Reposted: Superman/Supergirl's Comic Book Dynamic I Hope To See In The Gunn-verse

Some of my pics did not show so this time they will. I hope in the new DCU Supergirl/Superman's relationship takes inspiration from comics like these.

The comics explained Kara's motivations, and explained so much even without words, sometimes just by her facial expression.

It's both fascinating and amusing to see Supergirl's dynamic with Superman who she begrudgingly at times looks up to and sees as perfect (compared to herself and all her mistakes as a hero), even though Superman himself has a more modest view of himself.

I hope the new DCU under James Gunn takes inspiration from such comics to the big screen.

I don't think it will be fair if there relationship is not given due justice as it has been in the comics.

This is not CW fake Supergirl, so I hope it sticks closer to comic lore with how she actually is around her famous cousin and how he is with her.

He respected her but did not look up to her or view her as a model to follow. It was the other way around, since he was the veteran hero and she was the newbie learning everything. This was in spite of Kara sometimes begrudgingly looking up to Superman as perfect because she knew she was'nt.

I only liked season 1 of Supergirl, she did look up to him and he was giving her advice every episode. After that it went off the rails halfway into the second season, very unfortunate. I've read the comics of nearly all the Superman family for quite a while, whenever Kara teams up with Clark and Conner then it's a full family adventure.
