A New Cover Posted Every Day! Join the Facebook Fan Page at: www.facebook.com/SuperTeamFamilyTheLostIssues
As cool as it will be to see what looks to be a variant Supergirl that may be Superman's daughter in The Flash, it does seem like another missed opportunity to at long last bring Power Girl to live action. They've avoided using her on the WB TV Supergirl show, and she is nowhere to be seen in the DCEU. When will Karen Starr finally get her shot?
This marks the 11th appearance of The Power Couple on this blog...

When you wish upon a "Star", makes no difference who you are unless you're part of post Flashpoint.
Just learned that about 10 years ago a theatre in Texas did 'It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman' set in 1939 with a costume emblem like that of The Fleischer Studio and a strong, tall & intelligent black woman playing Lois Lane. And
it seems to have been done straight as opposed to being campy. I would have loved to see that take on the play.
Are you saying Karen Starr is a Variant? Don't let the TVA find out!
here's a link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BOx8BtpbQxY
when dc wiped out earth 2 they wiped out power girl too...poof no more power girl...it was all a dream....just like bobby ewing had on dallas...lol
I've always been frankly baffled by how the DCverse has managed the 2 Supergirl versions existing side by side. The Earth 1/2 origins are clear, but then things get muddled. When I finish my degree course in Advanced DC Continuity I plan to do post graduate work on their relationship.
Great to see the Great Powers again.
But you never turned the Wonders into the same kind of couple. Isn't it time for Wonder Man to try to steal Cap's girl?
Well, if I were Johnny Mathis, I'd be tempted to say: "About the 12th of Never." If only because there'd no doubt be a lot of politicking, in and out of whatever film studio won the adaptation rights, as to whether or not a live-action Power Girl costume should cover up what some Internet detractors have sarcastically referred to as "the Window of Opportunity!"
As to Power Girl and Supergirl co-existing? To this day, I personally feel that the former's post-Crisis origin should have had her rewritten as the latter's cousin by Nim-El (Jor-El's Silver Age twin brother).
Any chance of a Spidey/PG team-up?
I do wish that the Arrowverse would do a live-action Power Girl. Maybe after the new multiverse is discovered (which I think is coming soon with a Flash/Stargirl crossover), we can get Karen Starr. Or she can just show up on Stargirl somehow.
(I really prefer the arc where she's a remnant of the multiverse that doesn't exist any more, though. I doubt Berlanti would want to go that direction with her, though.)
@Tobor: I was in a production of that show in high school (chorus/minor roles). I'd be interested enough to see it done in a non-campy way that I might just take a look at your link. (Setting it in 1939 with a Black Lois Lane is almost as intriguing.)
@Ivan: I don't usually LOL at comments, but yours truly did the job.
@Dave: I'm of the opinion that the Wonders could become partners in crimefighting. They've appeared together once, with an interrupted "first date," way way back in #36. On the other hand, his team-up with Wonder Girl in #615 might have more potential.
I remember this cover from a Marvel Team-Up. You'd never guess Spidey was ever there. Nicely done Ross.
Thanks, sometimes "erasing" a character to make room for another can be the trickiest part!
Then, all the more reason to have Power Girl team up with Spidey, for the first time, here.
;-)

Me too! It sounds fascinating.

They might have thought that they did, but that lady is asurvivor!
After all, in the comics, not only did she survive the abolition of her original continuity -- albeit with her "origin" then becoming sometimes a matter of confusion IC as well as OOC -- but the version of Kara/Karen who has appeared sometimes in Harley Quinn's post -Flashpoint adventures is clearly the pre-Flashpoint one rather than the newer version from the new Earth-"...
(In the case of Harley herself the matter is a bit more confusing: own-comics Harley and 'Suicide Squad' do seem to be separate people [as their crowded continuities would pretty much require...], with the former as the pre-Flashpoint version, but each has also been shown to have somehow at least some of the other's fairly recent memories! Then again, if there can be canonically three separate versions of the Joker simultaneously in existence, without them seeking each other out to kill the "imposters", some kind of mental overlap between those would seem probably the case as well...)

I'm fairly sure that Byrne's post-Crisis re-imagining of Krypton had -- and required -- Jor-El as an only child.
In that case, I'll settle for a photo-capture movie ad, based on two Charlton Comic sci-fi film adaptations from the early Sixties.
"GORGO VS. KONGA!"
Or, failing that...
"GORGO VS. REPTILICUS!"
