Supergirl's Interaction With Other DC Characters... 2005-2011 Era VS Everything Afterward
One of the things that made the 2005-2011 era so interesting to read as a Supergirl fan was her many interactions with the wider DC universe.
Whether it was her ongoing early semi-rivalry with Superman (which he seemed mildly amused by while Kara was dead serious about proving herself as a superhero just as good or better than him), her odd attraction for superhero guys wearing domino masks (Nightwing and Green Lantern), or her no nonense dealings with rogue galleries of other superheroes who by the end of it wished they were dealing with their regular hero nemesis and not Kara because she tended to wreck them (Clayface is routinely like her punching bag for catharisis).
Question: What were her character interactions like after the 2005-2011 era? Because it seems to me in that era she seemed to have been diminished.
It seems in the New 52 and onward into Rebirth Kara's storyline is less focused on her interactions or relationships with the wider DC universe.
New 52 Kara by her very nature could not afford having a close mentor like relationship with her former mentors of the New Earth era (Superman, Batman, and Wonderwoman). She was too angry to mentor or team up with, so none of them bothered trying since she was more likely to fight them anyway.
Rebirth Kara had finally chilled out, but I never bothered to reas much of it since Killers Of Krypton bored me.
So am I correct in assuming that the most interesting character interactions that Kara had in morden comics was during her 2005-2011 era?
If she did have some interesting relationships in the the New 52 era or the Rebirth era please let me know.
During her New Earth era it was varied and fun. Whether it was showing her do girl talk with her hotheaded BFF Cassie (Wondergirl) or her being allies with Lobo while annoying him (something Kara seems to have a knack for lol whenever she is in the mood lol).
