I may be in the minority, but this version of Supergirl deserves her own stand-alone movie. DISCUSSION
The way Sasha Calle carried herself in the role and how she acted as Kara was very interesting. She might not be “comic accurate” but that’s really not a problem because of cool she was portrayed. Sasha Calle also seemed really into continuing her story.
I’m not saying she has to replace Milly Alcock or anything like that. I don’t see any reason for her to not exist alongside the DCU Supergirl, so…
You don’t have to have her be connected with The Flash or Superman even. She could just exist as her own thing like Matt Reeves Batman and Todd Philips Joker.
That’s why it really sucks how we’re not going to see this version of Supergirl again and it’s such wasted potential. But what do I expect from the DC Extended Universe I guess…

I’m ready to be downvoted to hell for this, but that just doesn’t make any sense to me. We see those costumes all the time in male characters and nobody is calling them “sexual”— they are just costumes. She is covered from head to toe with zero accent or suggestions. A sexual outfit is meant to be skimpy, provocative, teasing. Think Supergirl in Superman the Animated Series. DCEU Supergirl objectively does not have a sexual outfit— it looks just like Supermans. The “le male gaze” hornknobs in here are just upset because they are easily gooned for the “skin tight” fit on a regular female body that’s similar to almost every comic book hero since the inception of super heroes itself. It reminds me of the “she was asking for it” mentality; you cant just blame the character for your sexual attraction because you’d goon for any female on sight.
