhearted and...

Young Justice star Danica McKellar’s journey in discovering faith can deeply move even the likes of Mark Wahlberg, who’ve never shied away from vocalizing their devotion to God.

Warner Bros. turned down the opportunity to make an animated crossover movie between Mortal Kombat and DC Universe despite the success of the video game. Writer Jeremy Adams, who has worked on both franchises, expressed his hope for a DC/Mortal Kombat crossover and his desire to be involved in the project. While there have been successful collaborations between Mortal Kombat and DC in the form of video games like Injustice, Warner Bros. has shown little interest in a direct crossover between the two franchises.

"Finish him!" Those two little words conjure up violent, bloody imagery of the countless fantastic fatalities from the Mortal Kombat video game franchise over the last 30+ years. And in 2008, the crossover event Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe dropped on the Playstation 3 and Xbox360 platforms.

Kite Man: Hell Yeah! is a spinoff of the popular Harley Quinn series, featuring the character's saucy adventures, violence, sex, cursing, and dark humor. Kite Man, also known as Charles "Chuck" Brown, is a lesser-known villain from Batman's rogues gallery who uses kite-inspired weapons. The character has appeared in other TV shows and movies, including Batman: The Brave and the Bold and The Lego Batman Movie, and may have a chance at a live-action treatment in the future.

Learning via Twitter, Jackson Publick replied, "Um... What?" to a screengrab dated July 21, announcing that The Venture Bros. will be leaving Max on August 12. The news wasn't only a shock to the co-creator but also to fans.

One of the most family-friendly takes on the DC Universe came about in the 2010s, with DC Super Hero Girls reimagining various superheroes and villains in a unique way. Aimed primarily at young girls, the franchise manifested in animated shows, toys and even video games. Sadly, one such animated series is now missing-in-action, and it highlights a key failure in not keeping the brand around.

The recent digital content purges of online streaming services has seen DC Super Hero Girls become unavailable to watch or purchase. This is definitely disappointing for fans and families, as they can now only watch it through physical media. The lack of a new incarnation of the series also displays a major void that DC and Warner Bros. Discovery should aim to fill.

Liam Neeson leads the Retribution cast with famous child actors, award-winning Broadway stars, and an ‘80s icon in supporting roles. This is the latest in a long line of action movies starring Neeson. A remake of the 2015 Spanish thriller El Desconocido, Retribution revolves around a banker who gets into his car with his kids and learns that the car has been rigged with bombs that will explode if anyone leaves their seat or the car is stopped. The mysterious assailant, who calls the banker on a phone he left in the car, will deactivate the bombs if he transfers a large sum of money into his account.

Set to be released on VOD on August 24, the Hollywood remake of Retribution is directed by Nimród Antal, the filmmaker behind Predators, Metallica: Through the Never, and two episodes of Stranger Things. The screenplay for the remake, adapted from Alberto Marini’s original script,...

Batgirl tends to gets the short end of the Bat Stick. Comics-wise, one of her most famous story arcs is ... not particularly fun. Outside of "DC Super Hero Girls," she's rarely front and center in the world of DC animation. Well, except for adaptations of the aforementioned (in)famous story arc which is, again, not particularly fun. Lately, she's even gotten a raw deal in live-action. The character was all set to be portrayed by Leslie Grace ("In the Heights") in a film directed by "Bad Boys for Life" and "Ms. Marvel" veterans Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, only for Warner Bros. Discovery to brutally scrap the whole thing in the middle of post-production as a reported tax write-off. All this is to say, Batgirl deserves better. She deserves someone who cares for her story.

Well, that would be Tara Strong, who began her relationship with the character back...

Since the recent release of Teen Titans Go! and DC Super Hero Girls, fans have been yearning for the Teen Titans that aired long before Teen Titans Go did. After all, the subject matter tended to be more serious, the characters more developed, and the action far grander.

Yet, it was the humor that caught the attention of most fans. Fans on Ranker have slowly been voting to determine which insults the heroes slung at each other were the best, especially given how often shots were fired. While not every insult hit its mark, they were certainly great.

Note: Ranker lists are live and continue to accrue votes, so some rankings may have changed after this publishing.

A new episode of the Marvel Studios animated series “Marvel’s What If…?” has hit Disney+, and with it come questions as to who’s voicing which characters.

It’s been quite a while since Nintendo has hosted a substantial Direct presentation that focuses on trailers and news for the biggest upcoming Switch games. In fact, this February 17th showcase was the Nintendo Direct of its kind since September 2019.

Of course, the long gap between such presentations is understandable given that the Covid-19 pandemic delayed production schedules across the industry and impacted everyone’s ability to share substantial updates about their upcoming releases. As a result, 2020 Nintendo Direct presentations were highlighted by a celebration of Super Mario‘s 35th anniversary, indie showcases, and various Super Smash Bros. updates. At least Switch owners had Animal Crossing to keep them occupied.

Even still, the long wait for another Nintendo Direct presentation has sent the always wild speculation that comes with these showcases into overdrive. Before the show started, fans were already resurrecting franchises such as Star Fox and F-Zero in...

Also known for her roles on Orange Is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, Guerrero has made a name for herself with DC fans by starring as Crazy Jane on the DC Universe series Doom Patrol. Recently tweeting from the official Doom Patrol Twitter account, Guerrero was directly asked which other DC character she might want to portray next.

"Jessica Cruz, Green Lantern! That's my next DC character, just to put it out there," Guerrero says in the tweet. It should be noted that Guerrero has previously voiced Jessica Cruz in the animated movie Justice League vs. the Fatal Five, which was released directly to home video last year. The movie was a hit with critics upon its release, scoring an impressive 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

While the complicated rights issues mean that it could be a while before the streaming service manages to gather them all under the one roof, there are still a huge amount of comic book properties available for subscribers, with more to come in the future thanks to the huge investment being made in the likes of J.J. Abrams’ Justice League Dark and the James Wan-produced Aquaman animated miniseries.

A lot of the DC back catalogue might be leaving the newly-launched platform already, including Tim Burton’s Batman movies, but as is the case with...

If there’s one thing DC loves, it’s reboots. The comics cycle through their continuity in one form or another every decade or so, the movies…well…that’s a whole thing, too. So of course now it’s time for the DC animated movies to get a fresh start. And this time, they’re doing it with the hero who should pretty much always be the center of these things: Superman.

Since 2014, there have been 20 DC Universe Animated Original Movies, most of which existed in a shared continuity that began with Justice League: War and culminated in this year’s Justice League Dark: Apokalips War. With that story arc now complete, Superman: Man of Tomorrow will set up a new continuity for future movies. Butch Lukic is the new Supervising Producer for these DC movies, with Chris Palmer directing Man of Tomorrow.

The voice cast includes Darren Criss (Glee) as Clark Kent/Superman,...
